240sx FAQ: READ BEFORE POSTING, NEWBIE!!!

[Dorikin]

Wel, assuming you take your car to a dealer, they wouldnt know about it.

Parts may also take a long time to come assuming you order them.

Is it just be or do you argue with EVERYTHING i say....

[ghostchild316]

What about the 300zx calipers?

[Fliquer]

I think you need to do the conversion to put on the calipers.

[SR20DETpower]

I think srswap.com sells 4 lug 300zx brembo rotors... they drill them for our 4 lug pattern.... that way u don't need to do any sort of swapping ecxept for the calipers and brake lines.

[ghostchild316]

The 300zx brake conversion is a cheaper alternative for better stopping power then buying actual high performance calipers/rotors(Ahem,not all of us have alot of money just lying around...)

This IS a "FAQ" and my "Q's" were not really answered.More like everybody just gave their opinion...

Has anybody in here done the conversion to their car?Yes?NO?Can anybody help me?I'll take any USEFUL info.

Nobody here in wichita has done this YET so...

Also has anyone experimented drifting with an RB I havent heard to much on drifting the RB vs the SR and Im very curious about it.

[S14Kyle]

Alright, well, I didn't quite understand the emissions on an SR in America. Sorry if I'm making you repeat yourself. Does the 1998 SR20DET pass emissions in a 1998 240SX with the american cat? If it doesn't pass, how would one go about making it pass?
thanks guys,
hope you can help
(add any information you want)

[Dorikin]

Good Luck!

SR is VERY smoggy

Just keep the cat on and pray it passes...BTW S14 cat is a dummy, on the KA the cat is in the header...u need an S13 cat

[S14Kyle]

Thanks man. More question:
What is a surefire way I could get the SR into my 98 240 and have it pass? And about how much would it cost?

Edit:
Also, keeping the horsepower at decent figures with the modifications, something permanent that I could keep on the 240 to pass emissions over and over again.

i think there's quite a few places that charge alot less then $6128. just do research, check out websites, go to places, call people, and find the best deal possible. but remember, when it comes to engines, as it is with almost everything in life, you get what you pay for, so don't buy an engine just because it's the cheapest one you can find.

[turbo2nr]

i was just giving a idear of what are some key parts that might be need to do the sr swap and how much they go for but yes you can get it done cheaper i know a place that charges only $600 for the labor on a sr20det swap!

but like s-13 iketian said you get what you pay for!

VLSD means Viscous Limited Slip Differential....

[95_SX_SE]

What about KA-T passing emissions in the US? Is that easier than SR?

Also, what is the most street legal power you can get out of a non turbo KA (no internal mods)?
