03 Infiniti G35 LS1/T56 Build Thread
My friend and i are putting a ls1 into a g35! he started off as a low and slow stance type person but after awhile i finally talked him over to drag racing and weve took the time to research and are gonna give it a go! everyone kept saying turbo or procharger and i got him to stick with a ls1 becuase he knows how good they run and how much stress they can take!
Car is a 2003 Infiniti G35 vq35de motor with 63,000 miles he sick of the slow v6 so its time for an upgrade!!

heres everything to do the swap
last time youll see this little thing in here
got started on friday once we got everything in the shop ignore the broke *** filter he hit a bag of dog food and messed some stuff up
i got the ls1 torn apart pretty quick this will be the 5th or 6th one ive done now im going to teach him everything there is to know incase something happens he will know
since we dont have electric ran yet in the shop we gotta wait till monday to run lights radio ext.. so this will have to do till then for a radio
ignore how bright the flash is lol its pitch black in there so we wanted to get stuff done and we pulled the hatch in and used it for light since they were changing brakes and rotors on there anyway
theyre taking rims off since he will have a drag setup on there low and slow just turned to gofastparts =)
headlamps and flashlights to change some brakes and rotors haha
got the plenum off and radiator along with belts and a few hoses didnt have the tool for condensor yet
called it a night since it was too dark snapped a bolt on the caliper of the civic so that took a whole day running to and from autozone to fix lol
do fresh day and we removed alternator and ac compressor and condensor found out its a bitch to get the motor mounts off the motor with the header attached and saw its much easier to unbolt from underneath to just pull em completely with motor
unbolted shifter driveshaft and transmount
after yanking and pulling we finally got the damn thing free finding a few bumps in the road like the catalytic converters catching on steering so unbolted driver side thank god for pb blaster it was rusted beyond beleive and a bolt snapped so did alot of cussing and hammering to get it off
got her out after unplugging more of the harness finding it wrapped all under the trans and under the motor man are there a bunch of metal brackets on there god knows how much weight hes saving just from them and heatsheilds!
oops mess lol
figured we would call it a night since it was getting dark again electrician is coming tomorow morning so we are going to pick up everything organize all the parts paint a few things and run our lights so we can see at night
stay tuned !!!!!

so on this rainy day we werent rushing anything just doing little stuff here and there until this weekend when we pull the all nighter and get er done !
finally got electricity and got some overhead shop lights they werent bright at all so we got 2 of these stand up lights for 30$ and the whole shop is lit up now got our radio and everything. but did find out that water gets in so we had to move everything to back wall throwing away boxes we dont need
with no flash you can tell how bright it is in here so we dont have to use the hatch and a bunch of flashlights again
went ahead and removed the springs with a handy tool from advanced auto its a life saver! getting em ready to clean.
got springs off the heads and seals now theyre ready for some carb cleaner and scotchbrite dont want dirty heads on a clean motor
meanwhile while kyle was cleaning the heads i decided to start cleaning up the only thing dirty on the motor the nasty pistons heres a before and after with a ton of elbow grease and carb cleaner
heres a pic of some parts we went through
only thing i see us having a problem with is the master cylinder and the fuel line other then that it should be smooth sailing .... hopefully !
tomorows plans are bring the air compressor over get it all set up so we can cut the exhaust off and start painting valve covers and such

Why are you cutting the exhaust off, the whole thing is bolted on with like 6 or 8 bolts?
