So since my motor blew i purchase a motor from a 2006 350z which is the same motor as is my car and im in the process of puttin it in now just waiting on a clucth, its suprisingly was not too difficult just very time consuming,
Here are some pics ill post more soon, also what do you guys think about getting the front bumper painted along the bottom black like a lip but also to protect cause i thought about getting it painted with like a glossy and smooth rhino lining?? i did a mock up of it in paint but it wont let put up the pic but ill try in a new post after this one!

 

okay well it wont let me post it im working on it but basically imagine the front bumper just painted black along the bottom just up to like the scoops.. idk let me know what you think.

 

^^^not really sure about that but it doesnt sound appealing to me... it would be better with a black lip if you want that look.


Thats a big hole you blew in the block there. WoW

 

the only reason i was gonna do it is because mine is already scraped up and im low on funds so i thought it may be the same look but im looking for a lip

 

since the motor is out, its a good time to swap in some HR headers along with HR oem cats. WHen you have cash then get HR HFC's

no on that black lip.

 

+1, no for the lip

swapping the motors isnt so bad just make sure that everything is connected correctly again, and while its out, id go with headers too lol.

i actually pinched my power steering line when i pulled my z's motor out.

 

damn mad props

 

Ha i wish i could afford the headers but i cant, im hoping to just get it running again. and ya i kinda pinched mine im just gonna replace so i have no future problems i was pist when i saw where it was lol. and thanks for the props man im glad its comin out well

 

respect, lots time to put back hope u have extra hands lol

 

Good job dude!

I applaud your attitude in tackling the project yourself rather than shelling out tons of money for someone else to do it.

 

Respect! seems like time consuming even tho stealership replaced mine in 2 days due to oil consumption, waiting for a DIY :-P

 

Good for you man I love pulling motors and doing swops.

 

Nothing like doing it yourself if you can.......props to you.

 

Props to you man

 

need a diy for sure
