2 things....
First, I agree with the 240 remark about having to swap the Ka24, i just would never even think about putting the SR20DET in. Why? Because like you said it is an accomplishment to make it push 200 hp. And by that time if your motor isnt reinforced guess what, if you dont have a rocker blocker that motor is gonna go very very quickly with SOMETHING shooting throgh it. Those motors are infamous for throwing rods at high RPM. As for the RB26, it is illegal in 50 states. Or so I have heard somewhere. I may be wrong. And I would never touch a Vg30 swap ever.EVER.
I am really considering the still the 300zx, and the SRT-4. I would say I wanted a WRX, but, I really wasn't impressed by them, the only one I would really consider would be the STi which is way way way way way pricey. I could get a TT supra with that money. But, regardless, the SRT-4 seems to me like its more bang for your buck. Looks can always be changed. But you gotta admit it does look better then its predecessors.
