nissan's official reason for the KA motors in US S chassis cars was so that 15 years down the road, retards could buy them, spend assloads of money on swapping over to a motor that came out of a junked car halfway around the world, and have a legitimate reason for doing so, which is...

"because it's a truck motor". (which we all know is entirely false and retarded)

but seriously im not taking any shots at SR owners, i think nissan just generally sucked in general up until about 6 years ago. that and they were skurred of themselves bringing over the CA/SR cars, and failing miserably. granted, the s chassis after 95 failed horribly anyways, but i guess nissan feared since it wasnt a big contender in the US, that it wasnt confident enough to think the sr would win over enough buyers here.

oh well, seems it still turned out alright in the end, it just sucks that end is a $2500 addition for it to happen.

oh and IMO, if nissan was paying attention, they could have realized that if they were stopping production of the Z in 96 (or at least importation of it to the US), they could have brought out the S14 in '95 with an SR in it. it could have failed too, but i figure it would be a worthy shot...and if it would have worked, you never know, nissan might have been able to keep it over here with the S15, and there could even be one in production today...
