JustAConquest Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 ok i bought a full 240 with an sr20det so im htinkin about just takin most of the stuff and transfering it. wouldnt the stock rack n pinion work since the 240 is left hand drive just like the quest? and since the sr is about the same size as a 4g wouldnt it slide in without messing with the firewall? i know ill probly need to cut the motor mounts from the 240 and weld them on the quest but has anyone done an SR before so i might have a game plan?

Alcyone Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 you should take both mounts to a machine shop and have them make you some solid mount with SQ fittings on one side and sr20 fitting on the other... or.. measure the cross member you might be able to just use the 240 x-mem with the right holes drilled then your steering rack should bolt up too..

slowquest Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 and djpowerhaus (projectzerog.com) had a 240 crossmember in his quest, not exactly a bolt in.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJpowerHaus Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 I have some adapter plates for the 240SX crossmember if you want them. They'll work as long as you're not lowering you car car as much as I did. I ended up so low that I had to raise the crossmember to correct my piss poor control arm angles. To do this, I removed the adapter plate and just welding an adapter onto the crossmember itself. My car has 240SX Tein coilovers lowered to the bottom of their adjustment up front with custom top camber plates and Tein pillowball upper mounts. I used 240SX control arms with holes drilled for the starion tension rods. I then used S14 front hubs and Z brakes. This required me to add longer wheel studs and a 1/4" spacer behind my mesh wheels to clear the brakes. Stock wheels wont work without even more spacing and the wheels are already cambered in 5 degrees to clear the rolled fender. Lots of work, but at least it looks, stops and handles bad a**!
