Ok guys, yup I am actually posting. First off doing the the DE swap is not hard. Doing it legally, is somewhat harder.
For certain reasons that indeed have been outlined in other threads.
Doing an HR swap is even more involved as you get into the whole crossmember modification due to the engine being a fair amount taller and not fitting in the S chassis engine bay height wise.
Not saying it can't be as some have done it( not legally) . Its just not worth the trouble in my opinion.
You might as well buy a Z
You also have to deal with the hassles of the problematic concentric slave cylinder and NIssan's short sightedness in the name of costs of using plastic in it.
For me I feel the sole reason for doing this swap is for legality. These are my reasons.
I have seen many out of state people posting about the swap were they did not have smog laws to contend with. That to me does not really count because its an easy swap to do if you don't have the smog laws to contend with. Flash the ecu to eliminate Nats,BCM and IPDM and its like wiring a SR.
Though I can say I do like SR's and if I could put an SR in the car legally I would have done that and called it day. LOL
Or perhaps I might have just tossed in a VQ already. LOL
Am I doing the swap? Yes, though its not a priority at all at the moment. I have other things going on business wise that are more important.
Oh and ya its not car business stuff.
