Well the motor let go last night.
Was mid pull against an m4 and lost all power and insane white smoke puked out the exhaust and there’s oil all over passenger tire and engine bay.
Don’t have enough for a built motor so hopefully I can find a stock one in decent shape

Wow, sorry to hear that. If you drive hard a built motor is mandatory. It appears that you do. I just got my used Carrillo A beam rods and 11:1 diamond pistons in my hand
from my old motor. If you do at least that you will be good for a while as long as you don't turn the boost up.

Sold my v3 coil overs. Too stiff for good traction, I hardly ever corner aggressively so I don’t need anymore low. I’d rather have the comfort and weight transfer of stock suspension.

Also picked up a motor from an auto 2018 nismo. Has some leaking valve covers but she had 22k miles and got it with shipping for 2100.
I’m hoping the swap is not very hard as I’m going to have a local shop do it. I would like to take it to seb but he won’t get to it till late summer and this is my only car at the moment. I believe i just need to use the wiring from my stock motor and I should be good but I guess we’ll see.
Let me know if you have any advice switching an auto motor to a manual car.

You will need a pilot bushing for the crank. Just swap over your sensors and wiring harness where needed and you should be good. Will need to move the exhaust manifold studs to the other holes.
Should be about it.

Could you elaborate on the exhaust manifold studs? I vaguely remember one needing to be shorter for the FI kit but I don’t really remember what the difference or issue was

Newer engines used different holes but they do still have the old threads in the head from what I remember.

Never mind just found the thread. Sounds like it shouldn’t be any issue

He used new factory exhaust manifold with old heads. He had to drill and tap.

Typical rod failure on the stock block. I believe this was right around 20lbs. Was expecting the intake to pop before the rods but unfortunately didn’t happen that way.
Stock nismo motor going in now
