Today I pulled the motor and tranny out of the clip.. It came with no real problems.. just kinda a pain getting that rear motor mount. I am doing the RHD conversion.. i can see a lot of problems comming my way.. but it will be worth it.. I will post a some pictures as soon as i can find my camera.. There are some big differences in the usdm and jdm models.. I need to order the window switches for the doors cause they will be swapped.. and i need the active aero and cruse control switch panal.. and last thing i will need i think is the botom of the shift boot the plactic part that clips into the floor panel.. any one know where i can order these parts? from NZ or japan.. or wherever? Also i have herd about some exhaust systems that have the option to open and close the downpipe? I have not found any info on this though i looked all over stealth316.com but didnt see anything making me dout.. There is a switch on my clip that has the option of normal or silent?

its called "active exhaust" and its a standard feature on your 92 VR4. simply routes the exhaust gases through one of the two tail pipes, or through both.

I Finaly found my camera!! It's dark outside so its kinda hard to see but this is my car in the garage with about every thing out of it

a little bit closer here i got the fire wall.. as you can see i already removed the AC, heater core, accelerator cable, steering column and the engine wire harness

The view from the inside.. just the wire harness left and the suport beam..

The motor on a the host

jason_bet · #39 10-29-2006, 10:26 PM

Ok i got some more.. i used some MSD wires and some denso iridium plugs..

here is my bag of candy that got me threw the day...

My RHD dash and my downpipe hollow cat.. and some mufflers

The clip is outside so its kinda hard to see

jason_bet · #40 10-29-2006, 10:29 PM

more pictures of the clip

I wanted to get some before i pulled the motor and dash but i couldn't find my camera

the guages are different then my stock ones..

and this is all the stuff from my car

Linebckr49 · #41 10-29-2006, 10:41 PM

nice pics!

question: how did the front clip arrive at your workplace? was it wrapped somehow to protect the interior & dash from the elements? i assume it was on a crate? just curious.

you've got quite a few extra parts you can sell to make some of your money back. allow me to be the first to contribute. i remember there's a new guy here to the 3/S forums on AF and he was looking for a passenger turn signal for his 92 SL.

also, could i have the driver side foglight (LHD, that is, so looking at the car from the front, its the one to your right) ? $40 shipped?

you can also sell those headlights, snake eye lenses, bumper, fenders, hood, some of the fluid reservoirs and various miscellaneous lines in the engine bay. oh, a friend of mine needs a front wiper motor. how much do you want for it?

didn't mean to turn this thread into a "part ur car out" thread. perhaps you could start another thread for those transactions...if you like. just trying to help you out. keep the pics rolling!

Yeah it was shipped on a rather large pallet.. it was a odd shaped one... and hard to get off the truck.. it had a lot of plastic rap around it to protect every thing.. and there where some added parts he through in there under the dash and under the shrink rap.. like the srs air bad box and some other little clips.. I still need the bottom of the shift boot for the RHD cars.. and the window switch's for each of the doors cause there swaped.. i also need the cruse control/active aero switch panal.. oh oh and the ebreak asembly.. but I think that I have every thing else that i need.. The only other weird thing is that i have not found the side mirrors ajustment panal.. the jdm one is not in the same place as the usdm one.. so not sure what i plan to do about that yet.. anyways i will get some better pictures as i put this back togeather... Yeah i will sell a bunch of stuff after i am done.. i just want to make sure every thing works before i sell off everything.. but i will save that fog for you asuming my works fine still

damn man. looks like one hell of a project! never realized that the JDM center gauges were different from ours...and what kind of mufflers and DP are those if you dont mind me asking?

anyways, good luck with the build!
