Hi I知 Adrian I was wondering if anybody lives in Phoenix Arizona and has time to help me with a vq swap on my 2003 g35 coupe I would gladly appreciate it and Just looking for a friend to friend a g35 owner to another g35 owner to help me I知 not really a guy that knows his way around a engine but just need some knowledge and some extra hands to get a project done if I receive any message for help I will buy the engine and we could get this project started and no I知 not a spam I知 serious person I値l even drop a pic of my car : has almost 200,000 miles on it so I知 pretty sure it痴 in need of a new engine

 

Hey if your not mechanically inclined this is gonna be quite a task. I did mines a few years ago so if ya need some help shoot me a pm. There's Also a thread on here as well that I posted when doing my swap. Hopefully someone local can help you out!

 

yeah I understand I know sum stuff about the vq engine and been researching watching videos on YouTube I know it痴 quite a task to do or a big favor to ask I知 trying to do it myself with a g35 guy rather take it to a mechanic and charge me the same thing I paid for the car and thanks I will pm when I do the engine swap
Im just worried bout it cuz it痴 getting to that 200,000 mark and no other lights are on but the check engine soon light I hope my engine ain稚 going bad? The owner took good care of it kept it in the garage for awhile didn稚 have no lights when I bought till like around November 2019 and I had it since 2018 of December i haven稚 heard any knock of the engine

 

I'd do a compression check before you pull the engine. Pull the engine code, you don't want to change the motor because you have an O2 sensor that's bad.

I have 185k on my G35 and so far the engine is rock solid. 263k miles on my Accord and I'm a bit late on my oil change so its been 8400 miles since I did it last (I use synthetic oil) and its down maybe 1/3rd of a quart.

Properly maintained you can easily get 250k miles out of these engines.

 

Plug in an OBD2 scanner and see what trouble code the car is saying. I wouldn't go replacing the engine unless there was something wrong with it.

 

will do thank you I知 pretty sure autozone will check the code if I知 not mistaken??

 

thats being said is relieving my stress lmao it痴 like 189,000 miles and yess I also use synthetic oil for my car nothing but the best so yeah I think it値l be okay I was thinking the same things is to check the code before doing the big task at hand or any other things but I値l keep y誕ll updated on it I知 happy to see The g35 community is very helpful
