hey man can you post my car on Club nico forums for me? I would really appreciate it. I am the other guy on the board that has a 240 but my car hates me and I am switching to another ride. Send me an email at [damonspeeds@yahoo.com](mailto:damonspeeds@yahoo.com) if you could. I have a bunch of extra parts if you want to sell some stuff on there for yourself too

Finally the obvious, what type of racing are you building your car for if any (show?)

dude that is to ironic because when I first put my 240 on the road I got no insp, no registration, switched plates, no lights and loud exhaust. Get a lawyer a quick 250$ can save you points and drop a couple tickets. You are lucky they did not try to bring you to the station. and tow your car to impound because they did that to me. It was premeditated :angry2 if they appeared out of no were someone isn’t feeling you. :angry2

I forgot to mention, the ca18det is the 180sx (240sx in europe)

Quick Nissan Lesson:

Japan sr20det 2.0L Turbo  
Europe CA18det 1.8L Turbo  
USA KA24de 2.4L (Should have made them turbo)

But back to the question, the CA is easy to swap if it comes with the harness, just about the same work to install a SR. If you dont have the harness, GOOD LUCK! lol. but i just got the motor in my basement today, just cleaning and inspecting for now. O! and btw, the Ka24E, is running great, after i got bored yesterday, i pulled it in the garage, did a motor flush, and replaced vavle cover gasket, and it runs great, the oil was nasty, lol it looked like Mrs. Butterworth was all up in my motor!
