It isn't worth the trouble, Miles' gauge still doesn't work correctly (reversed). I spent the extra coin on the programmable Auto Meter fuel level gauge. After buying the regular gauge from a third party dealer, then sending it to Auto Meter, paying them to do the work, and it still isn't working correctly, I doubt Miles will agree it was worth it either.

Sorry for the delay guys, we have been SLAMMED during what normally is out 'slow season'. We just rented another shop behind ours and just picked up two more car lifts this morning. So hopefully I can get the final finishing touches on the passenger side header the last week of the month.

I have had a few made in the past. Usually speedometer shops can do it, but alot of oil field type supply shops can custom built anything you on demand.

We build custom LS series motors down here in Bakersfield. If you are up for a drive, PM me.

I remove all factory fuel lines and re-plumb with 3/8" feed and 5/16" return (if needed).

http://www.jegs.com/i/GM+Performance/809/19212593/10002/-1 Its a great deal for what is included and it will fit in the S30, however the oil pan sump will hang below the engine crossmember a decent amount. Unless you buy an aftermarket custom oil pan, you are limited to the '98-'02 F-Body oil pan or the '05-'07 LS2 Y-Body (Corvette) oil pan PERIOD. Trust my experience when I say that I have done MANY of these swaps to know what works and what is available. BTW, the oil pan being sold is/was a factory GM pan used in the H3 with the 5.3 V8. GM sells the oil pan kit cheaper than buying the H3 oil pan alone, go figure. No wonder they needed a 'bailout'....

The driver side goes in with the engine installed from the bottom with just the steering coupler unbolted. The passenger side is giving me problems in order to install with the engine already installed.

$800 is way too much IMO for a 5.3 missing things. I can get complete turnkey 5.3's with all accessories, harness, PCM, sensors, MAF, etc for less than $600. Even with freight, its a better way to go. The drive by wire or DBW is super easy to deal with. Too many folks raise a stink because they are scared of it or something. Keep the factory EFI. You won't save a dime going with a carb after buying a carb and the correct intake manifold and ignition box. The T-56 is also a great trans for your goals. Yes, a World-Class T-5 will also work, but its a much weaker trans and really wouldnt save alot of coin.

Where are you located (city/state)? The '05-'06 GTO LS2/T-56 is a decent engine/trans, however you will have to change the alternator bracket to a '98-'02 F-Body. You will also have to change out the GTO LS2's oil pan, oil pickup, and windage tray from a '98-'02 F-Body or '05-'07 LS2 Y-Body (Corvette). Depending on how much you can get the dropout setup for it still might be worth it. Generally in my experence, the truck engines are much more cost effective dollar for dollar (see this post for more detail: http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/92580-down-on-truck-engines/ ). The LSx mounting kit from JCI (www.BrokenKitty.com) is the only way to fly IMO. There are two shorty header options available, however I am developing a set of a long tube headers for production as we speak ( http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/95480-who-is-genuinely-interested-in-buying-lsx-long-tube-headers-for-s30s/ ). Most will agree here on Hybridz that I know my stuff, albeit sometimes a little direct. I have done more than a few LSx swaps (25+), including a few S30's. I am usually pretty up to date on things and happy to help. Feel free to PM any questions you have that might not need an entire thread started to answer. Take care.

No offense, but I am not going to pay $45 for a used item that I can get for $50 BRAND NEW on eBay from a Nissan Dealership. Thanks anyway.

Ran out of bends for the passenger side. Waiting on replacements.

918's are good well into the upper 230's. No worries.

www.CalSpeedPerformance.com We will meet or beat any price. I am still working on the site, but if you know what you want, we can get it. Plus our shipping rates are very reasonable to the land down under.

I have the Lunati Voodoo 60511 cam (.567/.567" lift, 222/228 duration@0.050" on a 113 LSA) in my LSx along with GM ' yellow' valve springs and Comp Cams 7.400" pushrods. IMHO, if you are going to go through all the trouble of doing a cam swap (especially if the engine is already installed), better to make it worth it with larger cam making decent power gains over the stock cam or LS6 cam. So unless you got the LS6 cam for free, its not worth your time and money for the min HP/TQ gains to do the swap.

Still looking....

$25 shipped? From a '75-'78? PayPal address? Naw, would rather you ship it if its what I need, thx anyway though.

No plans to ever make anything but 1 3/4" primaries.... Sorry.

I have a '75 280z, I believe the 280z version was different from the earlier 240z version, but I could be mistaken. Needs to be in working order and runable as is. Price with shipping to a business address in Bakersfield, Ca 93308 would be great. Thanks guys!!

Updates? I am interested to see what you did for the downpipe....

Do you have any pics of under the car where the turbo downpipe routes? Thanks!!

Work has been slamming me and havent got far on the passenger side header. Tomorrow it is the first thing I have planned.

Working on a set of long tubes as we speak. Check it out and let me know if you are still interested.... http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/95480-who-is-genuinely-interested-in-buying-lsx-long-tube-headers-for-s30s/

Okay guys, the driver side fits. Still need to attach the collector, but it gives you an idea, especially compared to the driver's side JTR/Sanderson header. I figured the driver's side would be the hardest due to the steering shaft. Gotta get some other work done and then I'll get started on the passenger side. Sorry for the poor pic, digital camera is broken...

Actually I did know that , that's why I didn't bother posting which side I needed. Thanks anyway though!! Sweet. PayPal?

If you have an angle drill its easy. That's how I did mine and it was easy. Remember, we have the same car(s) so if I can do it with the engine installed, you can too.
