New to posting here, been reading here for a while tho. A little backround...I am originally from Central iowa, grew up driving honda's...had a 97 pelude and a 99 civic SI. I joined the air force when i was 20 and my first duty station was litterally in the suburbs of tokyo. It was f*** awesome. I got into drifting while i was there drove just about every JDM car you could immagine. I got home in fall 09 and have been saving some money up. Now im living in north dakota. Saturday i finally found the car i have been searching for. A 1 owner completely Stock 1995 240SX se in mint condition. I am working with a couple friends still in japan on getting a motor purchasd. 90% sure i am going NEO RB25det. Hereis a few pics on my car...

clean a efff!! but ive heard some downsides to the neo rb25. such as lack of special parts, that a guy in town hasnt informed me of. but he said the 300zx and q45 share alot of the same parts in the u.s. as the regular rb25.

Wow if the engine is in as good of condition as the rest of the car i would leave it. No sense removing a good motor. Drift it till it explodes and then replace it, you don't need bookoo power to slide. Nice ride, welcome to NICO.
