what engine will fit on my 04 coupe 5AT will a engine of a 06g35 work? any help is appreciated it tried searching no luck, thanks for the info in advance.

 

Anybody? I need to know asap please.

 

Manual/automatic will determine if revup or not for the 06...on top of that depending how old/new your car is there was a variation in ECU between those engines the one's put in later 04's...so give moar info.

 

My car is a 5at as far as the engine im not sure if it was a 6nt or 5at my car was made in november of 04 I believe not too sure

 

I believe you can use the short block from any of them but you'll want to reuse your heads if you're not sure whether the engine you're replacing it with is a regular DE or RevUp. RevUp heads will not work with a non-revup car without a lot of work so if you're not sure what you're getting, stick with what you've got and just use the short block.

Also make sure your new/replacement engine came out of a rear wheel drive car. We can't use front drive VQs from, say, a Maxima. Significant differences between the two. It needs to be from a G35/350.

 

if you are doing a direct replacement you need to make sure its a non-rev vq35de

They are from all automatic G35 from 2003-2006
All 2003-2004 G35 sedans and coupes
All 2003-2005 350Z as well

Visually the easiest way to tell the diff between the non-rev and revup(2005-2006 6MT G35s) are the timing covers/cam covers. Make sure your motor you swap in looks like the NOV-REV pic below and not the REVUP.

Also, since you are 5AT, make sure you pull the pilot bearing if there is one in the motor - you won't get the trans in w/out removing it

NON-REV



REVUP

 

Copy/pasted my response from a previous thread...

I recently replaced my 04 35x engine as well due to OC issue (130K mile on it)

The following should work:
Automatic: 03-06 sedan. For coupe (you will have to retain the upper oil pan from your current engine)
Manual: 03-04 (05 and 06 manuals were rev-up and they won't work)

My replacement was from an '05 coupe (30k miles) and I had to retain the upper oil pan from my 04x

Hope this helps!!

 

thanks for the info!! so bascially its best just to stick to my year lol...i jsut hope the engine i get doesnt have the damn OC issue...its from a junkyard but they offers warranty for 60 days i belive or 30

 

you don't have to stick to your year..just make sure its a vq35de from a:
2003-2005 350z (any trans)
2003-2006 5AT(auto) trans G35
2003-2004 6MT(manual) trans G35

Those are the only requirements. Look at the pictures I posted. If the timing chain cover matches the first picture you are good to go.
