^^^^^^^^ all swaps are reliable as long as you do it right.. dont do it cheap.. and you do the right maintenance on the car you should not have a problem...and not to drive it like an idiot...

I'm going on three years now and have not had a single major problem accept my original starter going dead on me. And Ben is correct Welcome to the board. This is mostly a FWD board so while you are more then welcome here, there is little to no information on rwd swaps etc.

Buy an M30 and do an RB swap.

Silvia front end is a direct bolt on. Lights, grill, bumper cover, fenders and hood are required.

The GTR front is not something I'm familiar with and can only imagine it's a much bigger pain in the butt. I wouldn't even consider it.

It sucks and never lines up. Just do a Silvia front.

Yes the A/C and PS can be installed on an SR swapped car. It's a lot of work sourcing all the parts and can get a bit expensive. It's no cake walk. That's why so few of them have it. It certainly can be done though.
Swapped 240's show up for sale occasionally with A/C and PS. That is probably going to be a much better idea. I believe one of our Mods have a S13 coupe for sale with the Silvia front end conversion and an SR20 engine and PS. Not sure about A/C though.
The thread is closed, maybe he's keeping it?

Think long and hard about which body style you want (coupe or hatch). I used to like the coupes and wouldn't even consider a hatch. Now after seeing them in person many many times I think the coupes with the Silvia fascia look awkward, and the hatches look amazing.

Your results may vary.

I like the coupes better. I like the box style. just not into spending 11k for a car. would rather build my own. Why is it so expensive to put ac and ps on these cars??
