Well, considering they haven't even arrived yet, (I don't think), then I would assume that no one has formed an opinion thus far. But, let me say, once Daunt's business does get going I would pick him over any other SR20DET importer.

Sorta. Depends if Daunt gets some loans before I find a different job. I can't stay broke forever. I told him whoever offers me money first gets me. I *hope* to be working with him, but I've been forced to look for other jobs right now due to financial reasons.

By the way, this doesn't mean Afterdark isn't going to go on. It is. I just can't wait any longer myself to have an income. I got bills to pay.

All the motors and stuff that Daunt is selling are still good. Orders are good. It's just a delay in opening the shop (to work on cars).

I've always been curious about details like this..So, how many people are gonna be in the shop at a time working on swaps? How many swaps do you guys expect to get done in a week? And, furthermore, is this going to strictly be a 240sx performance shop?

Initially the plan is to me and Daunt. More people when business picks up.

Depends on what swap it is, and what all the customer wants done. I would say we could do approx 3 swaps a week, being a regular SR swap. That is just a guess.

No. It will be primarily Nissan's (*any* nissan). However, we will do anything a customer wants done, for a price. I am just as comfortable pulling apart a B18 as I am an SR20, or any engine, for that matter.

So does that mean that the motors are actually on a boat sailing here right now? Thanks!

That's the way I understood it. But you might want to verify with Daunt.

Actually, the rotary market is the one we want to tap into 2nd most to Nissans. I don't claim to have ever built a rotary, but I do know the mechanics of them in pretty good depth, and am anxious to start building some (ofcourse I'd practice first on junk motors).
