Question from 240 buyer

Second (set of) question(s): What are some the unexpected costs of a SR20 swap? I dont plan to immidiately do aftermarket improvements so I'm talk about any hidden costs with the swap. I know you have to get an extended wairing harness, but what else should I expect that I am not now expecting?

Thanks for the help and I hope you use my questions.

You might have already answered this, but I have'nt seen it. I'm going to look at a 93 240sx SE next wed. And I want to know what exactly to look for.

Oh, and I don't want to do an SR swap. I want to keep it KA, and not turbo it.

I would also like some advice about what to do to this car. It is stock as far as I know. And I don't want to do 1/4s or drift. It's just going to be a daily driver to f*ck around with on the streets with my buddies.

testdrive the car man...get a feel for it...turn hard...brake hard...accelerate hard....check sunroof...windows..cig lighter...bushings...etc etc whole bunch of other stuff just search too lazy to type...

Why spend oney to mod it if all you want to do is "F*ck" around with ur buddies

Stealth, I like your new sig

check EVERYTHING!

and i mean everything. i can't stress that enough. make sure the owner gives you a run-down of all that's possibly wrong with the car, anything that needs fixing, lists all the options etc. and check EVERYTHING at least once, if not more times.

good luck.

maybe it's worth it to him

[BuddhistWitch]

Actually when I go to local street meets and shows or whatnot, I can mess around with it then. So yes.. it is worth it to me.

[JDMDrft]

if your gonna race it with some local kids, no doubt you should mod. A 240 taking hondas in a straight line is always cool especially with an underrated KA

At least one person sees the beauty of it all.
