The starter location will interfere when using the normal VQ35 swap kits. The swap can be done... pretty similar to the VQ35 swap with the slight differences such as a "must keep" drive by wire setup, Starter interference, Wiring, etc.

Looks like it's back to the junk yard to get the gas pedal with throttle cables and I'll have to do quite a bit of firewall bashing to clear the starter. I read somewhere there maybe interference with the steering as well. I might have zfever tackle the wiring. I emailed wiring specialties and they don't offer this service yet.

not to sound like i know everything... just trying to help u out! but u sound like u have no clue what so ever about what u are getting yourself into...i am actually finishing up my vq35hr build! http://zilvia.net/f/chat/397304-vq35hr-s13-build.html
i know u are doing the 37vhr but they are very similar and the starter is not even close to the firewall so u don't have to bash it in for that.... that big thing on the back of the engine, which will be in ur way is the VEL-assembly actuator ...the starter will actually sit on the steering rack.... its a pain in the ass... i have gone thru this.. if u read my build thread u will see i went and did RHD conversion because i didn't want to mess with modifying the sub frame or lowering the sub frame like the ls1 guys did in the beginning....for suspension geometry reasons. but i later heard (not sure if its true or if it will work on the 37) but i was told that to relocate the starter on an hr to the opposite side like the de u can swap the mid and sub oil pans from the hr to the de... but i also don't know if the hr or de trans is used...also i went with the factory ecu flashed with UPREV that removes BCM and NATS system... and u can keep the DBW setup which is what i am doing, the 350z pedal actually bolts right up to the s13 stock location, but u have to bend the pedal up a lil from hitting the floor... just my 2 cents...
