ALOT! no joke. The girlfriend is doing one in her 240sx.

Last i knew it was just over 9K.
All that is left to buy THAT I KNOW OF AS OF RIGHT NOW
is the Driveshaft/Wiring/USDM 550cc Injectors.

G/L if you decide to do it. if you want a good place for info and what not check out
www.2JZSwap.com

If you go through Tech 2 they sell most everything you need for the swap
Mount kit 1700
Wiring 550
Motor,trans,harness 2600
Radiator 500
Intercooler 650
Etc.
check them out
www.Tech2motorsports.com
or
Search RUKUS racing, they make the mount kit cheaper.

the reason why i think that itll cost so much is because the people that do the swap that buy the parts specificly from a site that know your doing the swap. Thats why they over charge you on parts for example: Wiring Harness $2600. WTF!! thats insane. A wiring harness, that goes for that much i bet if i look somewhere else i can find it for half the price. But yeah i tihnk im gonig to send that guy a PM about the swap and see what he paid for it cuz if its more than 10k then "F" that. Then maybe ill look into the RB swap

well Tech2's Shit lines up pretty good. And if you look around there are some people that get the kit then decide to go else where with there car. If you keep your eyes open you can find a "deal" I got my motormounts,trans mount and x-member from a guy on 2JZSwap.com for 880 Shipped, Which is better then 1700 that Tech2 Charges. Then i got the motor for 2300 Shipped. As of right now i'm at about 9,000. But that includes new coilovers, all new suspension bushings, sway bars, tie rods, tension rods, traction arms, getting my wheels redone, and alot of other shit that is unneeded to do the swap.

Also, They charge $450 for a modded koyo radiator, when you could get any other KA radiator and cut the water neck and run a custom hose.
They charge $650 for a IC w/ piping, you get any other intercooler and make your own piping for cheaper.

They can charge what they want as they are one of the only places making EVERYTHING you need to get a 2J into your 240sx.

right i completely agree with you, and from what i see its ridiculous to pay that much money for something so simple that i could do, i understand buying motormounts from them because you need to, cuz they are one of the selected few that sells them. But the motor, trans, harness etc. ill get somewhere else for a better deal. I think if i really take my time and look for the right price on everything i can do it with out spending a dollar over 7k. Do you think thats realistic or am i just smoking crack
