Default Universal VHR Swap

Hello there, I'm a myg37 member and have been doing wiring for some time. My main hobby is wiring (swaps and wire tucks) so when I bought the G, especially after the bay work I started to entertain this idea and what came after was months of studying the FSM.

A special thanks to Frank motorvate and Cement and other friends outside of the forums for the help.


Overall the swap itself is not "that difficult" the difficulties arise when you want to obtain the factory gauges.
For these to work you have to create your own CAN BUS lines so they can all communicate as well as add resistors to it since the IPDM no longer exists (Fun stuff). The last months was trying to obtain a speed signal since the factory uses the ABS sensors to communicate with the tachometer and these readings are sensitive.

Now that I have a working engine and wiring in my garage I can offer wiring services for folks interested in this.

I'll be offering:
Wire tuck harnesses
Auto to manual conversion harness
AWD to MT RWD harnesses
Universal swap harnesses
G35/350z VHR swap harnesses
Harnesses with a built in oil pressure sensor of your liking
E85/Flex fuel sensor
Cruise control switch for map switching

All harnesses will be tested prior to shipping, I'll try to keep it plug and play as much as possible to help the customer.

At the current moment the swaps are only available to work with the 370z meter with or without the triple meter.
S-mode/Revmatch from the 370z Nismo will be a tough one being the customer has to have a NISMO transmission.
Since S-mode is dependent on the speed it uses the 4 ABS sensors along with an Input shaft speed sensor meaning any change in diff ratio, wheel size, erratic wheel speeds, etc might trip the system.
In my opinion S-mode is not a cost effective option for the customer nor myself especially for what it offers.
The recycling of connectors can help shave some of the costs this swap consumes so cores are welcomed.

Note: The ECM will need to be flashed to Uprev/ECUTEK since there are a multitude of codes that need to be disabled.

For the South Florida locals I can also take care of the installs as well. Huge shout out to the knowledge this forum provides.

PS: Feel free to comment what would you like to see as far as wiring goes i can tailor any harness to your liking. For idling and acceleration videos check out my IG page What_wires



Thank you
Oscar

I have done my manual transmission swap for a few years already, and there's a few things I'd love to solve if possible. The key sign on the left side of the dash, SRM retrofit, and press clutch to start instead of brake. I have all the parts from SRM equipped car, so I believe it's only the harness that I need. If you can provide the harness that fixes all 3 things I mentioned, I'd love to get it!

Hello there,
In the conversion from automatic to manual you end up converting an automatic car to an almost fully manual car. You still keep the automatic BCM. This is where the issue lies with the press BRAKE to start instead of clutch.

You'd need a working manual BCM installed and programed, then you'd have to manually pin and depin some wires to add the CLUTCH POSITION SENSOR and CLUTCH SAFETY SENSOR. If you are comfortable adding pins to the ECM connectors I could maybe set you up with something.

As far as the Key light goes, what year 370z do you own?
