Infiniti G37 RB swap, going all in!

G37Sam

Update 20-12-2012:

Awww dayum look what showed up!



Engine bay blasted and cleaned with every detergent on the planet! Haven't seen it this clean in 5 years haha



Engine and transmission mounts, welded and painted ready to go back in



Poor crankcase was cut and welded 270 times before they got it perfect. Will be prepped and painted to look OEM again.



Oil temperature sensor thread



Transmission spacer surfaced and painted to match the engine block. Stealth mode baby!



Eibach fronts without the engine & transmission for those wondering



Update 23-12-2012:

Everything has been bolted together and should be going in today!

Transmission spacer installed, clutch and flywheel are in too!



Wastegate flange welded



Transmission mount spacer, OEM style baby!



Pics of the crankcase










Crank case painted, oil cooler/filter relocation in place





Now here's the horrible part.. there was a major communication issue over the phone about what I wanted to paint my intake manifold.. here's how it came out

Update 24-12-2012:

Engine & Transmission are in! That purple manifold is slowly growing on me to be honest. What do you think?



Engine mounts looking good



Just can't get enough of this engine



Aftermarket swaybars shouldn't be a problem I guess



Update 26-12-2012:

Intercooler piping check!



Keeps getting tighter! (that's what she said)





Tomei fuel rail and ID injectors are in place



Turbo oil feed



Update 28-12-2012:

OEM foot e-brake out, R33 clutch pedal to replace it. I'm going to the scrap yard tomorrow to try and find a G37/370Z clutch pedal as it would hopefully be a direct swap.



Tial BOV..



Intercooler piping almost done



Turbo clearance "slightly" better



Power steering pump pulley is too close to the radiator fans, the mechanic is thinking of throwing in a small spacer to push it further out





Fuel rail with the injectors in



Cam angle sensor



Thread made for water temp sensor



Hmmm... which wastegate spring to go for..





Driveshaft customization done!





Transmission spacer



We're getting somewhere!

Update 08-01-2012:

Great news! The car was started to check for leaks, minor leak in the turbo oil feed was fixed and MAN did it sound like a monster. Stay tuned for video's If everything goes as planned she should be going for ECU wiring & exhaust fabrication tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Here are some pics for now.

Oil cooler is in



OEM wiring with ignition system



Pedals are in and functioning properly!



Close up on the accelerator pedal, was a b!tch to get right the mechanic tells me
