S13 Swap - Chicago?

[jdmsilvia240sx]

Would there be anyone out there in the Chicagoland area interested in doing an SR swap in an S13? I have a clip on order and I have to pick it up June 8th, so it would be pretty soon. I don't have much money to give out so this would be something maybe we can make a big project amongst a bunch of us on the forum.

white240, when are you planning to do your swap? I am doing my sometime around June 8th, or at least that is when I pick up the clip. Have you ever done the swap before? slw240sx, what is up with your car? Are you having some problems or what? 5 or 6 hours would be a long ride. I might possibly have a place to do a swap, but not for sure. Have you ever done the swap and how long did it take you? Thanks for your guy's response.

well i havent done a sr swap ,but i did my Ca swap on my own. pretty much the same ! it took us 12hrs to do with never doin this type of swap before. i had a slew of problemns most due to a bad install in the previous car by a tuner shop! but now that we have everything fixed, replaced, and adjusted the car is running great ! soon come some more upgrading !

Yeah, I know David. He and another friend wanted to do my swap, but they wanted like a grand to do it. Originally, it was supposed to be my friend Eric, who has done the swap twice in his own car, but then somehow David came into the picture and they decided they wanted $1000. The problem is that I don't have that kinda money to throw around especially since it was supposed to be damn near free in the first place. Had I known that this was gonna happen, I might not have went ahead and ordered the clip. Thanks anyways bro.

David is so far a good guy,i can only hope what he says will come through.I am going to attempt to do the swap on my own,when i first met him he said he can have my clip in a week ifi wanted,well that was april 14th,but i am of the same sort of business he is in and i understand how sh1t can happen.Im trying my best to be patient and make this as bullet proof as possible.the thingi dont want is an unreliable sr20.i want to do as much as i can spend on my engine when it is out.

Hey where are you in Bolingbrook. I'm down in Romeovile, so I'm not far away. I also just put an SR in my Silvia. Should be running on all cylinders soon

[jdmsilvia240sx]

We should meet up. I live near route 53 and 83rd street. Where abouts are you. I caught your post on my other thread about the steering pump. Instead of calling each other we could just meet up. If you want to drop by today, feel free. I'll be pulling the radio out of my car and putting it into my buddy's. Give me a call.
