VHR swap 05 G Coupe
#16
The HR has a starter that mounts on the driver’s side (left) whereas the DE starter is mounted on the passenger side (right). The HR starter may make contact with your DE steering shaft. So, the HR stering rack puts the shaft at a different angle giving it more room and clearance for the starter.
zfever does harness conversions. But their solution for VHR is to somehow run both DE and VHR ECUs side by side.

Great job on the pump, I'm in for updates and to clear up all the misinformation

The Zfever harness conversion is over $2000, plus $450 for uprev with NATS delete. I am on somewhat of a budget. That’s why I didn’t go with them. Both Guilty Garage and Hexa are both much cheaper. I’m at $775 plus shipping with Guilty, that includes uprev license and NATS delete. He guarantees quality work with no butt connectors or solder. Once it’s in my hands I will post that up.

Steering to starter clearance myth-busted
Looks good, can barely even see the starter looking through from inside the car.
And from the top.
Steering shaft not even close to the starter. It’s maybe an inch from the exhaust manifold, at the very least. Plenty of room.
edit: it actually forward of the steering shaft joint, with the angle of my pic it looks even closer than it actually is.

For the fuel connection, I used a 2008 HR 350Z fuel damper line, the one that goes between the chassis feed line and the fuel rail port. I had to bend the feed line a bit to match.
I converted the car to manual, I used ZSpeed HD CSC, wilwood master cylinder, and their stainless braided line in between.
-the swap is running. I have been on a long hiatus from the build dealing with some personal issues, but I’m starting back up with it, so I may be due for some updates here soon. After I finish the sleeved LS build on our 8 second S197 (for reliability) that’s a priority, I plan on finishing the G35.

Wish you had a YT channel showing steps Yoo trust.
where are you guys located?
mines a 6 speed already but I’m looking into getting gear box n motor “have to”
I have lots questions.
do I need to change diff, drive shaft, z1 mounts or can stock rock for now? I know you said something about the hr rack. I’m going to be doing a super budget build as well lol
”I wish I had a daily”
swapping my daily is really good too much rush!
