Yes they do. I dont know if they responded to you yet they are rather busy. Your best bet is to give them a call.

Hey Hash, do you ever come up to any of the LA meets? If you're in the area, I would REALLY like to take a look at your car sometime. I'm in Claremont (far East LA county).

I dont go to many meets, actually I have not went to any nissan meets or drift events. I am trying to get the car done first. I have displayed the car a few times for the shop but only local here in san diego. I will get out more and up north when it is done to my satification. I dont mind people checking it out but no meets or events yet. So if your ever down this way try to get a hold of me we could try to meet up if you want to check it out. I now have my backup/second 240 so my car should come along pretty quik now. Had to slow down when it was my onlycar.

To answer the first question, my swap including the Car, with me doing the labor was under $8K. The car is a 92 240SX, It smells bad but it was in good shape and ran fine when I got it. I bought the driveshaft, and mounts from mckinney. so if you use the R33 cross member instead, you save 1150. You probably add some additional labor time not using a kit.

HybridOne, I'm interested in the RB into S14 swap. How did you mount your RB20??

if you do the research and suspension work etc etc etc, how driveable is a rb25 in a 240 (does it go or do the wheels just spin?)
