Full sikky kit. Overall its a really nice kit and everything fits pretty damn good. Only major complaint is with the headers. The fitment is great but for whatever reason the headers point directly at the transmission and crossmember which is not convienent at all when it comes time to fab up an exhaust. Hard to tell from my pic but they do maybe sikky would like to shed some light on why they went this route, there was no reason they couldnt aim them straight back like other headers in the market. Maybe they had plans for an x pipe idk. Also quality doesnt seem that high for the price theyve literally already started rusting and ive driven my car once. not cool for 650$$ i know they offer a more exspensive coated version but i would have liked to seen a stainless steel option and maybe better merge collectors i almost debated buying aftermarket 4 to 1 collectors and welding them on. The oil pan and mounts are such high quality id just expect more from them and if they offered it i would have payed. Moving on!

Wiring was much easier than expected i bought a relay/fuse box kit from current performance Wiring Accessories, kits, and components by Current Peformance Wiring (http://www.currentperformance.com/Accessories/wiring_acc.html)
This was designed for use with ls1/lt1 engines all the wires are color coded oem gm colors and fully labeled with directions. Usuing this allowed me to completely delete both factory nissan fuse/relay boxes under the hood. If you buy this you can literally cut out everything from your stock chasis harness except headlights turnsignal and wipers. i deleted probably 10-15lbs of wiring/fuse boxes between the nissan chasis harness and the ls1 engine harness. Also comes setup with relays for fans and ac and when you turn ac on its wired to auto kick on your second fan relay, which is pretty cool.

haha craigslist in seekonk mass. Hell of a deal i was able to sell the rolling chasis and the aftermarket headers and random other shit on the car to make back some money. think i got this whole swap for 3000-3200 after i made money back.

See below for video, way better quality

[lflkajfj12123]

[kaking]

[95s-14]

did you already sell the sr?

[gippy87]

Nope sr is still for sale.
I didn't put an ls in this car to be original but fwiw at a recent 240 meet out of all the 240s from all around new england I was the only ls swapped there ;)

Dam street racers!, dude at least do it in a non residential area! Good job for keeping your license plates on

[zooopreme]

Hey Gippy, what kind of suspension are you running for the car? Can you posts specs please :)

[LS14]

amazing, i'm def jealous of the setup!! i've had several sr's, this is the next swap ;)

i hope you have good neighbors, cuz i can't see them being too fond of you after that late night rip LOL

[240KA]

will hooking up the reverse lights be an issue?

[tricky_ab]

Interesting so far!

your neighbors hate you...


This is what I was thinking!

[Chaw wee]

This is so sick! Props to you sir.

[gippy87]

The reverse light sensor on the tranny was so close to the tjunnel I couldn't plug it in I wasn't aware of how close it was untill after hooking everything up and at that point I said screw it ill just wait till next time I take the engine out to hammer the tunnel in a tiny bit. I'm running tien super drift coilovers. A little harsh for these roads but otherwise good suspension.

[zooopreme]

Nice nice, what size are your wheels? Any roll/pull on the fenders? I can't tell in your pictures

[blueshark123]

wanna make me an exhaust like urs i got sikky headers
