    It is possible to replace the engine with an R35 engine, with the possibility that it would not be surprising if it is able to deal with and cross rugged places such as the desert and mountains in the most difficult terrain. There were successful experiments with this mighty R35 engine on the Nissan Patrol Y61, and the result was a shock they did not expect, even in the highest sand dunes. It's like a speedboat cutting through the desert sand

    Congrats Ry! 👏🏻 Awesome to see all your hard work pay off! Did you happen to keep your notes on the jumper harnesses? I think I have two of the three plugs figured out, going through the service manuals with the spreadsheets off irate4x4, which I'm sure you spent plenty of time looking at... (man, what a pain in the butt) Just wondering if it was mainly different pin locations on the older '06? I can't wait to get my Frontier back up and running. Your videos are truly inspiring. Cheers dude! 🍻

    Stoked to see it running! Dont forget about the auxiliary cooling fan. When i did my swap i forgot to add it. For the most part you wouldnt even notice it missing, until you have the vehicle sit for awhile, temps will eventually rise. The clutch fan isn't enough to pull air in when sitting. But as soon as you start to drive at highway speeds, its fine.

    • @Rythecarguy
      @Rythecarguy  ปีที่แล้ว

      @@Rythecarguy I have it mounted in between the radiator and transcooler. The way I mounted it is very haggard. Trimmed with sawzall, and held in with zipties. I did this fix right before going offloading and it held up great so I never addressed it further. But I'll eventually create mounts for it lol.

    Great job on the swap. Kinda surprised you struggled so much with the power steering and A/C lines as both of these fixes are very common knowledge on most VK swap forums and other Y-tube videos. You haven't addressed you radiator issue thus far but hopefully you discover there is a easy fix for that too rather than doing some elaborate electric fan swap.

      @@Rythecarguy I still haven't charged my ac yet after my engine swap. Thinking about just paying someone as well. I haven't gone thru all the videos yet, doesn't look like you did titan swap suspension yet. What struts did you decide on since I am assuming you will do a full titan swap? I know all dogs just released a fox titan swap strut, not extended travel though. Really aren't much options with nisstec basically closing. Radflo is basically the only other option and they don't have a great rep lately with leaking and making noise. I know you can put rc frontier struts in there but they are not adjustable but are cheap. That v8 sounds awesome, looking forward to you getting it qll together!

      People also call it the clock spring. In the Xterras along with the clock spring comes a angle sensor. That sensor is used for VDC based on my understanding. If that goes bad, then it can cause issues with VDC.

      @Rythecarguy  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hard to say in different markets. It's hard to find one under 100k that isn't wrecked TBH. My guess would be around the 5K mark. If you can tolerate higher miles and maybe a little maintenance work while the engine is out then you can find tons of them around the 3k mark.
