For $112,000 AUD? Hahahahaha

I'm not even a huge fan with what they've done exterior wise

Cool cool swap though

The adventure my gearbox has gone on so far :/.. Efficient! Haha

Ac compressor went on monday, getting looked at tomorrow, going to try and just get it .. To stop clicking, don't want it fixed, put the 'repair' money towards the swap... Puts a new max date for the time frame... Summer 2013/2014 tops! Unless i get a work car (hopefully) lol

GJA003 · 02-10-2013, 03:18 AM

Only thing i liked was the engine. I'll just wait until your done before i decide what to do :P

Me too haha

It would cost abooout $10-$20k more at (depending if you fully build it) than what i plan for the n54 swap, purely because an s65 costs a solid whack more. $10k at a minimum.. Plus the lsd and more expensive gearbox.. And added complexity of install

Most likely just follow you with a N54 but buy a complete stat write off from NSW.

Smart man. A complete rear-ended should cost no more than 8-13k + auction fees and transport.
