sr install dvd on ebay
Some of you guys are some real ****s. No one ever mentioned using this DVD as an SR installation bible, it's just a very great tool to have and to know what the swap consists of. No one even knows if this is a scam, so until then, keep your negativity to yourself. If some of you can swap SR's one handed and blind folded, whoop-dee-*****ing-do, great for you, but let others have the oppertunity to learn without having to worry about being looked down upon.
I will buy one, thanks for the heads up about the dvd.

you people whine too much and make up WAY too many excuses. The way to learn is to perform. Once you try something, you will figure it out. Its like the first repair i did was replace spark plug tube gaskets on my grandmothers neon... that involved tearing into the engine... i didnt even flinch... p******

Some feel apprehensive about swapping a 2500 engine into their car. I was/am. That is why i didn't try to accomplish it alone. Good for you that you did your spark plug tube gasket on your own:rolleyes
I dotn have an SR20 and I may stil get one just because if it isnt a scam and is a worthwhile product

wow man..you're like the spark plug tube god now. You should start a spark plug tube business and your logo will be "i don't flinch".

SR install DVD on Ebay
Hello,
My name is Michael Kent and I am the creator of the SR20 Installation DVD. I have only started visiting this site recently and I am quite excited at all the interest my DVD has created. Before I start sounding like a Corporate suit, let me give you guys some background info. I'm a 21 year old student studying Television broadcasting in Toronto, Canada. My love for cars lead me to Nissan, and that love has turned into a way of life. I am not a rich guy and school is pretty expensive, so I really had little options to souping up my 240. I wanted to do a 180sx conversion, but I couldn't afford to do all of it, especially the SR20 engine swap. I researched and saved for about a year, and finally worked up the courage to tackle the project, as I knew it would be the only way I could afford it. I started to buy parts off ebay and related sites, and I got almost every part other than the RHD conversion pieces. I worked on it in a non-heated garage through 7 months of cold winter. I did everything by myself without any power tools and I had no mechanical experience before I started. My goal was to show people that this swap is possible by hand. It really is. What makes it hard is the lack of knowledge availible to North Americans and that's why I made the DVD. It outlines how I made everything work to factory spec. It (more importantly) outlines all of my mistakes with their solutions to make things easier on everyone else doing the swap. I'm not out to get rich off the whole thing. Every cent I make off of the DVD will help fund my next project; an RB26. I still need to work up the guts for it, though!I see alot of people in this forum commenting on things I address in the video. For instance, Fibercus mentioned paying for a harness. Although I supply all the necessary diagrams with the video to do the harness yourself, I paid to have it done by Heavy Throttle. I thought this way all I have to worry about is putting the motor in, then starting it up. I was wrong. The wiring harness is very sensitive at parts, and sure enough, my wiring had a small error. But I had nowhere to start! If you were to do the harness yourself, you'd have certain feelings about parts being potential problem areas later. Since I didn't do the harness, I was lost and had to call in an electrician to find the problem. This is entirely outlined and solved in my video. I reccommend doing the harness yourself and then getting an electrician to maybe check everything over. That way, at least you're doing everything locally so you have somewhere to go if a problem does arise. I joined this forum to learn more about Nissans and answer questions to others who want to learn as well. Regarding the SR swap, if anyone has any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll respond as soon as possible. Karter 74 was right, I am selling the DVD's with the converted FSM for $18.00 shipped. Let this be the start of an SR army. The sooner we all do it, the sooner we all get to drive smog-legal Skylines.

Michael,Nice to have you on board. Anyone who has done swaps and can help everyone else out will deffinetly be a asset.
I don't plan on doing an SR swap anytime soon, but if or when I do, I hope you are still doing the DVD. I think it would be a bennefit to some one like me, with moderate skills when it comes to automotive repair and upgrades.
PS As far as the RB goes, there are some very smart guys on here who have alot of knowledge about the engine.

Cool to hear from him
Kinda sucks since I just won an auction off ebay for much more than the $18.00
Damn
Look forward to getting it though.
Watching this DVD will help me make up my mind on whether or not I should do it myself. Although I pretty sure I would get someone to take care of the wiring harness for me. Oh well

hmm...
a friend who is a pretty competent mechanic and i did the engine swap, wiring, etc. by ourselves in my garage.
everything worked except for 2 wires, the fuel hose return line attached incorrectly, and timing 180degrees off.
had to have the guys at cartune come over to look at it =P
but it was a really enlightening experience; i had no mechanical knowledge before. it was crazy =D
i enjoyed every moment of it =DDDDD
so lesson is: do it yourself! and you don't need a dvd!

I finally watched it, it was pretty informative, but the audio quality was pretty bad, at some parts you can't hear other people talking. I think he could have switched some segments around to make it easier to understand on some of the installs he did. Overall it was pretty good and I think lots of newbies (namely myself) would learn a lot from it.
I ordered the DVD and watched it. Overall pretty informative. Covers Z brake swap and some other minor mods that were pretty interesting. Audio quality was poor and some of the shots were rather dark and hard to make out. Good reference though. I wished he would have done a better job with the camera work though, would have made the dvd a lot better. Too much "fill" in between installs. It has two videos of some car shows and drag races that have nothing to do with Nissans, A lot of hondas, and if you like hondas as much as I do you are in for a treat! (MMM Sarcasm) Overall worth the $18. Still not sure if I will attempt it or not. I will have the extra money to have it installed so why not!
