Hey, after much ado I am ready to do my swap (see signiture). However, before I do this I am going to run by the junk yard (a nissan only jy) to pick up some parts. In the process I was going to offer my

engine (w/ac, 160k, runs strong)transmission (manual)harness (with some cuts)

in exchange for parts. I'm looking forward to the haggling, but I'd like some opinions before I go in. First, do you think I can get the list below for what I am offering, or am I going too far. The only thing that really concerns me is the LSD, but I don't think it will be an issue. I know I'll need other parts for the LSD swap, but he doesn't have Infinity's there.

Second, anything else I should pick up while I'm there? I feel like I'm forgetting something.

P/S Lines from 91-94A/C from 91-94Front Bumper from 91-94 (can't stand the pig nose on mine)Z32 MAF (I'll eventually need one of these)LSD (from 240sx or 300ZX NA)

Not sure why this was moved, but no matter. Thanks for the advice guys. I was having a hard time putting numbers on everything, so your reply helped quiksilvia. Looks like I'm going to have to work on my negotiation skills if I'm going to get that list though. Thanks!

sell the stuff you have an take that money to buy the parts your looking for, junkyards will never give you a good deal.

Yeah hes right about the junkyards, try to sell the stuff on this forum. Did you read the post on the lsd swap? The info favors the j30 lsd for turbo cars. I think the extra 4% ratio would help if you are swapping with a turbo engine.
