i dont know much about the skyline swap into the 240, havent looked into it much yet cuz i hear its a pain in the ass......as far as legality issues go, i know in CA we can get jdm motors to pass smog - but you need usdm smog equipment, sensors, intake manifold, intake, catalytic convertor.... (i.e - they must have a usdm counterpart - like the B18C is offered here and in japan) so that might be somewhat of a problem.
but heeeeeeeey if you get an rx7 i wouldnt mind helping out with that either - even though i know nothing about a rotary motor as of yet......learning is fun.

Nah, it doesnt have a USDM counterpart, and It'll fail the visual inspection :( thats why I need to find someone who lives out of state .. so I can register it..
And yea, I've joined a couple Rotary clubs, and tried to do a little research, but these rotaries are retartedly complex.
As far as the complexity of the RB swap into the 240, its relatively easy. Granted, its not as easy as the SR20... places like Mckinney Motorsports down in SD offer a RB Mount + Driveshaft kit for 1100. Buy a new radiator, hoses, new belts, new FMIC, BOV, Fuel Pump, injectors, and an advanced piggy back like power fc, and you'll be fine.
I was trying to price out a list for a RB26 swap, but that would put me over 10 Grand, because I'd have to mate the RB25 tranny to the 26 block. Tranny alone is like 1500 USD.
And Spaz, what kinda questions you got? I'm happy you got the 240
As for the speedo, is it analog or digital? And when you started the car... It didnt run did it? or did it just drag the car along..
