    Back when I was in high school a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V (B15) was my first car. Had it for around 9 years and then got involved in an accident that ended with the car getting totaled by insurance.

    Life happened, got out of college and ended moving from PR to TX for work. Been here 5 years and have been slowly buying parts for my next build which will be another B15 but this time want to run a Maxima 3.5 V6 engine.

    Want to document every step and figured this forum along with IG will be the places.

    Pictures of my old B15 to start and keep some motivation...

    As far as engine mount there were like 4 companies doing them about 5 - 6 years ago. Now the only one left is 2J-Racing and apparently the kit sucks, but at least the axle bracket adapter works so I bought one. There is another company that came out with some nice product so I will be using it for the passenger side & lower mounts. Tranny mount remains the same as OEM.

    Harness is the most complicated piece imo but just found a plug-n-play one along with reflashed ECU so bought it as well.

    VQ swap part for fwd are getting very hard to find these days. Rwd swap parts are way easier to find.
