Engine set are quite a bit cheaper then a clip. I would recommand a clip. The engine set will only come with motor, tranny, ecu, and harness, where as a clip will come with everything, from the above mentioned parts to AC compressor, AC lines, to radiators, basically the whole nine yards. Why is it better, well, in the long run you will spend more money and time looking for parts for the engine set, whereas you can use the parts that are on the clip already, no modifications. If you have pre-90 240SX (I believe), you can also use the JDM cluster so the tach will work. Also, with engine sets, lots of times, the oil pan are damaged during transit, where as the oil pans for motors shipped in clips are protected by the frame, not causing any damage.

As for right hand drive, you are looking at mega custom modifications, not many done to my knowledge, if any.

Thanks
