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!

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.
