oh yeah! Also how does the whole front clip thing work, do you weld on the front clip to your car or is it there for you to pick apart at and put it in yours?

first off...did you do any research before you plunged into all of this??
this isnt even something that skilled mechanics can easily knock off complete and perfect.

but to help you out here is a similar thread.
follow my links in there, and do a search over at 3zc.com

remove and replace into your car.
other way would be too unstable and dangerous, what if the welds broke?

Thanks for the link, that helped out alot! now I know what else I needed, man! I didn't think it was going to be this hard. I'll try I guess.

right hand drive would be sweet though. is it hard to make my car right hadn drive? I've bin thinking of that since I am getting a foront clip too. ;)

Just use duct tape.

I've been considering the RHD conv. as well. It's actually on par w/ my desire to get the swap done, which is another reason to get a clip, just so i can get the RHD pieces. My only concern is wether or not the clip includes every interior piece needed, I guess its just a matter of looking around for the right one. Its not worth trying to do if all you've got is the RHD dash and no center console.

a clip has all the right parts but a rhd conversion would be very difficult because you would have to swap out steering racks and cutting new wholes in the fire wall and everything else. You would have to relocate the power steering pump and lines. It would be nice and maybe a good future project but Quite a pain to do i would imagine.

Plan on delivering mail? lol j/k I think it would be weird driving on the right hand side of the car though.

no kidding. why would you want to spend all that time and money just so you could sit on the other side of the car??? if it means that much, then just buy one from japan, it would probably be cheaper in the long run, and then EVERYTHING on the car is JDM, ooohh aaahhh :rolleyes: . just seems silly to me to spend money that could be going to performance on something like that.

Ive drivern right side drive and;t it's hella better for handeling. cause U old teh wheel witht he rigght hand and U shtft with lefte. and plus everyone stares @ u liek WTF?! :D

what if youre left handed.......

lol........... I'm left handed......... thas why I liek LHD......... I guess. RHD would especially suck on two lane roads when you're trying to pass some big truck. Kind of dangerous imho........... but then again you could just pass 'em on the right.

yeah bin there done that.

sorry i havent been posting pics been very busy let me see if i can get some up. Not very detailed pictures because none of my friends have been able to help so its just been me and my dad working on this so im behind the camera most of the time.

As of now all intercooler piping and electronics are disconected and out of the engine bay i just gotta get a hoist because my other option fell through.

Heres some pics

more pics of my swap

Yep you've got a mess all right. Engine looks clean from the top though. And by the way, why didn't you just take the hood off the donor instead of using the jack?

i dont know thats my dad........he says that thats just more junk we have to find a place to put lol........I dont know.

lol.......... I got a chuckle....... Dad's doin' all the work........ no harm intended, I've just been there. That motor sure does look clean.

Oh no no no canyon we do equal work i just take a sec to snap a few pics every once in a while........The whole left side is my deal while the right is his

yeah U give him teh tight spot. lol hey i dunno maby perhaps if you don;t Mind I mean I will pay for shipping ans stuff btu can I like cand liek borrow your Upper support beam/ braket. cause mine well kinda bent.

Oh boy,...this may go on for a while.

ill have to see i have to make sure none of my stuff is messed up first but ill be sure to get with you

Alright TT engine should be coming out THis friday. We hit a bunch of snags because of missing tools.

Got that all straightened out

Now i got a question. I pulled the ECU out of my Clip today and took a look at it. Its labeled with a Mines plaque and two mines stickers over the seam, Is this the stock ecu because i figured if it was JSPEC Nissan part it would have been NISMO at the most. Someone help me here lol

No. The stock one has a nismo sticker on it, with the code as for the year, transmission ect.ect.
You have a aftermarket ECU or a rebuilt one.
