XenoVibeJul 24, 2010, 5:33 pm · #1 Okay, so there was nothing pinned and I went through abunch of swap threads that didnt say much specific but some did, I just need a little clarification.
Am I missing anything? Do these all have to be S13 240sx parts or is it easiest?
-S13 240sx SS Clutch Hardline
-Shifter boot (or complete center console)
-Custom transmission mounts & crossmember
-Clutch pedal and bracket
-Brake pedal and bracket
-Clutch master cylinder
-Clutch slave cylinder
-Clutch Soft Lines
-Clutch Damper box
-Shifter linkage and knob
-Driveshaft (front half at least)
-S13 240sx engine mounts

-S13 240sx SS Clutch Hardline----------if you have the money, doit
-Shifter boot (or complete center console)-------s13 shifter sits 2 inches or so back i cut some leeway out and zipetied a leather s13 boot in there to replace my accordian s12 one
-Custom transmission mounts & crossmember-------------iggy on here has a writeup for his autotrans to ka/sr/ca mount
-Clutch pedal and bracket------------try to get a stock one, will be easiest to fit. check on here and in yards, if not, use a s13 one
-Brake pedal and bracket----------cut your stock shit in half
-Clutch master cylinder--------s13 if with s13 pedal, s12 will kinda work but the rod will be different
-Clutch slave cylinder-0--- anything nissan pretty much fits lol 17 bux at autozone lifetime warranty
-Clutch Soft Lines--------------yunk yard or use a brake hose
-Clutch Damper box----- DELETE, bypass that shit
-Shifter linkage and knob--------wut. BUT, you will have to cut a section out for your longer transmission
-Driveshaft (front half at least)
-S13 240sx engine mounts-----work, bolt in
check my build thread. its very long lots of info
seishukuJul 24, 2010, 8:02 pm · #3 Don't need an SR specific sticky, the KA24DE is the same swap, except for the added turbo and related piping.
MK2 (86.5-88) S12's shouldn't need a modified trans mount, and for auto to manual parts, I would try to stay with OEM S12 items.
Clutch master and slave cylinders are cheap, use S13 items. I personally use an S12 master with an S13 slave, but the master doesn't matter, they're both 5/8" bore.

seishukuJul 24, 2010, 10:54 pm · #6 XenoVibeSo the automatic crossmember will work with an SR20 manual?
I
think the cross member is the same, but the rubber isolator is different. It's been a long time since I've looked at an auto.

Okay thanks!
I was also gonna ask, what size intake should I get, Im gonna have an S13 Red Top SR20DET on stock boost. For the exhaust manifold, any suggestions? I seen a few threads have complaints so should I just go custom exhaust?
Also, do I need to use the SR or KA slip yoke or are they the same? All i know is they differ in later generations and the TECH thread didnt quite explain.
David BAug 17, 2010, 9:11 pm · #8 my head is cracked. i have a new head, freshlymachined.
im gonna put all the internals from my bad head into this new head
but what about the block? it was fine. but im changing rings and bearings because im there already
does that need to go to the machine shop, or will i be okay with stock/new rings?
D-sport S12Aug 17, 2010, 9:19 pm · #9 how do the cylinder walls look?
CandellanAug 17, 2010, 9:20 pm · #10 I'd get the bores checked for roundness & at least give them a light hone. If you know what you're doing it's DIY, but I prefer to get an engine builder to check my work.
David BAug 18, 2010, 1:39 am · #11 i stripped one of the timing chain guide bolts. do i need to remove the timing chain for them to do that?
seishukuAug 18, 2010, 2:30 am · #12 If you stripped one of the bolts, then why is the chain still on there? Or did you strip it in a way that it just spins and won't come out?
David BAug 20, 2010, 9:22 am · #13 no the allen key. was stripped
i got it off. i cut out a slit, then chiseld the shit diagonally till it broke free
the block has a super small 1=-2 mill long crack that needs to be surfaced out. ill be taking the block to get it resurfaced and the cylinders lightly honed
