no not really, which is why you should do other things such as suspension mods, wheels/tires, powered by nissan stickers,etc...

suspension and lsd are always a good idea to get while waiting for SR

Header, singular, you don't have a V6 or V8.
I'd flame the hell out of you, but I'll give you a hint instead. What makes the SR different? Turbo, right? Go learn all about how a turbocharger works, where it goes, etc., and you'll answer half the questions you would normally feel a need to ask.

i prefere mugen for my 240 personally.
ok no flames yet. Lately i think we've been unhelpful as a community. Also use the SEARCH (http://www.zilvia.net/f/search.php?) button and google (www.google.com) If there is a specific part you are curious about feel free to ask, but you cant expect us to list every detail we know.

I'm in the same situation ur in. I'm doing bodywork first, but am in preparation for an engine swap and suspension work. I'm not decided on the motor (CA, RB, or SR) yet, so it's a good idea to think about that as well (engines). The SR is not the only one in existance. But, be realistic. Don't plan for an RB when u have a $6/hr job and work part time.
I've gotten:
aero Kit, new carpet, some lighting bs, whiteline bushings all around, damper kit, ruca's, strut bars, sway bars, tension rods, exhaust, cat, fuel pump, meters (3), meter panels, pivot hlc, Z32 fuel filter, and brake equipment for upgrade. just little shit here and there u know?
Also look into this forum through SEARCHING about interchangable/upgrade parts from other cars like the Z32. I'll be copping an MAF w/ filter kit soon...Read up and u won't b flamed...

The only real things that'll bolt over are not truly engine related. Like better fuel pump,and filter. Better catback exhaust system. High flow cat or test pipe. Short throw shifter....your better off just saving your money for the swap if you think you can afford it and thats what you want then to put money into the KA that you will loose. Good luck learning and welcome aboard mate'

good work, everyone.
My advice is to lurk and search your guts out. Learn everything you can. If you have a question, search for the answer. You may not find your answer right away, but by reading threads, you'll gain more knowledge.

If you want easy power, get a chip for your ECU, get a wastegate, bleed tap, and a blow off valve for noise and youve pumped up you sr from stock 10psi to 15 or 16PSI before doing anything major to the internals of the engine. Easy Peasy

cmon bro..this is funny. Your being sarcastic right?
just to be sure
stock boost=7
you cant "chip" a 240
15psi on stock injectors, t-25 and SMIC=you lose

Trust me, reading the forum is your friend and search before you ask questions on here...and the flamesuit investment would be MOST helpful on here...lol

get exhaust, lsd, maybe some suspesion, im assuming since your 16 you havent drove your 240 alot, anyways do some of that stuff and learn driving it, then after your fimiliar with it then go with the sr that way youll have exhaust etc that you can use with that motor, you wouldnt have a header on a sr, good luck,
p.s. when i say exhaust i mean catback

Like what most of these guys said (except Nismosil80, don't listen to him)
Do all of your own work too!
You'll curse and get pissed off and bleed, but it's worth it! AND FUN!
Note: If you're bent on getting an SR, don't buy any performance parts for your KA engine. And remember, KA-turbocharged engines have high amounts of rock & roll, so remember that there are lots of alternatives to SRs, which you'll learn if you use the Search function religiously.

Questions answered. As kindly as could be expected too. Good work everyone!
I'm going to lock this. Guy, you should really search, study, and investigate exactly what you're going to get yourself into with a 200hp turbocharged motor in a easily tossable, snap understeering car.
