- Welcome to Project 450SX right here at Thrashed Chassis Garage! During this series, we will be installing a VH45DE from a 1995 Q45 into Michael's 1989 240SX drift car. We encourage anyone interested in doing this swap for themselves to subscribe to the channel, and tune in for the next episode in the series, pulling the VH45DE from the Q45 and getting it ready for installation!

Currently doing this swap, but with a 300zx! At the moment I'm putting everything back together & getting ready to re install
That’s awesome man! We got a lot of help from guys doing the swap into a 300 on forums and other channels. That’s gunna be a very nice upgrade from the VG30 lol. Definitely be interested in seeing how it turns out. Anywhere we can follow the build??
Thrashed Chassis Thanks ! & Honestly I'm just taking lots of pictures lol, thought about recording & starting a series but kinda difficult to find time to do all that considering I'm still in highschool & work lol but I do post on the Facebook groups (300zx v8 swap info & parts trader) (vh45de)
Following this, swapping a vk45de into a 56 GMC Pickup
Bro I'm subed,just picked up my main components for the swap for 2k with an extra vh, I just need fuel pump,brakebooster,and more little miscellaneous
Oh sick man! What components did you go with? Not a bad deal at all.
If you have the money or are comfortable with making your own brake lines, I’d definitely recommend going with a gktech (or similar) brake booster delete - just for that extra clearance. Michael has been running one on the coupe for a couple years and he loves it. You just need the adapter plate, a 3/4” wilwood Master, a proportioning valve and the fittings and lines to go along with it.
If you run into any issues let us know and we will see what we can do to help. Overall this swap is fairly easy just a bit time consuming. Hardest part so far has been installing the headers in the car - which we will be posting a video on this weekend hopefully.
Thrashed Chassis z32 trans mazwork headers , driveline,adapter plate and xcessive ps bracket ,alt bracket and there shifter relocation, to top it off it came with wiring specialties harness. Thank you, I will. Keep up the good work I believe in both of you to make this a really good channel.
Oh nice man! We wanted to go with the mazworx trans adapter but we didn’t want to wait/deal with shipping the bellhousing out for machining. Anywhere we can follow your build? CZcams, instagram, etc?
Thrashed Chassis yea i lucked in, it came with the swap. Not at the moment. I want to start on ig, (White_s14)
Cool video guys.. Excited to see more!
Thanks! We’re diving into it as we speak. Should have some solid updates this weekend.
Those are nice headers
I am putting a vh45 in a Nissan D21 pickup.
Too bad no one makes these headers anymore. I guess I came too late to the party lol
I'll be following this. vk45dd into morris minor. so little info out there on these engines
Andre, which automatic transmission fits under your car. How much tunnel modification were required ? PDF
How did the tranny hold up?? I’ve been researching online and everyone I saw who swapped a 350z tranny on the VH45 and the VK56, both of them the trannys failed? Is there any other options other than the 350z manual trans ?
How close would this be to do on a Z32?
That's what I'm wondering I just bought one with one in it. It's a crank no spark situation
Would this work with a 200sx s12 (gen before the s13
hey guys, any recommendations on parts for my 4.1 L VH41DE? is difficult to get mods for this engine, thanks
I've got a VH41DE going in my VN commodore and have issues getting any info on engine mounts etc. I have complete setup. Engine trans etc computer ECU
Why is the variable valve timing so important and how is it related to the chassis that I’m putting in a S14?
How much it cost the whole swap
What angle kit and sway bar setup are you guys planning on running?
It’s been on 2.5” extended lowers (Godspeed adjustables I’m pretty sure) and there is a local guy who does modified knuckles. He also doesn’t use a front sway bar. Michael has been running that for a few years.
Does the trans crossmember need a mount???
Yes. It’s designed for the stock mount, z32 or s-Chassis, both will work. We used a circuit sport solid mount and it required some trimming of the mount to sit flat and we had to drill some additional holes in the cross member to install it, but it’s definitely doable.

At about 9:15 or so we address the mount.
Dope thanks!
Engine mounts anyone help?
We used Xcessive brackets. It's a solid mount to the chassis. Were you looking for something else?
