Look inside perfect swap VQ35
Up forsale is a complete Vq35DE. asking 600.00
The engine was replaced with a new one. My uncle didn't want to replace the Head Gasket.... Number 5 Cylinder had the leak... The only thing you need to do is replace the rear Head Gasket. This engine comes with the Intake Manifold, all sensors, Throttle Body, complete wiring Harness it is not cut.... Its Complete. All the other cylinders have had a leak down test, all 100% working and Compression is great. Local pickup would be great or can ship. This would be a great swap. I do not want to do the swap on my car. I bought a new car. This motor comes out of a 2002 Nissan Maxima, which has been taken care of really well. You must use synthetic Oil, since 4K miles we been using Mobil 1. The reason # 5 cylinder blew a head gasket was because the Nissan dealer we took it to, thought that there was a lifter knock, so they took the head apart and re-used the headbolts. The problem was the rear cat, there was rattle in the cat because it was falling apart seems to be an issue since this car doesn't use a EGR. They replaced the CAT... they also replaced the timing chain because they that it was streched just go's to show you they do a bad job on figuring out what was wrong with the car... So this is why it needs a headgasket. They car drove fine for 2 years after they did the work... and 20K miles later is when it blew the head gasket and I was like how the hell did blow a headgasket the motor never got hot... Just blew the headgasket.... Came to find out they did re-use the headbolts and its amazing that it actually lasted this long. The motor had 70,000 miles on it.
