ls1 s13 240sx completed

becuase of the g forces the oil actualy moves away from, and stays away from the pickup tube, the extra quart fixes the issue. you dont have to worry about the crank foaming the oil becuase it has a windage tray and some baffaling between the pan and crank

im not to shure were its coming from . i dont recall any 0 rings ? i had the gm line spliced and had a hose shop make it for me ..
gm at the resivour -------------- 240sx fitting to go into rack
drift suspension
kts coilovers
largus sway bars ( only rear right now front dont fit b/c of the oil pan )
solid subframe mounts
spl tie rods
nismo power brace
full adjustable control arms
pritty much drifting suspension
i do have plans .. but no to shure on what to go with . i DONT whant more power . 324whp is enough to drift . so no cam . im gonna just do valve train stuff to help with the revs and holding wot for long periods of time
ls6 ported pump is already in
springs
retainers
lifters
pushrods
maybe rocker arms

You probably have a cracked resevoir. People tend to force hoses on there and put a hair line fracture on it. Clean it off and look at the resv. itself. That extra quart helps!
everyone plans to do this swap now lol. the wiring is easy. at first it made no sense to me but after someone hit me over the head with a brick and made me realize the obvious its a peice of cake.

dont let the wiring scare you. its easy. i didnt think i could do it but after looking at it i knew it wasnt nothing. i have never done a swap before so i cant say for sure but the ls1 in a 240sx has to be one of the easiest to wire up. i cant imagine it getting no easier. as far as drivable wiring. its the little stuff that gets you like reverse light. which i dont have.
lol reverse lights shouldnt be a huge deal. just wire it into the s chassis harness. splice plugs if you have to and make a more natural look.
btw ive been meaning to get at you about how you got your turn signals and all that harness intergrated jazz to work...

Turn signals shouldn't go out as long as the hazard light button is plugged in. The only thing integrated in the engine harness on an S14 is the wipers...everything else should still function just fine except of course the gauges and reverse lights.
