To Maxsapphire way to set the record straight........ now C ME

 

sooooooooooo.........

 

.........ooooooooooos

guess nothing works yet

 

damn

 

i need to hang with yall folx so i can learn more of this stuff. i dont get the full gist just reading how to do it.

 

Hey is this thing done yet? Im gonna try and see if I can finish 25 VQ35 swaps before your car starts. JK, but whats the hold up now? Any new issues?

 

lol no new issues really. We had a hard time getting the tranny on but that about it. I'll be working on it everyday this week until its done.

 

aww come on! finish already lol, i read this thread before I was even thinking about doing a 3.5, bought a dek that was broken, then bought a 3.5, preped it, installed, and you still havent finished!! lol

goodluck with everything, shoudlnt take you much longer once the engine is in.

 

FL weather FTW. I've kinda given up on getting the tranny on for now and i'm working on getting everthing else back together. This is the last time I will ever attempt to install a tranny. I'm buying a tranny jack tonight so hopefully it helps some. I will also begin drill the PFTB to fit the 3.5 neck. I've already marked the holes. The tracks open up sunday so I've been trying to get all of our cars ready by then. I might call in sick tomorrow. Here are pics just because.



And I'll know later today whether this will be going on the Z.

 

Update: UTEC isnt going in the Z. That is all.

 

3 hours later..i thought you knew that days ago?

 

I was to put it on if it wasnt gone by sunday.

 

Haha. So is it going in a different car or something?

 

LOL, I said the same thing. THe same thread inspiring ppl to go 3.5 and these ppl that were inspired are all done, lol.

Firstly, is it auto? If its auto, you should definitely remove the front 2 crossmember bolts and lower the crossmember to install, uninstall. Also need to lock the torque converter in the tranny, but line up the threaded hole in the tq convertor to the hole in the flex plate (line them both up to 6 o clock position) So put the tq converter on the input shaft of the tranny and rotate til the holes look like they will be relatively close. You NEED a tranny jack man, its a ***** without it and its like 60 bucks from harbor freight. i love it. Make sure the dowel pins are removed if the engine had em and the tranny had em. Vise grip extras and wiggle em out. Put the tranny up, slide 2 bolts through it on opposite ends and the last thing is rotate the crank a tad to line the holes up for the tq converter. Thats how I do em everytime, and ive installed lots.

As for the Pathy TB. I have a pathy tb myself and was trying to avoid an adapter plate (im cheap and anxious right now, lol). Are you going to be the first to drill through the Pathy TB? Link to others who have? Those pilot holes look great so far. Nice and centered out. I thinko im gonna go out and drill mine. I love to re invent the wheel because its cheaper than experimenting. Thank you org engineers! LOL.

 

I was pretty much motivated and just drilled out holes on my pathy TB, lines up perfectly and fits very nicelt with no adapter.

 

I did basically everything you said in your post and got it on. I didnt remove the crossmember though. I used a 14mm wrench to get to the bolts on the bottom. I ended up not getting the tranny jack since the transmission was on the car and all i had to do was rotate the crank and it popped right on. I searched everywhere I didnt know I had to do that. Im not planning to install another transmission everrrr. Me and my bro did 2 in one week not fun. Now we just need to hook the rest of the stuff back up.

You should post pics of your finished TB just so eveybodycan get an idea of what it looks like. I still have 1 hole to drill.

 

To be honest, even if you got 2 of the 4 holes lined up, as long as they are diagonal, you'll be fine and create a good seal. Yeah ill def post pics of the 3.5 setup.

 

YAWN***

 

 

damn i did i2vicious' swap and Mine are you done yet?

lol, j/k

 

dont forget i did mines too lol

 

damn i forgot this thread exists so are you done yet??

 

gonna be at Maxus?

i need motivation because as of right now, i might not bring Nissie

 

This thread ended rather dry...enthusiasm and documentation could have been more consistent bra. Anyway thanks 4 the effort.

 

Yeah it will be there.

 

Its still not done.

 

The car started today and its loud. There is an oil leak and its currently being tracked down.

 

Yeah!! way to go.... hope it's a strong runner..

 

it's about time

 

 

Unfortunatly the car wont make it to maxus because of the oil leak. We are going to try our best to reseal the timing cover before then but I doubt it will happen.
