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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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

You have a aftermarket ECU or a rebuilt one.
