First off, no reason to make two threads asking the same question. Second, read this thread:

When you're swapping the 2.5 or 2.6 you're going to need a couple more mods. You'll certainly need a new driveshaft, because the 2.5/6 uses a larger one then the stock 240SX. You'll also likely need a new downpipe and may have to shave your hood a bit for clearance, depending on if you used a mounting kit or the Skyline crossmember. Certain plumbing and piping will likely have to be custom made as well.
