Hey Guys,
In today's video I show you how to remove the engine from the 2003 350z in order to swap in the new engine. Removing the 350z engine is actually super easy to do and a great start for anyone who has never removed an engine before. I removed my engine without the transmission attached because I didn't have enough space in my garage to pull both. It was a bit more difficult but not too bad! Hope you guys enjoy and let me know if you have any questions!

For sure bro! Good luck with yours, I didn't think it was too bad. I have a cousin out in Phoenix, we should link up and rip the Z's around when I'm out there in Oct!

@texturalbard 3 года назад

Super helpful video. Thank you! Was wondering if you had to remove the driveshaft? And if not, any tips separating the motor from trans?

@KyleHidalgo 3 года назад

Thanks man, appreciate it. No I left the driveshaft attached. It's pretty starigh forwards actually. After you disconnect everything and take out all the bolts connecting the transmission to the engine, you'll just want to hoist up the engine a bit to get it past the engine mount bolts and wiggle it forward. I think I also used a pry bar and carefully pried them apart from each other. They should separate pretty easy that way. If they don't you probably have a bolt connected or a wire still connected

@texturalbard 3 года назад

@@KyleHidalgo thanks for the reply! I’ll take a crack at it some time this week and let you know how it goes. I have Vq35de with the cd009 transmission. I found that the 2 bottom bolts on the bell housing go in from the engine side into the bell housing. Are there any more bolts oriented in that direction?

@KyleHidalgo 3 года назад

@@texturalbard hmmm it's been a while since I've done it. I would say possible 1 or 2 more but no more than that.

@sophiacampana6375 2 года назад

Great video, thanks for the helpful tips, I’m in the works of taking out my vq35de from my 350z. One thing I see you didn’t mention that I am having to face is the torque converter bolts keeping my engine from pulling out. Did u not have to do that or did u just not record it? Is it different on a manual vs an automatic? All I have left now is to drop the subframe and take out those bolts. Thanks again, following ur vids has really helped me while doing this alone.

@KyleHidalgo 2 года назад

Yeah unfortunately it is different on automatics vs manuals. I have a manual so it doesn't have a torque converter. Hope you can get it out though! Might just take some playing with it.

@seanmacgurn2623 4 месяца назад

ik it’s 3 years late but depending on the refrigerant you have you can do it yourself into the atmosphere. there’s two kinds, ones super bad, ones not that bad. i have an hr and when i called a guy to do it he said i could just release it into the atmosphere because of the kind it is

@jayarmanimaldonado8487 3 года назад

Hey im trying to find the ground points for the engine harness could you help me

@KyleHidalgo 3 года назад

They just bolt onto the front timing cover. There are a couple bolt holes about where they're located that you can attach them too.

@pierresmith8175 3 года назад

i gotta question for you it might be a lil stupid but first engine swap and im kinda wondering because i actually didnt pay attention and now im not sure where it was in the first place the battery to starter cable there 2 metal pieces to tighten down the one thats is tightened onto the starter itself and theres one before it, does that small metal piece get tightened down onto the engine itself or somewhere else like the chasis?

@KyleHidalgo 3 года назад

If I know what you're talking about it's probably a ground and you can bolt it to the engine or chassis if that's what it is. Both with work as a grounding point as long as it's touching bare metal with no paint.

@Bigtoy133 2 года назад

where u buy the tool to hold the motor and why u didn’t take the transmission together is that bad to do that or i can do it that way too

@KyleHidalgo 2 года назад

You can get the engine hoist st harbor freight or you can look around for a place to rent one. I took it out without the transmission because I didny have enough room to take them out connected, I've heard it's actually easier to take them both out together. You won't hurt anything if you leave them connected until their out

@_MadMax3 5 лет назад

Hey man I am taking mine out today and I’m on my last step, motor will move left to right but I can’t get the tranny to break free from the motor? Was yours a pain in the ass? I’m also taking the headers with mine so I don’t know if they are causing it to stick

@KyleHidalgo 5 лет назад

They shouldn't be, I took mine off with the headers. Did you make sure all the connectors were off the tranny?? If so you can also use a pry bar to pry it apart if you're careful. Don't pry to hard and be careful not to mark up the surfaces.

