My 350Z is running and driving with the LS1 now (details), so I need to sell the stock drivetrain. 

It's a VQ35DE with the 350Z five-speed automatic transmission. 209,000 miles, starts/stops/runs/shifts perfectly aside from a single issue: It has an intermittent miss, which I'm almost positive is a coil pack. The car came with extra coil packs in the trunk, so they're included with the sale. It ran fine at the track day I took the car to, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Includes everything pictured, along with the stock 350Z driveshaft and the ECU. No wiring harness–we cut it up badly to install the LS1. They're not expensive on eBay, though. The alternator, power steering pump, and a/c compressor are gone, too. 

It's sitting in my garage in Ormond Beach, FL, and I can easily deliver it anywhere between here and the Mitty at Road Atlanta. I'm open to taking a few different routes to get to the Mitty, too, if that helps. I'm driving up to Atlanta on April 25th.

I think this is a pretty darn good deal, at least based on what I'm seeing these sell for on eBay. Somebody needs to build an awesome VQ35DE-swapped something!

I'll take cash or paypal, though I do ask that you send a $100 deposit before I drag it anywhere. My cell is REDACTED, and I prefer text messages.

I wonder if the 350Z ECU can plug into my G35 harness to get me from 260 to 287 hp...

Somebody should plug this into one of the ubiquitous dead auto rx8s for the challenge.

I wish I had a 240z shell to plug this into.

In reply to maschinenbau :

I can 99% guarantee it plugs in. Does it get you more power? Not sure.

Oh my God, even better is that white e30 on here for $700. Such a good thing I don't live close to fl.

Who needs a 288 HP e30? (If you don't raise your hand just leave. Now. I'm not kidding. Get out.)

Nobody has bought this yet? Please take this out of my life before I swap something stupid.

I think swapping that engine/trans into an 80's model Nissan pickup would be neat

Or an early 80's Datsun wagon...

Afternoon bump. Anymore bad ideas?

Are you coming to Carlisle this year?  

(not for me... just a suggestion - typically a good place to unload unwanted import stuff)

Yep, I could easily take this there, too.

Bump and a price drop: $700 and I'll throw in the noisy 3.35:1 350Z rear differential sitting on the shelf. Plenty of life left in it for a Challenge build.

My bad ides is Jetta/Bora.  So don't bring it to Carlisle as that's too close for comfort. wink
