Whats up guys, I haven't been here in a while, (so hi) Well I just went to trade in my CL tonight and the fucking nissan dealership wouldn't give me shit for my car (trade in) because of the JDM h22 swap.

Heres my offer. Anyone who wants my h22 can have it as long as I can have your motor and you pay for the labor of swapping out the h22 and putting your f23 into my car. (so you'll have to pay some ca$h, but it's still a free h22) I've had the motor in my car for about 6 months, and it runs strong. (ask cocoa ) Only problem I had was some scratchy noise for a while, and it turned out to be the distributer. Got a new one yesterday. And the AC belt was loose too and it was just replaced. It runs perfect!!.

94 JDM h22 (perfect tranny, no grinds!) (approx 40-45K miles) If you want, you can drive it 1st while its still in my car.

Post any offers up here! Thanks guys, and hello to my old buddies on here!!

Damn...thats a hell of an offer, someone in SoCal should jump on that!

And I cant believe the dealership wants to give you less for a lower mileage, higher power motor. Well..i guess so, since they want everything factory, but still.

Outlaw

Damn, I'd do it with my dad's Accord but it's a 2.2..

Somebody better jump on this!

nippon_wa

does AT matter?? or u need MT only..??

SooDARK

yeah sorry I forgot to mention that it has to be a 5 spd. That would be way to much trouble to switch the tranny.

Thanks for the responses guys! keep em coming! BTW- tis is a limited time offer the car is on ebay, and I'm also going to hit up a few other nissan dealers and hope they don't notice the motor! The damn acura dealer didn't notice, but nissan did

h2o-pr00f

dammit 3.0 shitty auto tranny here ;( good luck w/ that darky ;\

baka_t

Great offer, I'm guessing that your looking for a 350z.

97clguy

If I were in Southern California I'd already be there.

nippon_wa

oh no... i was gonna go there...

SooDARK

good guess

baka_t

Buying new or used? How much are they going for?? Down here, there in the mid 30's.

LCARUCA 97

the h22 is a direct swap for the f22 2.2 accord engine.

cl-baller201

u mean it would fit a '97 2.2 CL MT.?

Blenz

Yes, it will definately fit into the 97 2.2 5 speed CL. Someone really needs to jump on this offer, it would be nice to see another CLer get hooked up like this. I would definately love to swap engines with you Soodark, but I would have to drive all the way from Canada.

sumdumguy

great deal, but I live on the other side of the country

cl-baller201

DAM MAN i live in jrzy

send it to me!

97Acura3.0CL

i live in cali but too bad im a 3.0

klepto

how much do you think labor would be total? i gotta 2.2 and live in norcal

nippon_wa

no KLepTo!!!

jk

97Acura3.0CL

get it klepto

seriously

do it

i would say about 1g no more and if you know the guy it should be a lot less, i kow people that have done swaps for under 600

Outlaw

Yes, I know. I said that because he wanted an f23 engine in exchange and my dad has an f22.

SooDARK

hey guys the reason I said f23 is because my cars a 98. The 2.2 from 97, would not pass smog, because any engine swap must be the same year or newer than your car to pass emmissions in ca. Otherwise it would be no different from the h22. It still wouldn't pass smog.

BTW- would have been cool to hook someone up, but knowone jumped on it in the first few hours so late last night I drove to another nissan dealer and their trade in specialist was gone......and I tricked em into giving me 5 for it, which is still a rape job for me, but better than the 3,500 the other place was gonna give me because they spotted the JDM motor. They don't know about the missing driverside airbag...the missing spare and jack...h22... haha I finally got to fuck a dealership!!...kinda

Got a brand new silverstone (dark silver/grey) 350Z 6 spd. base for 26 grand!!! Put down 10G's plus the 5 they gave me for my CL and the payment is under $300!

The base 350 is such a deal guys! It's got the same motor/tranny, and body, just doesn't have the navi, hid's, 18's, traction control, brembo's, anda few other things. The 350's go from $26 all the way to $42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the base is the fastest cause it's lighter without all the extras. I'll post some pics of it soon!!

