I bought a S13 front clip.

$2100 from G-Dimension in City of Industry, CA. Valve cover has some chips in the paint, and it's a little dirty, but so far so good. Nothing is missing.

Has about 106,000 km on it (cluster).

I'm salvaging the brake and clutch pedals for the 5spd conversion on my Zenki. The JDM pedal assemblies are the same as the USDM, right ?

I think the pedal spacing is a little different but should worke all the same. Congrats on the big buy! kill price too

The clutch master cylinder should work also then, right ?

This clip is from a HICAS 180, so the power steering reservoir has 2 pressure lines. I'm assuming niether of the lines can be salvaged, since the rack is opposite of our cars. But could I use the reservoir ? Just cap one of the fittings, or would it blast it off of there eventually ?

I need to make a junk yard run for a driveshaft and interior trim junk, so I could get anything I can't use off the clip.

The clutch master cylinder off the JDM car will work on USDM cars. The brake pedal assembly will not fit a USDM car. The clutch should work however. The resevoir shouldnt undergo too much pressure but I would make sure it is very securely capped off. Otherwise you may get some leaks.

Id just use the SOHC resevoir. IIRC two of the three bolts line up on the (driver side) strut tower. Also if you go to a junk yard it would be wise to get the USDM manual brake pedal and clutch hardline that runs between the clutch master cylinder and damper box.

Suprisingly you actually can use a RHD power steering high pressure line but it has the be bent just right and would look something like this.

RHD high pressure line rebent to fit a LHD car on the left.

Regulat LHD high pressure line on the right.

Congrats on the buy. Let me know when you get it up and running, I remember how excited I was when I got my S14 front clip.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU COULD BUY A REDTOP CLIP FOR $2,100!! THATS NUTS!!

Thanks for the heads up on the brake pedal. I'll just add that to my junk yard list. And I think I'll just grab a PS line off a junk car, rather than bend the RHD line.

Here's some updated pics.

I pulled the motor today. (me on the right, my dad on the left)

My dad came up with a good idea. We mounted the subframe to a roller cart, then bolted the motor to the cart.

Close up of how it bolted together.
