What are the chances of having block heaters installed on a Silvia or Skyline?

you can get an inline heater that goes on your rad line. That’s what I did on my sr20det and it works great.

Like the man says, pull or unscrew a frostplug and install a block heater.

i know a rb26 doesnt have them and i believe that also goes for the rb20.

so the inline heater is the only option.

Isn’t there also a heater that sticks to the bottom of the oilpan? I’m not sure how effective that would be, but it’s an option.

ALL engines have frost plugs. Whick means theat you can put in a block heater like any other car. Its ustt not the screw in kind. It will cost you like $40 at any machine shop. There just press fit kind thats all.
