Default what to do....

i am stuck on this one... was supposed to be getting a rx7 this weekend but the guy has pped me around again for the 2nd month...

so i have the s12 half sprayed sat in the drive.... most of a 200sx s13 (engine, loom, box ect)... and am drving a pug 406.... diesel

the s12 needs welding... drivers wing... rear seats and belts... and the engine sorting as it will idle but not rev (well it will rev but dies after u rev it when u try to get it to idle)...

i am trying to decide what to do should i:

Look for another 200sx s14 and keep the s12 to do up over time?
Throw more money at the s12 and get it done quick as poss?
Throw more money as the s12 and fit the engine out of the s13 in it (not sure how to do this or what is needed) and get it done asap?

There is a guide for the ca18det on here have a search and read, see if you think its easy enough, i have done it but i went the tidy way and did the whole relay box for the det, and sorted the rev counter so it works. i would stick with the 12 and go for that option as you have the det laying around and get it running and road worthy and just sort the little things over time when you driving it about

I would go with the det in s12 .

I envy you doski. I made my swap not so tidy (basicly just to make it work), took me ages, and then decide to do all the suspensio and brakes and all the little things also, so its been 2 years and my car is still in the garage

They bolt on if you use S13 lower arms and hubs. Might also want to swap Steering rack so that you can use S13 Track Rod ends as the S12 ones are a pig to get hold of and don't offer as good adjustment with S13 hubs.
