    One of the reasons i'm manual swapping my 92' ls400 over in the Uk was stumbling across these videos a few months back and wondering what happened to the car. Nice to see its still being used and you're keeping it! Did you guys ever change up the clutch pedal location inside the car so it lined up a little better than the install video?

    Hey great video! Nice to see the LS on the road. Sad to see you’re selling it. Starting on my KA24 into a SC400 now. These videos are great motivation.

    Nice, I used the collins kit to swap my sc400. sr trans with a ka bellhousing, custom driveshaft. Clutch is a modified toyota 4 runner flywheel, mr2 turbo pressure plate, nissan 240sx disk and throwout bearing with extended sleeve. Pedal feel on that setup is not stiff at all, been my daily for a few years now.

    If the engine is stock it should be fine. If you push it hard at drift events though I don't think it will last at those operating temps.
    I like the conversion though. I am thinking of doing it to my Ls400 here in Australia.

      I have a 2000 LS, my mother has a 93 LS and both have the same gauge issues. But if you give the dash a good slap above the gauge cluster the tach and speedo should pop back on and continue to work from there on. That’s been effective for me.
      Give it a shot.

    • @4HUNNIDZ

      @@eddiethetruhead if it works it works 😂 just not long term. if the cluster goes you can swap out with a junkyard cluster for about 100 bucks , ebay is 300 bucks. but it’s recommended you get all new capacitors on the cluster you swap in . Or else you’re going to have the same issue again . When you smack the dash essentially what you’re doing is a jolt to the old capacitors which gets them to work again temporarily. but in the end they need replacing. I rebuild clusters on the cheap if you’d ever need the service .
