there is also tiger japan, but IMO i would stay away from them, Japan Direct is where i had purchased my front clip and i had no issues. When buying the motor tho obv inspect it for what may be problems. Oil leaks and such. Good luck finding a motor and happy boosting 🙂 ---

avoid Diamond … we tested 2 of their SR’s and both had low compression. Get it from Toronto Jdm ---

getting a clip is pretty pointless in my opinion for an SR, unless maybe its a silvia clip since you get the front end. Your money though. ---

diamond is shit… all sr’s there are blown bad compression on all cylinders the guy will try to put oil in the cylinders…to make them read higher… the best place i found was toyko autoparts… I got my frontclip for 1700 delivered to my house 165 compression on all cylinders , 59,000km too ---

go inspect the motor urself i got my sr from tokyo like 2 years ago and it is running strong even today. i spent 1700 at the time aswell but not a front clip. i guess sr’s have gotten much cheaper. install into a s13 is a breeze. the hardest part is wiring, which is easy. ---
