Ok so heres the deal. I'm currently looking into buying a 240 coupe(s13). My question is the reality of putting and rb26dett into it. I know it would cost a buttload of cash, but I have nothing else to spend my cash on(god i'm lonely <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

'> ). I just have a couple of questions about it. I've seen a few s13's powered by the skyline motor but the website I found weren't much help. When I translated them it just ended up being a bunch of engrish. But it does prove to me it can be done. The questions I have are these:

1. Weight? What would this do to the weight distribution of the car. Would the front be all assed out to the ground?

2. What all would I need? Engine mounts, brackets, ducktape, clothespins???

3. Where could I locate an engine and upgrade parts??

4. Emissions? I know it wouldn't pass but what would I have to do to make it legal?(btw I live in Houston)

5. What would this do to the car? Running wise, would I only be able to drive this on the weekeneds due to the engine ripping a new ahole in the car?

hhmmm... mind has gone blank so thats all I can think of for now. Any info would be greatly appreciated. If you wonder why I would want to even try to do this, Everyone is slapping turbos on to the KA's and dropin sr20's in there 240's so this would be real different, plus i really want to go be able to run down kids in a school zone at 200mph....heehee.

also, really like the forum. good stuff on here

so throw me a bone if you know something <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
