Ok, some drunk rear ended my 91 Civic HB and over time have discovered drifting is funnier in  FR car. I have decided I love the look of a 240sx being converted to a Sil80, so that will be my next project. Does anyone have any good links/bookmarks/irc servers/ Video suggestions/ part contacts that you would be willing to give me?

Also someone suggested to get a RB25DET instead of a SR20DET for a engin swap. Which is better and why?

I apologize for sound like such a newbie and I thank all that reply!

I guess I forgot something big here. I plan on getting a 89-92 240sx.

if i where u i would get 91-94, better engine than the 89-90

rbs are good but the engine bay is so cramped, its all your personal preferance

Could answer these questions but all are HIGHLY debatable.  Much better to do some preliminary research, either through looking through past posts, or finding write-ups.  Then ask more specific questions.
