    i was about $4000 deep in rb25 by the time i got it running, of course i did all the work and called in some mad favors for the clip and mounts. count on spend $6000 to do an rb25 s14 now and add another $1500+ for labor. i wouldnt put the rb20 in a 14, its like putting a redtop in there only it weighs an extra 178 lbs and its harder to get parts. as for converting a zenki to a kouki figure on spending between $2500 and $3000 for the parts. there are a shit ton of lies on the net about how everyone got all this shit real cheap. they might have been true 4 or 5 yrs ago, but thats not the case anymore. to get quality stuff your gonna have to shell out some cash.

    thank you, this is what i was looking for,ive come across the same info on a few other sites... ive come to the conclusion to go the SR20DET if i should go the route of a 240sx at all, and i'm going to scrap the silvia conversion idea and would put extra money into fixing up suspension, brakes, etc...

    no way dude the s15 lights would TOTALLY make your car faster! I'd set aside some money because you'll probably try to impress someone "drifting" (read: wannabe power-over in a parking lot and meet a curb) and end up wrecking your car... god... ricers taking over and destroying 1 240 at a time... sucks
