As stated lm looking for the above cars as a swap project. Cars must be a manual tranny and i dont need the engine to be running i have a swap ready and waiting. Just dont like auto - manual conversions, pain in the A\*\*.

Body must be decent and frame must be as good as can be.  
Interior would like it to be intact and pretty decent.  
Susopension must be good even though im upgrading i dont want a major pain.  
Paint would like it to be not bad with minimal rust and fade. i will paint ti but for now power is everything.

Let me know what you have im open to anything. Im also located in Calgary and may 29 coming down to edmonton.

Price: under 5 g’s

Thanks and any help is appreciated.

Brad

Not an S13 but it would make a cool project, and is pretty quick as it is. Handling is also supposed to be on par with an S13.

I know someone with a rhd 5spd pedalset from a clip that can be used as you probably have a tranny for that swap you are going to do … otherwise 5g is going to be tough to find you a rhd silvia/180sx

if you are already doing an engine/tranny/wiring transplant into a car a pedal and console swap will not be a problem especially since 240sx parts are easy to source

if your looking at a skyline and your wanting to spend 5 g’s expect to have at least 7k ready for the mishaps that happen along the way…parts are far from cheap and they are not a very consumer friendly car. They compare to a 300zx tt in terms of the money pit factor.

Ya i kinda forgot to say that, 5g’s is pretty low i just wasnt thinking of editing that when i posted. just looking for a skyline no price tag associated with it and if i can find a cheap 240 ill do a big engine swap. if not ill mod the RB or a CA18 just keeping my fingers crossed and wallet open waiting for a decent car. thanks for all the help though
