i need some help! i own a 93 240 coupe and it has 207,000 miles. i plan on replacing every suspension piece. im not sure what products are the best, but i need new tie rods, and either new shocks or just go with coilovers...? i was thinking of the nismo power brace and some componets from Battle Version. i also wanted to know about what wheels i should get. i dont want to go any bigger then 17 in. but i wanted to know how wide i could go and if i needed wheel spacers or not. i also plan on swaping a SR20DET, leaning towards S13 black top unless someone tells me a good reason not to and if i do swap in that engine, what other things would i need to replace? im only going to have about 7,000 to play with so i need to fix just whats broken or worn out first. thanks in advance for your help.

This is too easy.

I'm gonna use the famous Zilvia catch phrase.

SEARCH.

What everyone is trying to say is that..... on this board, at least 3-4 times a month, a new guy like yourself comes here and askes the same question. I mean same down to a T. Look closer to the top of the page, there is a search button. Click on that, and enter something like..... SR20 Build, or SR20 extras. When you type that, click on go, and pages apon pages apon pages will come up. The deal is, this whole subject has been covered so much on this board, it's pointless to cover it again. So type that in the search box, b/c you aren't going to get any answers in this thread.

And oh, F the SR, I've been there, you feel like waiting a month to get *some* parts if your motor breaks down. Most of the stuff is compatiable with the Sentra, but, I've had both the SR and 2 turbo KA's. I'm telling you from experience, buy another KA, something with low mileage, and turbo that. It costs less, and if something breaks, the auto parts store has everything you need.

New OEM oil pump + water pump, all new belts, Nismo motor/tranny mounts, new NGK plugs, new vacuum lines, new radiator + hoses.

After that 3inch turbo elbow, 3 inch DP, 3inch dummy cat, 3inch exhaust.