@NURsMec 4 года назад

Hi kyle i just subscribe your chaneand this very informative for fx35 awd project to swap the engine. I just have a question. When you unbolted those bolts from Transmission connected to engine do i need to shift the knob to a PARK or NEUTRAL? And also should i worry about the transmission adopter shaft if i started to remove the engine im scared ro damage it. Im doing it DIY i hope i can get your answer thank u and God bless

@KyleHidalgo 4 года назад

Hey man, is it an automatic or manual? Either way it doesn't matter if it's in park or neutral. You just have to make sure it can come through the body of the car. Also you don't have to worry too much about the shaft as long as you pull the engine away from the tranny and don't like accidentally set the engine down on it or anything. There is plenty of room to pull the engine forward of you have the front end off though. It's just re-installing that you should be careful. Good luck!

@NURsMec 4 года назад

Thanks man! Myfx35 is automatic AWD 2003 engine. The engine block blown up. So i just decided to get a salvage engine. Can i put 2007 engine on it? Instead of 2003 model? What about the harness do you think its gona be the same harness?

@KyleHidalgo 4 года назад

@@NURsMec I'm not positive but it kind of looks like you're limited to the 2003 - 2005 engine for a simple swap. If you go higher than that it'll most like be a lot more involved. As far as the harness goes I don't know much about the fx35 but I would probably try to get an engine with the harness just in case so you can compare and swap if needed

@NURsMec 4 года назад

Thanks kyle for replying.

@nbdxchance9010 5 лет назад

Help I did just about every step except for motor mounts and transmission. I broke all the top bolts loose but from under the car in my garage I stripped the first one I tried getting off very bad. I don't know how to get them off not even an impact could get it off back when it wasn't stripped. Any tips ? they are on there superrrr tight a bar won't fit under the car

@KyleHidalgo 4 года назад

Hmmmm yeah you gotta be kind of careful under there. What I did was use a socket wrench with a breaker on it but now that they're stripped you might want to hit them with some heat (butane torches) and then grab some vice grips and get them on as tight as you can and try and pry them off

@everythingauto83 3 года назад

I have the same problem you do ... all the tranny bolts are out and headers are disconnected from exhaust but for some reason my motor still seems connected to the tranny ? Any ideas or will I just ha e to try and pry it off ?

@pospc2 5 лет назад

Where did you route that strap to lift it? I'm pulling mine out this weekend to rebuild for forced induction.

@KyleHidalgo 5 лет назад

I wrapped it through the timing chain cover, over the plenum, and around the throttle body area.

@pospc2 5 лет назад

@@KyleHidalgo thanks. It seems a lot of people do it however they can get it. I have the same strap and my hoist looks similar. Did you remove it with cats attached to the engine or only manifolds? I have test pipes and aftermarket exhaust so mine isn't corroded and is easily removable.thought i would ask so i don't get any surprises.

@KyleHidalgo 5 лет назад

No problem man! Good luck, I kept the cats attached to the headers. It'll come out just fine that way. Just don't forget to unplug the two plugs on the tranny and the crank position sensor on the bottom of the engine. I missed those 3 at first lol

@@lazarorivera3384 the flywheel is bolted to the engine so it just slides off with it. And I'm not sure if you'll have enough space or not, it's pretty tight and I'm not positive there will be enough room after pulling the engine off the tranny shaft

@gregoryspringfield4704 3 года назад

Hey Kyle been watching you video for a while. Do u think this method work with the AWD FX35. I don't want to have to pull the trans with motor.

@KyleHidalgo 3 года назад

I would imagine so, it's probably the same basic concept, I'm not sure if the front end come off like the Z but I would imagine your engine bay probably has a bit more room in it.
