Hey guys new to the forums and new to Nissans. I'm doing a ca swap into my 89 240 with my cousin. We're both mechanically inclided and have the tools. Could someone please post up a write up or some information so we don't steer off course?

Thanks,Justin.

p.s. I did search and it only returned up FS: ads.

http://www.srswap.com Look in the FAQ It's the same as the CA down to the wire colors.

with the exception that you can use the radiator from your 240sx with the CA, and use the radiator hoses as well

(SRs have to get a different radiator)

Thanks man really appreciated!!!! So the whole ca swap is the same as the sr swap? Is there a specific sr like the red-top black top or the s14 t28
