Wow, this is truely sad.  I am not in the flaming business but this is sad

So what you are telling us is that you plan to spend upwards of 4000-5000 grand on something you don't know shit about. &nbsp;Before I got my SR (through heavythrottle-great guys <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> ) &nbsp;I did tons of research here, fresh alloy, google, HT, and UH. &nbsp;

Here's the scoop...you have read your super street too many times and heard all the raves but don't really know what it you are getting into. &nbsp;

1. Do you know that you will no longer be able to take your 240 to a Nissan Dealership to get worked on

2. Do you know that not a lot of mechanics know anything about the SR

3. Do you know that things will break (yes, the engine can go there but there is a lot of things that need to be changed and or moddified that will break)

4. Getting it done by HT will be a good way of getting quality work but still things will go wrong.

I just hope that you are very handy because any and all work that gets done to my SR is done by me...partially by choice but mostly because there is no other option. &nbsp;Think about that before you get all gung ho and I hope you have tons of money if you don't know how to work on turbo cars. &nbsp;
As an example: I need my clutch replaced. &nbsp;Where am I going to take it? &nbsp;Oh yeah that's right I have to spend $350 on a SR clutch and do it my damn self. &nbsp;Not that it will be a problem but &nbsp;I just don't have the time now to drop my entire tranny and create a possibility of massive downtime w/ my daily driver

PS many shops won't touch your car also because of the liability issues. &nbsp;A non-factory engine and workmanship they can't be sure of equals a big law suit <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/crazy.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':crazy:'>
