don’t know why you don’t have more subs this was high quality

I dont know why wiring specialties hasn't created a harness for this swap. There are a lot of DE cars out there with high mileage that are due for either a complete rebuild, or replacement of the motor. Since these motors are plentiful and cheap, it makes a lot of sense to restomod. I understand your desire to keep the car in OE configuration. Virginia vehicle safety inspections require a vehicle to have a motor of the same or newer year as the chassis and it has to have all of the original emissions systems.

🎉 Dude thank you so much you have saved my sanity ….. I’m just going to replace my blown DE with another DE YOU THE MAN! 🎃

This is really well done. I’m just having a hard time seeing why one would want to do this though. What’s worth it about it? I get that it’s the “better” motor but any of the shortcomings a DE has, it could be modified without just basically matching everything to be found under the hood of an HR. Just seems like a TON of investment for a slightly better motor.

Don't have the car(s). Ain't gonna do it. Don't know how I got here. But I'll say, this was a doggone good, no BS overview.

This man is a hero

Thank very helpful I am in the process to making the swap in my 2004 G35 coupe. Guilty garage already make my harness and the nats delete. Only a few things left I think tomorrow I will start the engine 🙏

call me a hater but HR swapping your G or Z for thousands of dollars only to gain extra 20 wheel hp is not worth it lol. Especially if you’re going to stay NA, it’s a waste imo. Yes the HR will handle over 500 wheel hp on a stock engine vs the DE being limited to under 500 and a safe 400 torque, but unless you ACTUALLY plan to swap an HR on a G35 or 350Z and ADD A CUSTOM TURBO KIT which not one person has, then it’s not worth it. At that point just sell your car make extra money and save up for an HR if you want, I once wanted to do an HR swap but I’m a DE boy.

Hmm I’m thinking of doing this

Same thing for a G35 I have an 07 G35 sedan that I'm putting into my coupe !

Great info. Ty for sharing. Too much tho. Just buy the hr 07-08 at least that’s what I did. De can be had from 4-7k hr 7k and up.

Same process for a g35?

i’m looking to do this but from the research i’ve done it’s a huge job. i have an almost totaled hr but the engine + trans is fine i found a cheap DE but it seems to need my engine and trans. But also the wiring is different.

This is very helpful

Thanks appreciate all the info!

So the ac lines have to be 03-04 lines and the condenser 08? Thanks!

So don't do it is what your saying ?

exactly what i needed deserves a like and sub!

the only thing is im trying to swap it but im definitely not keeping stock air box and ill be keeping the radiator but what did you do for the ecu harness from the de harness to hr ecu, and was everything else plug and play

great vid; learned a lot.

I have a 06 with a 07 HR engine in it Im from Cali Merced area I was wondering how do I get it to pass smog it has a mass air flow sensor and a tomei on it and a tune can anyone help?

Would a 2004 hood fit my 07 hr

How much did it cost all together

I'm facing same issue now, after HR swap my car power window, keyless door lock & backdoor is not working, I'm looking at the wiring diagram it show that the B44 socket is different but I don't know where is it....anyone know?

No struct tower brace?

Hello there so I did the swap and got the harness computer but some how my dash don’t work any help

I'm doing a project car I have a 2013 maxima engine I'm doing a swap does it matters for i use a 2010 to 2014 engine wire harness and ECU

Hey how’s the JWT slave holding up?? I have the same in my 370

Bro im doing a vq37vhr on a 350z at chassis do you have an email so you can help me im from Panama🇵🇦

I would just put an ls or 2jz better engine for all the work you did

Can someone help ..i have 08 g35hr motor and to swap into 08 m35de chassis can it be done?

Do you think you can put a 370z Nismo engine and trans into the DE chassis ?

Why?

Did you use same motor mounts? Also I’m planning on using my stock steering rack from the Rev up so what will be my main concern as far as throwing in the engine?

After watching this video, i'll keep the original 350z plenum in there.

What part of Mississippi?

Hey man awesome video, how does the torque feel on the HR vs DE? And would you say it was a big difference? Thanks!

Subbed.

Does an 08 hood fit an 06 no problem?

A lot of work just to keep it stock just me tho

I did this swap 4 years ago to my 2006 Nissan 350z . I bought a donor car that was hit from the back , engine had 58k . So in total I spend like 2 gs cus I did all the work my self . Was it worth it kinda I guess . Sold the car for 9 gs .

How did you avoid the issue with the hood clearance?

Im currently in the process of doing this swap and im curious on whether or not u can use the DE fans. I know u said you were gonna use the DE radiator with HR fans but why wouldnt the DE fans work?

What's the estimated total cost for this swap? My G35X has 206k, it's still going strong and I can see it easily lasting another 80k. It's in great condition and has been taken extremely great care of. However I've been looking into the different swap options for this car. I'd basically be deleting the AWD, I'm not sure if the OEM rear driveshaft is at the same spot as the RWD. This may be a deal breaker for me, hopefully it isn't. I just need to figure out weather I want to build a VQ37VHR for a supercharger rather than a TT set up. But if it's easier to do a VQ35HR swap, then I may go that route. Since it appears that there are more successful HR swaps. I may look into the V8 VK45DE swap or VR30DDTT swap as well. I basically want to stick with Nissan, rather then doing a cookie cutter LS1 swap.

jah bless

hey do you know if doing the re wiring will be a nightmare? I have a 05 de 350 an I want to do a vq37hr swap in the de chassis, great video also

Would these configurations work on a g35 coupe hr swap?

So is the de transmission and hr transmission the same? I don't recall you mentioning it in the video. So just curious

I did this swap and I’m having issues getting power to the pedal.

Will a hr trans fit on a de motor

Are the motor/transmission mounts de or hr ?

I have no way to get ahold of Eric, I’ve tried instagram, facebook, internet but still nothing at all. Do you know if he is no longer in business?

Way to many changes for the hr motor

Hey bro can we have a conversation some time from one Mississippi brother to another? Tbh i really need your help
