    My 2.8L E30

    Hi. I've been doing the swap for about a week now. Today is the 7th day, and 3 of the 7 days I haven't touched the car lol.
    I'll update it later. This is the latest picture I have, but now I have the motor sitting in there.

      LoL. It looks better in person, but it's A17 i think which is Le Manns Sunset (350z Orange).

      The entire car is going to be that color soon I hope. gah, the more I look at my motor, the more it's confusing where the wires all go.

        Go to a junk yard and take a butt load of pictures.

              Very nice, the wiring takes time, but clears itself up quickly once you get started. Just start wire by wire and don't look at the whole thing, it gets really overwhelming really quick.

                  So most of my stuff is done. I need to get the exhaust welded still, but thats okay. This project is shy of $3000, and I'm excited to get this bitch on the road and drifting. I started removing the headliner, and well, decided my check panel needed to be moved also.

                  Pictures are above.

                    Hi Viet,
                    nice work!
                    i like what you did to the headers-very nice and clean install sp with the e30m3 wire covers:-)
                    looks good man!
                    BTW: any plan on going FI?

                      Hey Rob, actually I am thinking about it now, but still not sure. Since for now the car is running mechanically awesome I am going to play with the cosmetics and make it look nice first, then toy with going turbo later. I really need to just get used to the power I am putting down for now and then make the leap.

                      But I also want to do suspension and everything too.

                      Update:

                      Toyed with my car today, added my fog lights into my high beams such as some e36's have DRL's. I'll post more pictures up tomorrow.
