Oh also i just wanted to confirm something- Im going to try to buy the SR from heavy-throttle; now if im correct their engines ship with complete trannys aswell- so i would not need to do the swap seperately- correct? Im pretty sure about this i would just like someone more knowledgale to confirm this for me- this is probably something that applies to fist's situation too. THANKS : )

yeah i saw that- but seems to me that there are alot of people asking where to get trannys who are doing the swap.... so i was wondering if i was missing something. Looks like it may be the other way around. Thanks

if u look at just about any threads here, u'll see that the general concensus is that the front clip is the way to go. that way, at least u know that pretty much everything is whole and intact...

that pic i posted isnt the 240 i am ge tting...its just a pic i found! i wish it was mine...
mines not that good....yet...
i just drove it again today....
is anyone interested in buying a 1995 240sx from me???
its lowered and has an exhaust..
i figure i might use it for now and sell it for a different one. one with less kilometers on the body...the door panels and ****..something in there is makin a little excess noise...maybe i'm just used to driivng in a 2000 chevy impala.
i definitely love the car tho...i love it because it's rear wheel drive...thats where it belongs...you'll never find a true performance car thats f ront wheel...look at all the exotics...all bmw's....grab a bochure for the is300...it nearly brought me to tears!

let me get some pics of it up...i'll take some video too with the digital camera.
there is a few rust spots here and there...nothing big or anything....but i dont understand how it can be rusting so fast considering its a 95...oh well.
see me...i'm more interested in a brand new body where everything is tight....like i drive and i go over a bump and nothing rattles at all..just like new....i plan to swap the engine anyways.
for those of you that have been helping me...i was given a price of 4,300 CANADIAN for an sr20det...plus shipping which would be 150....is this good or should i contact the people they get it from and try to get it a little cheaper?
