Thank you for sharing this extensive list of parts. I am sure it will be useful to anyone trying to complete the swap. I was initially looking at a VR transmission swap but I understood this would be more difficult. The TCM and ECM bit rates make this more difficult.

Did you change the center console? Or did you retain the old console.

Cheers again

 

I had to complete the inside lol I don’t do anything half a**** lol and yes the vr30 swap is a whole other mission, it’s tough because the vr30 is a 7speed and u usually swap the valve body from the stock g37 7speed over to the vr30 trans and I have no idea how that works with our car

 

That looks clean bro. Did you get the console from EBay? I have the part number for the shifter column. Can you share the one for the remaining assembly?

Yes, I’ve had this car since 09, it’s done about 140k miles now. Been maintaining it periodically. Did the gallery gaskets, timing, water pump etc last year. I was thinking of eventually getting the supercharger from Z1. I know the 5 speed is good for 500tq but I was thinking this would be a better driving experience in the long term.

Yes from my research we can’t run the VR trans without a standalone ECU. Our ECU’s do not play well with the 7 Speeds in the G37 or the Q50s.

 

I got the center console from onpointparts.com unfortunately I don’t have the receipt but I don’t think it showed the part # on it anyway.


if your going fi I would definitely go with the mt swap. I’m finishing up a rear mount turbo setup on my sedan atm.

 

I can help out with the tune.

 

Much appreciated but I have a tune scheduled with Moncef from Admin, I do appreciate it tho bro

 

 

Neat bro. You got any socials where we can follow the build.

My tuner is RaceBox. Are you getting a remote tune?

 

it’s gonna be remote tuned by Moncef from Admintuning, and as far as socials u can find me on IG Juniorboye37, I literally just started the page so there’s no content but I’ll upload the mods I’ve done if that’s what you’d like to see. I usually do everything hush hush and I’m a mechanic so it’s hard for me to take pics and videos while I’m working since I’m always on a time limit using my shops lifts lol and the rear mount is going to be revealed once it’s finished and I rerun it at out drag strip in June.

 

which color wires did you use for nuetral bypass bro im getting crank but no start i used grey and yellow for my 2011 g37 and i did samw for this 2008 g35 bypass nuetral but crank no start i dont know if wiring is different

 

yeah u got the colors correct, ur using the brake pedal to start the car right? But getting crank and no start?

 

Yeah im using break to start it and i tried starting it in first it wouldnt crank but later i did it on first gear wheels started spinning like the car wanted to start probably thinks first gear is a neutral or something i dont see any wiring wrong i dis since i followed samw ateps for my g37 and that one started right up, Tbh just really stressing out thinking of parting out the car.

 

ooooh the car ur working in rn is the g35 not g37?

 

colors r different for a 2008 g35

 

Wait so what colors do i use cus at this moment im using grey/yellow, So whoch ones do i use for the 2008 g35 i dont really get the diagram just let me know the colors please?
