Ran out of time to put her in. She'll be in sometime this week. You've all seen RB25's so I'm sure this is no big deal, but what the hell.

That transmission looks so beefy compared to the rb20!

Is that the suspension and rotors from your clip? Looks like nice Tein units.

No I bought the coil overs seperate from my clip and the brake and rotor set up is stock 240sx. Eventually I will upgrade but for now my money is tied up in the motor.

Very nice. Wait till you fire that bad boy up. Hope you got a LSD for your 240. If you don't yet, you will want one soon. The 25 does a nice job of ruining one tire quickly :)

To be honest with you, I'm not sure about the brand of the clutch. My friend thats helping me with the swap got it for me. I'll get the name today of the company. I'm putting the motor in today. As for the LSD I don't have one installed yet. I'm not too worried about it during the break in but I will get an R33 GTS-T LSD

Have one just like it in the garage but it still looks sweet seeing it. I sometimes look at the pics that risingsunengines emailed me of my engine at work.

Are you installing it as one unit with the suspension also? You got cajones or you got a few more buddies!

Looks good, good luck!

We (my friend and I) are pushing it under the car today just as its pictured. Were putting it on an engine dolly and lifting her up in the car. I'll have more pics in a couple days. I let my buddy borrow my camera so I won't be able to take pictures.

Sorry to be off topic but everybody doing this needs to have a working camera on hand with fresh batteries! Priorities people!

You guys need to think about us selfish needy a#*holes all the time.

Hope it works good for you Sil.

So we got her up in there today and here is a run down. Very easy to go from underneath. The sway bar was barely resting on the oil pan but should clear once there is wieght on the front wheels. I will check tomorrow. I am grinding out the transmission x-member to support the transmission doing the 2 bolt only method because since I used the r33 x-member they don't line up all the way. This will give it enought support to put the car on a flat bed and tow it to my house where I will do the wiring. Once the car is running we will fab. up a new one to bolt all four hole's up and lower it a little to give it some room for the bell housing. Also need to modify the hood. Cannot hook up the steering rack. It's too short. Any idea's? Ya, the shifter is up a little but you know what. I'm 5'10 and I have long arms, which makes it a little more comfortable. Still waiting on a new turbo and drive shaft before I put spinning hub caps on and take her to kill some american muscle.
