Before I do my swap i did some research about the swap. First off, can I swap everything in the front clip over to the 240sx without modding the uncut wireharness from the sr20? I also heard that I have to swap out the speed sensors to a KA because of the KM to MPH? I also read some where you have to switch the thermostat from teh KA to the SR bc of F vs C reading? dont quote me on that. Will my stock HICAS work on the sr20 motor? I am also doing the right hand conversion, I plan on cutting out the firewall and welding it on to the 240sx chasis (wish me luck).

I bought the front clip because i wanted all the tid bits that i might need. I bought new gaskets and seals, new chain kit, new water pump, new belts.

Swap the speed sensor. There's really nothing different between them, but some people swear that they read a few mph different.

temp sensors are fine. They're identical

Without an SR HICAS pump, you won't be able to keep HICAS. I don't think the KA pump will bolt up to the SR brackets at all.

You will need to modify the harness no matter what. That's covered in about 140,345,723,001 write ups on swapping SRs into 240s.

Good luck on hopping on the RHD bandwagon. I hear it's fun to back up through drive throughs.
