    I don't understand??

    repenttokyo: I'm not going to go into detail about this to incrimate myself, but the car is my friends and he wants to get rid of it, I'm helping him out

    LS1 would be retardly expensive on gas. At this point however I would have the RB and all the parts to go with it, like the computer, harness and all the other stuff. I'd have modify the cluster since it's the shape is different and it goes to 320km/h.

    In either case it would be a difficult swap. However, wouldn't it be easier to have a complete parts car to do the swap with, (that I know is in good running condition) versus finding a LS1 out of a smashed car?

    You will when you're older, assuming you get there.

    the rb will have the same gas mileage as the ls1. but the RB is no better or worse in terms of install, I don't think.

    Are you seriously talking about using a motor from a stolen car? You realize that is a federal offense, right? And uh, grinding serial numbers off is not a "oh thats cool" thing - wow dude you sound ridiculous (and clueless).

    I didn't reall choose bmw as my first car but it was handed to me and I learned a lot about it and started to like the suspension, handling, and the dirty looks people would give me when i would pass them in wagon over 200.

    Wouldn't an LS1 be extremely expensive on gas and the engine itself.
    this is the best post i have ever seen on any forum ever.

    dude what difference does it make with all the fines you're going to get?

    Jeez, I know of what I speak in terms of getting the parts. FYI, not grinding the serial numbers would be even more ridiculous.

    All I simply wanted to know was how hard the install would be.

    Then why even mention a Skyline that's "going to 'disappear'" and grinding off serial numbers? Oh, I know, it's because you're enough of a stupid young prat to think it's "kewl", and even worse, to think we'd actually be impressed.

    Idiot.
