SR20DET, i only know that the firewall is not touched, how the engine is fitted or which cross member they use is a ???

Seen one or 2 examples before... I think massive loads of money has to be dumped into it and don't think about endorsing it, jus pull handbrake, do a spin turn and run as hard as you can when you the coppers

Sr20 would be the best choice i think because it is the newest of available list of engines that can go in and have more potential... Maybe even cheaper (i dunno the market for 15 half cut or engine lantai)

Not to mention the car is a potential mobile death trap if u can't control it

For SR20 what other modification do i have to accompany it?
gb, suspensions, chassis(strengthening?)

or do you have any link where i can get this information?
or contact of any mechanics who are willing to do this upgrade?

those are a given... as for the formula to those mix and match items... best to ask an actual owner for further experiences...

you can try zth and see if anyone can help you.. or any of the old school car drift or touge guys...

how much are you prepared to dump into the project first because as far as i know.. this sort of chop and hack mods have a lot of it's own gremlins and unless you really have the backing and time to start the project, don't even contemplate on doing it... it's not really one of those plug and play cases because in this you are trying to fit a heart from a different era into a relic..

you might be better off grabbing something like an A31 with a transplanted RB25 or something like that... else, you find someone who has a car readily transplanted with little to no known problems.. you'll have to deal with a lot of wiring problems, maybe certain things not working as planned, test running, on the engine front... the rest of the stuff like the footwork and braking systems might be able to migrate over from other nissan models assuming someone has done it before prior to you.. just need to copy the template...

the fact that you ask the question here in LYN is already looking to be a very bad start to your quest from my point of view...
