Thanks man, yeah I did end up going with my VQ35 brand new crate engine and just put everything one it before I dropped it into my car, sounds great and feels even better. Although I do have a squeaky clutch outta nowhere, anyone ever heard of this? Yesterday my clutch was actually STUCK to the floor??? How the F--- does that happen? Any feedback would be appreciated because it's going into the dealer on Monday and hopefully can fix it by then with some suggestions because I know nothing about tranny. Peace.
