HKS actually use the OEM VQ25det manifolds in their old kit except for the crossover part of the manifold behind the engine so we know they will bolt on.

Everything else is pretty similar so I can't imagine why it wouldn't... except for the loom/ECu side of course

Yup, but HKS also have that weird flange adapter for the the turbo.

But also changing ECU means you have to go RWD manual though? Otherwise wouldn't you have the change the whole driveline?

Manifolds isn't the main issues. Yes, they bolt on, but the engine management side of things would be the biggest head ache.

Also sorting a turbo and wastegate to suit the 3500cc with the confined packaging.

Change ECU and loom to the PNM35 items. I do not know if it has different connectors than the VQ25det for the speedo etc

Then just run a piggyback or get it flashed.

Change all the ecu's and all the looms. Don't like the sounds of that, too much work and headaches, and for what? The VQ25det is the better engine, unless you plan to drop 15k into the VQ35.

Sure, but the question was installing a VQ35 into an NM35 and using all the turboey bits

The turbine housing is way too small, and the manifold studs will need to be swapped around... And the gearbox won't bolt up, and the starter is in the wrong spot...

Then the cams won't work... and the real drama's begin.

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Sounds good.  I don't 100% understand what your getting at here. When you say, "I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down" do you mean this - there is a panel with factory paint, without any prep work, they paint the entire panel with primer, then colour then clear?  If that's what you mean, sure it will "stick" for a year, 2 years, maybe 3 years? Who knows. But at some stage it will flake off and when it does it's going to come off in huge chunks and look horrific.  Of course read your technical data sheet for your paint, but generally speaking, you can apply primer to a scuffed/prepped clear coat. Generally speaking, I wouldn't do this. I would scuff/prep the clear and then lay colour then clear. Adding the primer to these steps just adds cost and time. It will stick to the clear coat provided it has been appropriately scuffed/prepped first.  When you say, "but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat" I am imagining someone not masking up the car and just letting overspray go wherever it wants. Surely this isn't what you mean?  So I'll assume the following scenario - there is a small scratch. The person manages to somehow fill the scratch and now has a perfectly flat surface. They then spray colour and clear over this small masked off section of the car. Is this what you mean? If this is the case, yes the new paint will eventually flake off in X number of years time.  The easy solution is to scuff/prep all of the paint that hasn't been masked off in the repair area then lay the paint.  So you want to prep the surface, lay primer, then lay filler, then lay primer, then colour, then clear?  Life seems so much simpler if you prep, fill, primer, colour then clear.  There are very few reasons to go to bare metal. Chasing rust is a good example of why you'd go to bare metal.  A simple dent, there is no way in hell I'm going to bare metal for that repair. I've got enough on my plate without creating extra work for myself lol.
