I didn't respond immediately, in the hope that someone actually knew a god answer, but seeing as no-one has responded yet....

I wouldn't hold out too much hope of there being a "kit" to rebuild one of these. Whether you can even get everything you need to fully rebuild one might even be hard to answer. I'm sure that you can likely get calves and rods and pistons and rings and bearings and the like. But sneaky little minor parts might be harder to track down.

Gawd. I just saw the typos in my post and nearly had a seizure, until I realised that calves is easy to mistype from valves.

Engine swap options are obvious. VQ35s of various sorts from later V cars and Z cars, and the same with VQ37. With or without turbo, depending on your willingness to go down that rabbit hole.

Honda K? Arguably a better motor, just sounds like shit.

Most parts would be available through suppliers like partsouq, amayama, nengun, Nissan themselves. Doubt you'll find a rebuild kit as such. There are some parts that are shared with other Nissan engine families. Things like bearings, valves, valve guides etc.

Partsouq/amayama will be your friend when it comes to part numbers and price.

Depends what needs to be done.
I'd personally go with VQ35 crank, cams and forged rods into a VQ25det, making it effectively a 2.8L with 8.8 compression.

There are no VQ25det "kits" that I am aware of although there is a mob (Takumi Autoworks) in the UK which are putting a kit together.

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
