ok i'm new here so anyways.. here's my question, will the rb26dett fit in the 240sx? I've been told it will, also can i use the 6speed tranny or would i have to use one out of a 300zx?
thanks,
(sorry if this is incoherent)

Talk to these people.. If you have 10k+ they will hook you up.
Me I say buy a skyline.. unless your going for the 454 in a bettle type of thing. anyways hope this helps. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

*sigh*..again. use the search button, juss recently somewat a few weeks or days ago some guy posted about this and that and got into a flame war...and juss recently many ppl [and me] got pissed and flamed newbies for asking the same question again and not using the search button. so use it. other ppl will get pissed so ima post something that has info.
No, it will not fit in, the TT hits the steering wheel column so to make it fit u have to take out a turbo. ill leave it as that, ppl can correct me if im wrong. ill let other ppl get annoyed about this.

now if you have a problem with that i don't care. But thanks for you input.
And it won't cost 10k, i can get the front clip for 4500usd.

he wasn't saying the motor would be 10k, but the motor, and Custom installation work that would have to be done to get it to work. Also, you would need to use the 5-speed from the rb25det b/c the tranny from the rb26dett is AWD. You could not use the Tranny from the 300 as it would not bolt up, and would be completely the wrong size. The more common Skyline motor swap (albeight not very common either) is the RB25DET. Single turbo, and much more straightforward, but still requireing some custom work. OR, you could go with the RB20DET, which is a super silky smooth motor, with tons of potential. here again, remeber ANY skyline motor will require a bit of custom work to fit.
The ONLY bolt-in motors are the KA, SR, and CA.
It Can be done, and Has been done. Don't be discouraged. Just understand that it WILL be a hella lot of money to do the custom work. Especially if you are trying to make the car street legal.
