OK 1997 Kouki LSX swap - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Gjohnson7 · 04-21-2011, 09:48 PM

Ok, well as much as I don't want to I'm really thinking about parting with my project again. I love this car and it's a ton of fun, but using this beast as my daily driver just isn't practical with my 3 kids. Agian, no lowballs. I"m still just considering parting with her, I would really love to complete this project.
Bodywork and paint was just completed in Decemeber, but we had an issue sparying the metalic paint so the car could use a repaint. Also, she's never seen a dyno but she should be putting down around 350 to 375 hp.

Would consider trading for 4 door cars. ie: STI or A4

Email: [email protected]

Location: Broken Arrow, OK
Price: $12,500
Title: The car has a Clear, Green Oklahoma title although I do see on the title that there was some sort of loss on the vehicle around 1998.

2005 L33 with 58k miles (all aluminum 5.3L with LS6 heads. Flat top pistons and higher compression)
2001 T56 (6 speed) Rebuilt 4500 miles ago from salvage yard

2001 LS1 intake

Sorry, man. I've don't need another SUV and I've never been a PT Cruiser fan.

None. I'm very anal about leaks and such, and there's nothing. I park the car in my garage every night and the garage floor is always clean. Also, I just swaped in a 180 degree thermostat about 2 weeks ago and added new coolant as well as a fresh oil change the same day.

Rookie84 · 07-13-2011, 07:11 PM

Does everything work like it came from factory? Cold AC? Power Steering? Do all factories gauges work and read properly? From your ad, you wrote there are still some things to be completed. What are they?

Did you use a swap kit for this or is everything custom?

killerGSR · 07-13-2011, 08:01 PM

want a e34 m5?

The things I need to complete are the things I listed.

I still have a few things to complete.
Have Z32 calipers to put on the car.
Coilovers or springs
Repaint

Yes, everything works like factory except cruise control and the variable speed control for the windsheild wipers.(windsheild wiper issue is because I dissconnected 1 too many wires from the F3 plug and have been to busy to figure out which wire is missing and reconnected it.) I have high and low speed wipers and I'm satisfied.

Ac blows extremly cold. All stock gauges work, but coolant temp. I have aftermarket oil pressure and coolant temp gauges, so it's not a big deal. Powersteering works great. Tires will need replacing soon.

Everything for the swap was custom.

I don't know much about the E34 M5, shoot me some pics and info and I'll do a little research. Can't get into another car that will need a lot of matinence though.
