So are the seats as comfy as you had wanted them to be?

What bracket kit are you using for the Z33 rotors? And are you using the Z32 or R32 calipers?

Looks good man.

Also if your interested in doing A/C I think Im going to tackle it on my motor soon. From the research Ive done the 240sx uses the same signals as the LSx and those gen motors. So it should be easy to wire just need to have adapter lines from the compressor to the condensor and then to the fire wall. Im going to run the 240 canister I think as long as the LS pressure sensor will fit.

The seats are really nice, stiff, but for the money (30 bucks), they are awesome.

I am using wht R1 Wurks Z33 brackets with Z32 30mm calipers, OEM brembo rotors, and Hawk pads.

Yeah NOw that I look at it I could have kept the AC, but now I have more room to fit my turbo when I get to it.

Have a link to them brackets? I'm running on warped R32 GTR rotors right now, not fun hitting up the touge runs the way they shimmy my steering wheel. I'm surprised that I'm able to drive with them.

Just a little update. I have the motor ripped down right now. And I am doing a complete top end upgrade with tuning.

CNC port and polished heads, cam, lifters, pushrods, injectors, upgraded intake, ported oil pump. Im not going to give the specs but she will be making approx 510-525HP at the Flywheel and 450-480 rear wheels

I used to want a lsx swap until I started my RB30/26 project. It lays down a better torque curve than any lsx engine and makes about 480rwhp at 12psi with all stock internals. And if u wanna get crazy just up the boost to 22psi to lay down about 760rwhp. Eatin lsx's all day.

Both sides can make good points, bottom line is the owners personal preference of engine and the use.

I've seen RB's handle well over 1000 hp easy and LS_ engines handle just as much and a little more.

Again, this is where it becomes a preference and application decision and not who is better in numbers.
