    Found a donor car! 5 speed B18A dual carb 3G

    Cost me US$140, has 94,000 miles on the clock and actually goes really well. Pity, as it will never be driven again :P

    It has all the wiring, brackets and switch for the 85/86 folding fog lights, but the fogs themselves are missing








    Now I just gotta get that gearbox swapped over and i'll have a mint manual 3G Si.

    lol

    it's a pre-facelift so I don't think there is much on it that you guys would want. The corners are amber, no bumper pole or climate controls etc

    So are you going to do a 5-speed swap on yours now? Or the B18 tranny doesn't mount up to the B20?

    yes, b18a tranny mounts to b20a. that's what wohdog was running for the longest. and hey, are you willing to sell the long block. or at least ps + ac and their hardlines that connect to the pumps and the brackets.

    Re: Found a donor car! 5 speed B18A dual carb 3G

    Yep Russiankid I'm gonna put that gearbox in my 3G. It has lower gear ratios than the B20A box so that's all good

    I don't mind selling parts, but any ac parts may be needed to fix my ac and shipping would be a nightmare on the longblock. My plan was just to take the parts I need for the swap, and the fog light wiring/switch/brackets then just have some dismantlers yard come collect the rest.

    I would want less than that for corners lol. Probably 30 + shipping or something.

    yeah, i know shipping would be horrible. but if have money later on in the year and you still have it, i'll give you a shout and see if it'll be doable for a reasonable price.

    Umm good question? I can ask at the local NZ Post store and see what they say. Anyway these corners are the old type and don't look as good as the facelift corners. Tail lights are nice though, I don't like the facelift ones :P

    Re: Found a donor car! 5 speed B18A dual carb 3G

    Ok the rubber around the corners is brittle and falling apart and there is a small part missing in the plastic surround in the right tail light. The motor is a POS B18A with a measely 135HP. It weighs the same as a B20A so I think the best place for that is a junk yard.

    I will have good corners for sale when I get myself a 87-89 grille and corners :P

    It's not OEM i dunno what it's from. Cost would be $1 + shipping lol. But I think you could get something locally for less than the cost of shipping.
