I was wondering if anyone ran into this problem swapping a sr20det in to a '90 240sx? When the motor is all bolted in and running the Steering shaft is blocking the turbo outlet housing and the down pipe from connecting. its about a 1/4-1/2 inch away from bolting up. Any suggestions?

You forgot to pull the AIV parts and to put a plug into the turbo extension.

you'll see a pipe running from the turbo extension to something that's attached to the head.

Hey man question did you use the engine mounts that came with your detor did you get new ones (nismo) maybe your engine is sagging due to worn out motor mounts. Any how im doing my det swap soon hope this helped dunno.
