There is a company that advertised in the current issue of "Sport Compact Car" that provides that service. I have the issue at home, if I remember I'll post it. If you don't see it posted here, e-mail me to remind my lazy azz.

Yeah. Btw you could always buy a used 200ZX or whatever the Silvia was called over here, and order the Silvia powerplant for it.

RIGHT!!!

Yes, you can get a 240SX (the U.S. spec Silvia) and swap in a SR20DET Spec R motor easily. You can also purchase JDM body parts and stuff too. I think this month's SCC is dedicated to S14 and S15's. i think they said you could build one for under $5000, but I haven't read the mag and I don't think I believe it either. I wouldn'y mind building an S15 Silvia, but first, I gotta work on my JDM EG Civic HB, with B18C5 and LSD, mmmmm....

Peace

Thanks for all the replies. I never thought about going the route of swapping engines for a silvia. Appreciate it. Peace.
