The VQ35DE is one of the most popular engines Nissan produces. It came in 10+ vehicles worldwide and because parts are readily available off the shelf at your local parts store it makes swapping it into your S-chassis a little more desirable than the JDM choices out there.
About 5 years ago we here at Z-Fever did our 1st VQ35 swap into an S13. We had to use an AEM stand alone and that wasn't cheap. We also had to change the stock drive-by-wire throttle body out for a cable driven unit. Doing this was pretty expensive.
Since then we have worked to develop a cheaper solution for our customers and we finally figured it out about 3 years ago. Here is a video of our tuning solution in action:

We use the stock OEM 350Z ECU, harness, and accelerator pedal.....
We also need the pedal's connector and an OBD-II connector from an 03+ Nissan vehicle.
You send us that along with the S-Chassis' upper and lower harness and we wire it all up and send it back to you looking like this:
From there, you can install it......
Here is Z-Fever's S14 that is running a twin turbo VQ35 engine:
