If your not going to rebuild the motor just find someone selling their whole swap. ---

Hardest part was the harness, rest is bolt in pretty much. Look into getting the Skyo mount kit, best one out there. Get a R33 crossmember as well. ---

I’ve done a handful of swaps for people that have purchased from Japanstar. All have been pretty clean and ran beautifully. Don’t plan on getting a clean harness though…and make them do a compression test infront of you. ---

they have gotten alot better about harnesses, as long as your know what to look for and you go there in person they are good people to deal with, i have bought many swaps and have done many swaps for customers from them, any problem i have ever had i call them and it is fixed immediately. they get the ok from me. you just have to build your own personal relationship with them, they have never done me wrong and i have always been upfront and frank with them. talk to brian. hes the new sales rep as of when i was there a week ago. good luck! ---
