it would be easier to buy a 240 or a sentra/200sx and do the sr swap on that

the vq swap sounds cool too. i'm considering that too but it sounds like a really difficult swap. am also thinking about just putting a turbo on the ka instead.but i dont know what im going to do yet.am open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Think about a motor from http://www.jspecautosports.com they sell nice whole sets. I had a 95 u13 and swaped a bluebird in with no real problems. you only need a sr20de transmission and mounts thats just about it cause the set from Jspec comes with the engine, ECU and wiring harness for $1695. It's not bad.

You can find parts but they will cost. In Australia they have a model called a u13 bluebird sss . it's an altima with a sr20det and AWD. Yes the us gets screwed out of the good cars
