Default Noob from VT with a Nissan...

Hey how's it going guys, names Justin.

I figured it'd be a good idea to join the forum since ls1tech keeps popping up in my searchs.

And now for a little background...

I've got 2 cars, ones a Subaru and the other is a 240sx with JDM motor swap that has been nothing but problems for the last year and a half. Solution to that problem is another motor swap. And that brings me here, I've started sourcing out bits and pieces for a LS swap I just want something that's nice and reliable, something I can take on a weekend cruise and not have to worry about anything.

So I look forward to learning more about these motors and also what goes inti the swap!

The Subaru:





and since this picture I have changed out the exhaust for something that fit much better...



The Nissan:

thanks, I actually met a 2nd gen rx7 owner the other day with a ls swap and talked with him for a few minutes the other day. Made me want this swap ever more than before
