I was so excited when I ordered my engine the about three weeks ago, but I haven't heard anything since then. I was finally able to get a hold of them today and as it turns out they don't have an engine for me. Apparently there was damage on the two they had in stock. They are sending my money back now after three weeks of waiting.

I guess I should be glad I didn't wind up with a beat-up engine, but it's still disappointing. BTW it was jdm.net (Import Motorsports/Salvage Auto). I'll probably wind up getting another KA and a good clutch instead Some other time I guess.

Take that money and order one from jhot or jarco. Same price, quality stuff.

Yeah, I checked Jhot beforehand. The CAs were all out of stock for a full month and they quoted 1500 + shipping. I'm running out of time before I move out too.

My buddy got few of them instock, he is asking 1200USD including shipping to any where in the USA, but it doesn't include a harness, ignitor, maf or resistor pack, a bit pricy, but if you want one, let me know, I can go get it tested for you (2 hours away).

That's very tempting, but if it's not all together there's no way I'll get it finished before I move out. Thanks for the offer though.

I should have everything you would need to complete that swap available next week. The wiring is already done and looks factory. It should be plug-n-play. Email me HERE

Sorry about that but there's one on ebaymotors,899 but I don't know if you will end up with quality for that price. I would go with float since he's got the plug and play setup. Make sure he has everything you want ps pump, ac,etc. so you don't have to search for parts later.

That was a bad post guys. I meant that I had all of the wiring stuff you would need to complete the swap that Pulsar GTR has available.

Ah, that's cool. I'll still bite. How much do you want for the missing parts, float?
