Low Mileage JDM VQ35 Rev Up Motor with 6-Speed Manual

When a 350Z or G35 coupe needs a new drivetrain, tracking down a healthy engine and a matching manual transmission separately can take weeks. This package skips the search. It pairs a low-mileage JDM VQ35 Rev Up motor with a 6-speed manual, rear-wheel-drive transmission. As a result, you can restore your car’s high-revving character and three-pedal fun in one install.

The Rev Up Difference

Nissan built the Rev Up VQ35DE to rev higher and pull harder. Its redline climbs to 7,000 rpm, and revised internals and cam timing give it more top-end punch than the earlier VQ35DE. Therefore, it’s the version many Z owners want. To keep it healthy, check the oil level regularly, as with any high-revving engine.

A Matched Pair

Because the motor and transmission come as a set, you don’t have to worry about mixing parts from different cars. In addition, buying them together usually costs less than buying each separately. Simply install them with a fresh clutch and flywheel, and you’re ready to drive.

Who This Combo Is For

• Replacement buyers: 2005–2006 350Z and G35 coupe owners with a tired engine or gearbox
• Upgraders: earlier VQ35DE owners who want Rev Up power (confirm parts for your year)
• Auto-to-manual converts: owners adding a 6-speed, with the right pedals, wiring and ECU
