I am thinking of trading or saleing my 88 300zx na to turbo conversion car cause gas is killing me in addition to up keep costs on a car that old.

So I am thinking of getting another 240sx that has a good frame not wholes in it like the one I have now and depending on cash left over from purchasing the car get a sr20 for it so I am not loosing that much power stepping down from the turbo z to a na s13.

Also I have a 88 z31 clutch lsd I was going to put on my z31, that I could put on the s13. How had is this to do I know it has been done.

If I do this I know I will miss my z car, the power it has is amazing and it is so comfortable you don't want out of the seats. But I can't keep up with it anymore. Fricken O.P.E.C
