Hope you never plan on selling it because one of your potential problems is resale.

Yeah, I don't see someone buying a BMW with a Nissan motor in it. Just stick with the BMW engines. Sure they are a little more pricey when things break but they are a hell of alot better than Nissan

^^ Yeah considering I haven't seen a single 240 with JUST an SR20DET swap run anything lower than 14's. Mind you my car is still NA and now that I got my TMS/Conforti chip in I'd love to see him run with me. Oh and by the way like NSM said, "cool first post", jackass
