Racinghard.com.....
recently, i have become interested in putting a ca1.8det in my 240sx convertible, and at the same time doing a five speed swap
but anyway, racinghard.com says 1550USD for cadet shipped to my door, says not front clip, but includes intercooler and basically everysingle thing neded for the swap, is it a good price i dunno much about ca18det engines, as i always wanted either a rb25 or a sr20det, i never thought the ca18det was up to par, but i thik it would be nice to have in my little cruiser until i find a nice cheap fastback to buy.
is this a good price? anywhere cheaper?
would you buy from here, am i going to get ripped off, has anyone ever bought from here,

I wouldn't buy anything from these guys.They're too new and located in Malaysia.They buy their shit wholesale from FLASHOPTIONS which is also shit.

www.neishlinmotors.com is a good place to look and is located in south cali somewhere...they dont have an CAs right now, but maybe next week or something they will...CAs are in a fairly small demand so it can be hard to get ahold of them...remember Nissan NX2000 (1989 I believe) parts will work for many of it's commonly replaced components...
www.mckinneymotorsports.com is also a fairly good place I believe...Santee, CA...I think they just do swaps, but you might be able to purchase a clip or motor from them

they are actually charging you a little too much, if you don't know you can pick up ca18's for around $800+shipping. but coming from jspec i would trust them.
