Wes' questioned whether they would relist it... well, yes!

Someone should grab this thing and build it up all funky.

If I had a truck and a place to store it, I'd have it here already.

I want those JDM exhaust manifolds IF they fit LHD cars (anyone know?)

That's about 1/2 mile from where I work most of the time, I should call them and see if they'll sell me the manifolds.

Somebody has to get this thing... I might even buy it. I don't know what I would do with it. But, hell, for $280 shipped? Maybe I will buy a motor stand and put the stupid thing in my garage and spend the next 6 months turning it in to a spiffy new engine.

Come one... somebody buy this thing and make a cool project out of it!

We throw them away since they are illegal to use in US [no precats]...........not wanting to get sued 5 years from now when the car ends up in some STATE with real emission inspections.

WE did experiment years ago and left a few on, on company cars during swaps think all those are no longer in service.

The person that changes things that violates EPA emissions is FOREVER LIABLE, no way to escape the potential.

Hey, in the pics on the auction it shows an infiniti badge on the motor. Wouldn't it have a nissan badge if it was a JDM motor. What if this is a bad US spec motor that has already been replaced by a JDM motor. Just asking questions as I have never seen a JDM 4.5 Liter.CheersScott
