So I bought a 98% rust free roller, and since this is my first 240 (even though im not new to nissans) I have a few questions. Anyways So i just picked up an rb20det today, and everything appears to be good to go except there is no power steering. The roller came with a brand new power steering rack, but not fittings or lines. Now the question is on that can i use the power steering and lines from a ka24de? If not what are my options?

2:My shell came with no radiator so i picked up a koyo aluminum radiator, what is my best bet for mounting it?

3 finally The harness is pulled all the way out of the engine bay with the ecu attached, but there is harness under the dash. Does this sound correct?

Appreciate all the help,
Dakota

Hello. Am getting started on this swap myself.

For #2 - would recommend getting the engine in place first. I believe the radiator must be out before dropping in the engine. It should mount just like the stock one though. two brackets on top and two pegs on the bottom that hold it in place.

#3 - yes, there should still be a harness under the dash for the TAC, speedo, etc.

Not sure on #1, am searching for an answer on that for my swap also. Good luck!

So my car came with the harness already pulled. And the previous owner(s) just threw them into the back in the hatch area. Anyways is this my chassis harness?

looks like a body harness and possibly some of the lower harness too? Kinda hard to tell in the video.
