Worlds first vq37 nismo swaped bmw e30

I have a friend in south FL who VHR swapped a 03 Z with EVERYTHING from a 370z.

From an electronic standpoint the man spent $2k on recycled wiring and had a perfectly running VHR swapped 350z.

The issue is how much stuff the OEM wiring has and dissecting these to leave the just the necessary is just as challenging

From the BMW standpoint wiring might be a bit easier depending on how complete that VHR swap is.

I'm a firm believer the VHR dominates, their only downfalls are gallery gaskets and oil cooler. I compare the gallery gasket to BMW Vanos issues if it ever develops. Anything 6 cylinders making more than 300whp will heat up that oil, the VQ will just heat it up faster than most.

Once both cars are set up, engine failure would be most cost effective with a VHR. The BMW counterpart is starting to become a more exotic engine due to it's age.
