Hey Bob, I was trying to search for another site other than ASAP Motors. I have recieved a few engines (some Honda/Nissan/Mazda) from them. I will admit, they have what I want, but they are TERRIBLE in customer service, and I've waited, sometimes, up to 5 weekes to recieve a motor.

I definitley wouldn't recommend them, even though they are in the top of the google search.

I got mine out of Ft. Lauderdale. A place called GTJapanese I believe was their name. Decent engine too although it'd been sitting awhile. Their phone number is 954-822-2323
and the contact lady is named Kaz. Good luck

Wire harness regardless is going to be worthless seeing you need a LHD harness.

Just remove all the emissions equipment and use the N/A harness. I did it and it works fine!

Is there any way that you can make the LHD harness work on a RHD car?

I have to pass emissions, so I can't remove the equipment. Is there a way I could keep all of the emissions equipment intact? Also is the N/A harness plug and play with a TII engine, or would i have to modify it? Also would it matter if i tried to use my s5 N/A harness on an s4 jdm/jspec engine?

Osaka motor's prices look outrageously good. I think I'm going to do more research and look more into them. Does anyone else have experience with Osaka? LovingtheFC3S and everyone else, thanks for the links.

I don't see anything aboubt brand new engines. I see for $1,100+shp you can get a rebuilt block with out any acessories. Osaka is giving you an un-rebuilt Turbo motor with everything on it and the transmission for only $650+shipping.

Most have very poor experience with Osaka. They are out of Canada and have been known to supply engines with cute wire harness, busted parts and sometimes in poor condition. Good experinces are typically highly modified, newer engines. Someone once purchased a SR20det, got a mint one with built cams, injectors and upgraded turbo... My conclusion.. Osaka does a **** job checking their products before shipping them.

Prices make this still tempting though. You'll need to rebuild your Rotary regardless of where you get this.
