[famguy]

I like this! Funny swap you've done.

I also think your bronze painted porsche's fits the red paint nicely. Rare but cool combo.

Nice man, you got that swap done pretty damn fast.

Thanks dude, definitely didn't waste much time, but still have some work to do to get it where I want it to be. Want to roll around h2o with no hood this year, but gotta make sure its pretty to do that :P

Unfortunately I had some problems with the car this past week, anddd alot of fun

Drove it the whole week boosting quite a bit, but unfortunately the clutch fork pivot broke. So friday night I dropped the trans, replaced the pivot ball and retaining clips, and put it all back together.

Unfortunately that meant no progress on exhaust and cleaning up the bay, but I'm hoping to get that done this week. Hopefully finally get some update pictures.

Lookin' good! I'm curious to hear a slightly less distorted sound bite, but that sounds pretty good so far. Great build mate.

A good video will come soon, going to fit the exhaust this week, so hopefully have some better pictures and video around the weekend.

Nice ride. That's why I love e30s.

That's funny, zinnoberrot is growing on me, but i'll see what happens.

Mine is zinno toooo! How the hell did I miss this build? So close to me too. You will have some PMs come springtime.

Awesome stuff man, I've been slowly gathering parts for my SR swap for the last 4 months or so, glad to see someone else that's tackled the job... What'd you do for brake booster/master clearance on the exhaust manifold and stuff?

I want to try and make the e30 master/booster setup work, since I'll be running a tubular manifold and stainless turbo elbow, i'm hoping to get more room from that. But I know for sure that a skyline r32 booster and RHD master will work. I already have the master, but still trying to get a hold of the booster.

Tell me about it.....when I did my five speed swap in my SC400(4.0GT Soarer) some parts came from Australia, some from California, some from Lexus factory in Texas and others from members on other car forums from different states.....the swap itself was about 4/10 difficulty but waiting for the parts was a 10/10 annoying....lol.

Edit: I was deployed last year when I ordered all those parts so accounting for tracking was the hardest part.

That sucks man, well I guess it pays off in the end, waiting for the parts is the absolute worst, especially with the motor already in the car and running, but needing so many little things.

We're afflicted with the same disease I **** red cars too and yet my past 3 cars have been red. I went so far as to wrap my last one in white vinyl to cope with it. For some reason I really like Brilliantrot though.


I'm excited to see this engine swap. Any swap that helps with clearance kicks ass

That's funny, zinnoberrot is growing on me, but i'll see what happens.

Definitely stoked to get more clearance, more loww!!!
