Hello, my name is Adam, and I am new to the whole discussion board thing.... I have read many posts, and feel that this could be a VERY good networking tool, as well as a great source of information. I have a 93 240 hatchback, into which I am installing a RB20DET. I will post a few pics early next week. At any rate, I have ran into a few problems.... the company that I purchased the motor and tranny from broke several sensors, and did not include other key componants. I am also having to customize motor mounts and other such items. I have an SE edition, so there are some good and bad points to starting with this one. I am afraid that it will be a long project to get it up to speed for compitition drifting. However, it should be quiote a fun daily driver until then... I think that you have done a great job with this site so far from what i have seen. I think that I have already made some anxious rookie mistakes with my car though... LOL For example, I think that I would like to stay between 4 and 500 hp for maximum drifting performance, but went out and bought the biggest, and baddest intercooler I could find. It is rated for 1025 HP. Oh well, live and learn. Thank you for this great resource. I hope to learn, and also share any knowledge that may be of assistance to anyone else. Thanx again, Draco

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

ok well bro your in luck man... with-in the last year the words Rb and Sr comes out of almost every nissan guys mouth and becuase of that, there are a surplus of parts around in the states now.. you will be able to find a new harness easily and as far as the mounts check out McKinney sports

full Rb20 mount package


there are other makers also

enjoy bro and welcome to our world

 

thanx for the info, however I have already built a custom set of motor brackets to which I incorporated the original 240 mounts. I chose not to go with the pre-fab design, because I wanted the motor to sit low enough not to have to cut the skeleton on the hood. Even with an aftermarket blow-off valve, that sits on top of the valve cover, the only mod to the hood needed was to put a 1/8 inch spacer between the hood and the hinges. I suppose that I should have said I am choosing to manufacture mounts instead of "have to " sorry, my bad.

 

yea bro the Mckinney setup gives you all of what you just said

but cool work on the fabrication always good bro. you got pictures... i love to fabricate things.

 

Welcome, and if u should have no prob getting ur questions answered here

 

Welcome!!

 

Thanx!! Happy to be here!!

 

Welcome to the forums

 

thanx, I hope to learn a lot here, and maybe provide insight anywhere that I can.

 

welcome to the forums! you can use the r32 crossmember and the rb20 tranny mount, both bolt up to the s13 chassis and work well. driveshaft goes right in too.

 

thank you.... sadly, I have already fabbed the new motor mounts and tranny mount..... i actually did it the first day I posted this.... Silly me... I should have consulted the forums first!! LOL Another stinkin new guy mistake.... Anyway, I will be sure to ask before I just jump at the first option that pops up....
