53/47 sr20 makes it Almost exactly 50/50. I think like 50.8/49.2 or something

The G20 and 200sx are horizontally mounted engines, unlike an inline set-up, so there could be some differences as far as where key components of the engine might be located. For example, the starter may sit fine along the bottom right hand side of the block when its an inline engine, but mount that same engine horizontally, and now theres a possibility that that location for the starter may rub or hit the firewall.

17's = larger diameter, if you don't have much power they are harder to break loose....you should be drifting on ****ty tires in the rear anyway. you want really good grippy tires on the front tho. i am running 16's in the front and 15's in the rear

i know several places to get the engines, they are very respected places too, so you know you are getting good ****....it depends where you get the LSD from, you get it from the US...prolly like 6-800 dollars...in japan...like 4-500
[/QUOTE

ok Im going to get a 240Sx cheap b/c i know the owner of the nissan dealership in my town, and i know other dealerships too, so i should have enough money to buy what i want/need

do you have 2 sets of tires?? ones you us for drifting and ones for everyday driving?? b/c i think i've seen this white Silvia from Jap w/ 17s or maybe 18 drifting b4.

how much could you find a SR20DET (RWD of course) engine for?

thankz
Mike

i think you addressed this in the wrong thread..but..........

yeah, i run two different sets..in the summer. right now i am rolling on stock 7 spoke alloys tho.

the 16's on the front are my drift and regular driving tires(yok A520's) and my rears for drifting are 15's on **** tires, rears for reg driving are 16's that are the same as the front but a different offset and wider tires
