Help from the swappers Hey guys and gals. I’m doing a little research and would like your help. I am looking for ways to help the LSX swap community and value your feedback.
What was was the most difficult thing about sourcing parts for your swap?
Thanks in advance

Parts themselves aren't difficult to get. All depends on how knowledgable you are, wether it being wiring or fabrication..
for me, I'm not the most knowledgeable on wiring, I hate it really. So hardest part for me was getting OEM clusters to work.
I did a bmw e46 and got all the gauges to work by trial and error since I had to go through the CanBus.
Also did a 300zx, and same thing, got the cluster working eventually using the dakota digital tach and speedo boxes but their wasn't much info on it, especially since many people just go aftermarket.
