I see a lot of people are jealous on me for this car
 Now my Lady isn't a shell now its a roller!!!
I was googling for Japanese engines and found a page called "JDM of California" whit HQ in LA, checked their inventory and found a 2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder QX4 VQ35DE V6 3.5L Engine, for V$1400. The only downside is that the transmission is automatic, so I got in my pickup went to their shop to check if they have a manual gearbox for the VQ35. Upon my arrival I was warmly wellcomed got one of their T-Shirts for free and went to check out the engine, and the shop manager told me that they currently don't have manual transmissions for it and then I told him the story of my car, he felt pretty bad and decided to strike a new deal whit me, I give them V$1800 for this engine, they would install it do all the changes to make the transmission work and save my parts and that in a couple of weeks a VQ35DETT Manual transmission should arrive and that they would swap out this automatic for that one and install all the conections for me.
 Damn never saw a so frendly shop so far and definetly will use those guys for the engine swaps that I do in the future, they deal only whit factory engines and so is this VQ35DE, its a N/A and used to make around 240HP in 2001, the engine feels strong but it definetly lost 10-20HP from the claimed amount!
 So afther instalation went for a drive in the car, now need to take the car to the DMV and get it certified since I changed the engine so now the VIN and Engine nomber doesn't match, and also those plates that I have on the car expired 3 years ago!