Randol

Good job dude!!! Im glad you got what you wanted. Wish I could have gotten that engine of yours.

jamolie

wow, glad you decided to do the upgrade. you gotta post some pics! 26 is an awesome price. how does it run? i couldnt be happier with my sti either. day and night difference huh.

Hey Soodark, you should run me in your 350z, just for good ol sake.

cl-baller201

DAM SOODARK!

so with the 10G's
the 5G's for the CL
THAS ONLY 11G's to pay off

sweet deal!

SooDARK

thanks guys!!! i'll post some pics of it as soon as I get my digi back.

Chris Sure we should run some time...you got n2o now huh?? I'm not gonna be racing much at all besides tracks and dragstrips tho... hopefully

Hehe, yea, just running a lil shot, hehe. I have a leak in my hose though, that sux But you wanna run this weekend? Let me know when it would be good for you, I don't work anymore, so I'm pretty much free. I'll be free untill my car is done, hit me up. What's your phone number again? I lost it. Pm me.....

ju5tchi11in

whoa... wtf ryan...

ok... i think im down.. how hard was it for you to pass smog with the h22 in?

about 1g to do the swap? how soon do you need this done? eek!

let me know ive been away to long i miss this shit.

wait a second... i needed to edit the post. I know you raced it a bunch, im not worried about that, how is the motor, anything going to be needed to be replaced such as piston rings or tranny or anything that is going to be expensive? I dont want to get stuck with a motor that im going to need to throw more money into to just get it to keep working.

If your going to need to trade in the car, changing the current belts and water pump on my current f23 should not be an issue at all. actually doing this swap would not be much more than all that 90-105k maintainance.

thanks in advance ryan

umm reedit...

im a loser....

just read you traded it in already booooooooo im such a loser im going to go cry.

sumdumguy

now some looser at the dealership is gonna get it when they find out. he's probably gonna put it in a DX civic and beat all your asses

Motohip

I'm all for screwing over the dealership, but not telling them about the airbag? That's kinda dangerous.

DigiBox

Congrats on the purchase. When I first started looking at the Z's, I was looking at the performance model. Knowing that I would add wheels and brakes somewhere down the road, I went with the track model. Nissan is sh*tty when it comes to aftermarket parts on cars. Even with the Nismo parts. I didn't really want Navi, but I got it anyways. I've been please with the car, but I miss not having a back seat.

ju5tchi11in

f00k i missed out on a once in a long time thing happening. @#$#$@%#$

grrrr this is what happens when you take a break from a-cl.... never again...

nippon_wa

is there any way u can do it w/ AT(my 2.3)? or how much will it cost?

SooDARK

no man it's a tenzo steering wheel they didn't even notice, cause the tech wasn't there to check the car out. They'll notice once he get there. It's not like I had a missing airbag in a stock steering wheel. That would have been fucked up, if they didn't catch it and sold it to someone.

SooDARK

sorry bud. hey btw how are the kickers???

SooDARK

haha yeah I love the base model... it's lighter=faster And I'm gonna put rims on anyway, so I can handle the 17"s instead of 18"s. The navi and hid's would be cool, but other than that I like mine. The bremblo's suck btw, from what I've heard they wear out 2x as fast ad cost 2x as much to replace. Plus you can't fit alot of sick rims over them. congrats on ur Ztoo man!

Motohip

Oh, it's cool then . I thought it was the stock wheel. I had two people try to sell me cars with obviously no airbags and it pissed me off. Congrats!

SooDARK

I'm still breaking it in bro, gotta get a few K on that motor before I start driving it hard. I haven't really taken it above 4.5 rpms yet The one I testdrove tho....is another story

DigiBox

The brakes are pretty good. I have ran the car on some serious twisty roads and they are just awesome. Anything performance will wear faster than stock. And, if you add any kind of brake kit down the road, you will be limited with wheel choices. There are tons of nice wheels for them though. You can get any volk, maya, hre, racing harts, etc..

The base doesn't have the LSD and the weight difference is 3188 vs. 3225. But, for 26K, it's on heck of a car.

Lets see some pics!
