97 GLE 3.5 and 5-speed swap F/S

New tranny installed price is back to normal 4400 with the jwt ecu 3900 without . Open to trades.

My car is a 97 GLE with leather, sunroof, heated seats and abs. Just pass PA inspection 11/6/09 with flying colors no codes no hookup needed. There is 181,000 on the body but around 97k on the motor, mileage, tranny just installed 10/4/09 and 6k on the clutch.

Mods:
3.5 swap with 3.0 upper pan and sensors
5-speed swap
I30 rear seats
ac outlet under the seat
7inch screen in the dash wired for a ps2
jvc face off
polished ssim intake
polished front timing cover
shorty headers
y-pipe
full header back SS 2.5inch exhaust
qtp 2.5inch cutout and magna flow hi-flow cat
stephen max PFTB adapter
PFTB
NWP Head to UIM spacer
UIM with the injector bumps grounded smooth
full 3inch cai
18x8.5inch rims
s-techs
kybs up front and 5way adjustable rears
stillen front lip
aero afpr
koyo rad
act 6puck clutch with a hd psi plate
all mount have been poly filled
stillen front lip
brand new battery installed 9/21/09

I also have ES control arm bushings and 5.5gen front brake calipers, rotors and pads but not currently installed. The car current has a tear in the drivers seat, rust spot in the hood and worn control arm bushings no rear bumper support or exhuast heat shields.

Just remember while responding to a pm, I tossed the egr system, picked in the sensor and put the probe by the rear header. I do not get a code for it with either my 97 or jwt ecu, I also did not hook up my evap system after the 3.5swap but it will take a few vac line to do so. Now I do get a evap code with the 97 ecu but not with the jwt ecu. I just wanted to let every know since it my cause problems when getting the car inspected

I really do not want to sell it and do not need the money but I want a g35 and do not have the space for a 3rd car. The car is priced cheap already so no lowballers

I do not have any dyno's # but I can spin 1st, 2nd and chirp 3rd with drag radials N/A

here are the most recent pic's I have and a link to me cardomain

I also cut the shifter and have a cai

the swap was not hard just takes time, I prepped the motor and had it sitting for like month before the swap. just take your time and do not rush, but it's easy for me to say cause I have 2 other cars to drive

the whole swap costed about 500.00

because there comes a point were people like to upgrade whether 3.5 or 3.0 thats what people do. I really like my car and do not want to sell it but if I get the g35 I will not have room

I am looking to buy a bigger house this year so maybe that will all change

Holy ****, I'm speechless that THIS car is up for sale, and for $4,500 at that. This max is stupid clean and Thomas is probably one of the most honest & laid back people I've ever met on the .org, good luck with the sale, I'll be telling anyone I can think of about this car.

Just remembered I recently installed NWP Head to UIM spacers and ground down the injector bumps in the UIM

I am pretty sure there are a few more things about the car that will come to me later and I'll update as I remember
