oh okay so i can just use eibach as a standard toe bolt and only need to elongate the hole for full adjustment?

Hi im looking to buy a new stock toe bolt as mine snapped during alignment. I have seen someone post up a website before stating where to buy it direct but cant find it anymore. I have contacted nissan but i doubt they are the quickest but need it asap. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reply. Yeh I didn't really think of all that information haha but I'm looking to do an engine swap to get roughly 400bhp and torque to start off with. I may track it now and then, maybe a couple of times a year to test the engine :)but mainly just driving to and from work,not really aggressive driving but putting my foot down wheb I feel like it lol guess most people are the same

Hi lads, does anyone know the max bhp and torque you should have before upgrading the brakes? Either better quality discs and pads or a big brake kit? Im not sure what discs and pads i have but lets assume they are pagid. Is there much difference in them and say DBA? Thanks Lewis

hahaha what have a caused here Well how about the 2jz-gte? hahahaha dont start another argument

Thanks for the info mate. Well yes sikky kit was one I was thinking of buying and I heard about bizz making a kit but didn't know when. Also I am in the fabrication and welding game myself so could save money there. I want to try keep as much OEM as possible. Also I have thought about turbo but the engine isn't built for that kind of power even if you forge it I still feel it cab pop anytime but with the ls2 you know youre safe if you stay NA makes no sense. Any engine can go bang... I'm walking proof. Everyone said 350 engine are bullet proof. At least 10 on this forum have died this year. NA or FI can both go pop. Ash' 500hp forged twin turbo will probably have less chance of going bang than your V8... Don't mean to sound harsh, but you need to look at this from all angles #teamtarmac hmm yeh i understand that but a FI 350z has a much bigger chance than a ls2 going bang? Im not saying ls2 wont go bang because like you said any engine can but if your forcing the engine to do more common sense says it lasts less haha so logical idea is get the v8 over a turbo or supercharger? Plus the v8 roar?

To be honest I don't think id track it or if I did maybe once or twice. I'm not a fan of abusing my cars lol

Haha good advice. Well it's got a full Nissan service history so I'm sure non members will get very excited by that lol I've never had a problem in 2 years anyway so I can sell with confidence! Unless someone wants to pay over the odds to fund my build? Haha

Oh ok fair enough. eBay clearly rips people off lol thanks for the help ðŸ‘

Haha everyone has a budget it just from what I've read this company are specialist in L's conversions to a few cars. And surely with a knowledgeable fitters with decent ecu harnesses and that, there shouldnt be many problems as is a NA. I understand things can go wrong with the ls2 but that's just like any engine. It's got to be a much safer route than turboing a NA 350z which wasn't built for FI?

Ouch was really hoping for nearly 3k for them together haha. Thanks for the replies though ðŸ‘

That's exactly what made me decide it may be a better route especially when people have had 10-12k quotes. I was just wondering what sort of software and roots of quality parts are involved

Okay well I have seen a place called topcat racing do tvr ls2 converions for 10k. I understand different car and that but the engine and ecu and harness problems must be the same? I understand there may be more fabrication involved in 350z but so I've read is 1k-2.5k for ecu so where does the 5k come from? I'm a noon with this sorry of stuff and only picking it up from reading diy threads lol

Hi lads sorry to ressurect a thread but I'm looking to do a ls2 at the moment. I see a few people have said 10-12k for a conversion. Does this mean including labor to install? Also what ecu was in that budget and what the budget including custom harnesses? Was it including custom engine mounts or sikky kit? I have PM'd wasso but looking to get as much info from everyone to get an idea of the cost. Also don't want to hassle wasso with a million questions lol. Thanks in advance

Hi lads I'm looking to sell my engine and gearbox. Both have 75k miles on them with a full Nissan service history. Just wondering if any of you would know the sorr of price they go for? I see on eBay engines go for 1.5-1.7k but don't know if they get sold often or if they have full NSH. I see gearbox goes for maybe 1.5k but again, same as above. Thanks in advance

thanks a lot you're all such a helpful and great bunch of lads. I've had 3 threads here and 2 got answers almost immediately!

Hi lads I'm looking to get these fitted on the rear to sort out the toe,just wondering if anyone has had them fitted just to find out a rough price. I know you have to slot a hole for them but I don't have any of the equipment or tools needed. could anyone help and advise of a decent place round by Heathrow? Thanks

Oh very nice. i do like the finish on them aswell! What size lips did you go for?

Love the Lxz's was sorely tempted when i got my wheels to go for them oo what wheels did you go for instead?

Haha thanks i know a few of you hate VIP but i love them style of wheels

Marmite?

Hi im looking for a pair of used nismo skirts. I know i can buy from various places new but just hoping to get a good fitting bargain

Haha no point refurbishing for a stock colour! Got to have something different

thanks for replies. Yeh i suppose i could split myself but i heard its a bitch to bolt back together with sealent! They only seem to charge £40 odd to split and build. Well they are pretty good condition just a slight pitting all over. Im just looking to get lip to a polished finish with a white pearl over blue finish to the centres or maybe a candy colour Im guessing £650 is the going rate for 3 piece?
