Im going to start my vh swap into a s14, just trying to source out a few parts. Ive read a lot of posts about people putting them in but my question is to the guys who have done it....

Did you have any problems fitting the motor into the car, like having to cut anything to make it fit? What was the most difficult parts. I work at a tire shop but they wont let me work on my car there so I have to do it at home

I moved this to the VH45 forum, you'll have a lot better luck in there.

Spend some time reading around, there's some pretty comprehensive threads in here about the particulars of this swap.

Depends on the kit you use and whether you're doing the wiring yourself and how straight your chasis is. I'm in Newport News, Va and have just cleared the dust off my VH45 and S14 to give it another go. Nothing is in or running yet but if you're interested in sharing info or have any questions give me a shout on my email, [email protected]. I'm not building a street car, just a bare bones car for track days.
