I call second dibs

That sucks tremendously. This is exactly why I can't stand cars without real oil pressure and temperature gauges. You should only need a short-block, but the problem there is finding someone that'll just sell that. Is the cylinder being seized the only issue? If the block is intact with no other damage I'd say bore it over and rebuild it.

[Box]

Had an idea, you might consider finding a 5S short-block and making a 5S-GTE. I think you'll need the '98+ 5S though to work with the third gen 3S. Anyhow, I'm sure something can be done short of replacing the entire engine.

That's a shame.
If I can figure out how to get it to the US I'd give you $3000 for it right now.

Am I the only one here that's not a vulture?

Just figured out that i need to do work to my projectors to make them work correctly, dumb on my part, i thought they were plug and play, so happy searching for me

[Box]

They're plug and play if you get them out of a LHD European car. I think there's a thread in the exterior FAQ section about doing the cutoff modification.

I found some write ups, mine are straight off the boat from Japan from my contact

[The_enD]

Тhey were sold only in Japan AFAIK, so yeah. Ordered a HID for mine, still have to mod them to LHD.

'96 was the first year for projectors and the last year for the LHD GT-Four. Someone on here is in a LHD European country and has a GT-Four and I remember asking about them. In any instance I suppose they'd be incredibly hard to come across.

Modding projectors to LHD takes like 2 hours with the boiling method, just did mine today. Don't leave them in the pot of water to long or you might cause the chrome plating on the shroud to come off. Pull them out every minute and put guitar picks in between the glass and the housing until you're all the way around. No chance of breaking the glass like that

I could never convince myself to open them up and mess with them, especially for what they cost. The stock optics are actually pretty good, so I never felt the need to spend that kind of money anyhow. You only see them when you're outside of the car anyway.

But knowing that you've got JDM projectors, priceless

On another note, I bought that genesis coupe duckbill spoiler and modded it to fit my hatch. It was relatively easy haha

Ahh, good to hear. Should throw up a pic or two.

Still waiting for my roll of vinyl to come LOL, I ordered in january, something happened inbetween vvivid sending it and the shipping company they use from getting it, so I'm waiting for them to ship a roll my way. So the paint aint very good since its spray canned haha

Im thinking about just buying a few gallons of matte white plastidip and pearlizer and spraying it myself lol

[ClevelandGaint]

Yeah i dont mind opening them, its just like how i used to robo mod every persons 3000gt lights. i found the harness pigtails and just going at it that way. And i didnt pay as nearly as much as what they go. Good to have friends

[Box]

Just take a picture far enough away you don't notice.

The best part of the 3000GT was the paint and the headlights, that's all the nice things I have to say.

Great idea! turned my projectors black because I didn't like the chrome. It's only matte black Plastidip though, so it'll peel right off hopefully not with the chrome though lol I tested a small patch and it was fine. I also put some halos in them as well here's a pic of the projectors with matte black shrouds and 7500-8000k Halos :

Post some pics once on the car, I like it, wonder how it will look.

[azian_advanced]

My car died.

this is just what you need, then part-out the old car.
