Anyone have any idea how to perform this swap? (sr20det in a 260z) Or any shops that can do this swap?

Yes, Both are possible and have been done many times. Visit http://www.hybridz.org/. There are plenty of write ups there about both of these swaps. There is a place in cali that does these swaps but price is porbably outrageous.

For the RB swaps there are a few kits that make them bolt in. check out mckinney motorsports. Mack is a great guy and know his stuff especially about RB's.

i gotta ask why do you not een consider the L28ET? bolts right in, great power improvement in stock form then you can miodify as you get the cash, mine is at about 300 whp, and once I build a better bottom end I'm headed for 400 whp, I personally dislake the sr's signifficanr loss of displacement, and it's expensice compared to the L28ET, not to mention the extra fab work, if you have ready access and experience with the sr's by all means go for it, it has potential but if you want to save money and not have to fab mounts and drivshaft, the L28ET is the easy choice
