I have a s13 92' 240sx se.. not that the se makes a whole mess a difference. This is going to be my first time swapping a complete engine.. not to mention Manual transmission. I'm looking into rb25 neo.. I've been looking into for a while. Wiring harness is an issue?? Does it really matter? Is there any snags anyone has come across with this motor? anything need to be upgraded to deal with the excess power? Silly little things like that. Any comments would be appreciated. thanks

What do you mean "wiring harness, does it matter?"

Yes, yes it does matter. It's not like you can use a KA harness for an RB25 Neo. You'll need a mount kit, also. Upgrade the clutch, differential, suspension and brakes as well.

clutch will be an issue, cuz the rb25 neo is a pull type instead of a push type clutch.

Of course I can't use the KA harness. My question is more or less does it matter if it cut or intact. are they hard to find seperate. is it better to have the OEM

dont get a cut harness motor. Chan chances are something will be missing that you need. Plus its more work. As for wiring, check our vendors we have someone that makes mail order conversion harnesses.Also try the RB section for more info.
