Is that list decent enough for a slight rebuild? Should I at least throw in some piston rings? I'll have a shop do the install so installation price will probably be a *****.

Along with the swap, I'll be throwing in the following:

- Nismo Motor Mounts ($180.45 performancenissanparts.com- Walbro 255 fuel pump ($100 ebay)- A'PEXi Auto Timer ($100 ebay)- greddy o2 housing (sr20) ($205.01 Shipped - optionimports.com)- Greddy downpipe (sr20) (168.73 Shipped - optionimports.com)- Catco 3" Cat Converter (flanged for a 240sx) ($166.25 phase2motortrend.com)- Oil pressure, boost, egt gauges as well

Im trying to get EVERYTHING planned out, so I'll have a ballpark figure as to what amount to save up.

you might want to get a fuel pressure regulator to go with the new fuel pump

go ahead and throw rings/bearings in. Do it in the beginning, so you don't do it a few months later (le sigh) when something goes wrong.

OK, so fuel pressure regulator, piston rings/bearing, and oil pump. I can agree with those 3.
