Yes that is right rupe it's the best way to do it.

but if it's damaged - question how far - damaged.

I've seen recently some damaged R33's -
retailing what about $8K auction (tha'tys sales auction trade in's etc)
So about $12-14K market or less.

I worked out - to buy 2 damaged R33's - repaired shop in shop out and sell I would only make once done include my time on it about $2K

it's not worth it.

$3K for if you can repair it using your current cars parts it's worth it. Because you get a Sp20.

Conversion = no market value.

I've been down it so many times, and conversion where brakes - stud pattern - are different = engineer problem straight up. It won't pass, without it.
As we know you need the G-series Gearbox to come along. driveshafts the list goes on and on.

Repairing the Sp20 now that hmm sounds more interesitng the longer you look into it.

In fact I'm looking into it right now.
finding blown engine SP20 - now that makes it worth droping a FS-ZE into it.
