I'm selling all the mods from my GS-T. I should have around $2300 to spend on a 240. I'm not sure how much these cars are going for right now, all I know is that a couple of my buddies have gotten them for cheap. What kind of condition 240 can I get for $2300. I can't find any swapped 240s under 5,000... Which is understandable, I'll end up doing the swap sooner or later. :thumbsup
Do I have enough?

If you want a s13 prowl every junkyard and country road looking for one that isnt beat up but has a blown motor or screwed tranny. You might find one for a few hundred. My buddy got a clean coupe with a blown motor for 300.trapspeed said:
If your real lucky I found a auto s14 with a blown motor and a friend bought it for 600.
Now if you need one running you might find a REAL high mileage s14 for that or a decent s13 hatch or coupe. S14s around here sell for 3k-5k on average running. Dont jump the gun wait untill you find one thats just right for you and buy it. Also make sure it has a clear title. If you resort to a salvage title car have it looked over and put on a frame rack. Another friend of mine got his s14 for 2800 with a salvage title and its been good to him so far.

I bought a '92 hatch with a rod knoking in great condition for $1000 and my other hatch is a '90 with the motor in pieces for $500 in fair condition.

$300 shell + $1400 sr motorset (assuming thats the "swapped" 240 you are referring to)

But 1500 (roundabout average shop cost of a nissan/drifting specialty shop) is a lot of cash to drop on something you can do yourself in a day. Check www.heavythrottle.com for their guide. It's more detailed than you will ever need it to be.

Great info. I was considering the 240 as a project car and would be doing a swap. I was curious is the rb25 swap almost identical. I know that I would need the mckinney mounts but is it just as simple? I would be using a s14 chassis due to the compatibility of the harness and gauges. If any of you have done it would you say its realatively straight forward and doable for someone with little mechanical experience and a single car garage space.
