I dobut anyone on here is going to have an RB20 longblock… Japanstar might have one… but why go thru all that trouble to put an inferior motor to the 25/26 in your car?? Spend a little more and get an rb25 n call it a day that or SR20 swap it ---

FUCK SR man. 25 & 26 are quite a bit more expensive. If I can get a solid block for $350-400 thats way easier cuz I have EVERYTHING else. But I do need an R32 ECU and a jumper harness ---

LOL! I know steve likes SR’s even thou he busts pplz balls cause hes got an RB… but may I ask why you dont like the SR20? Seems like everyone who hates them seems to think its not cool to have one because everyone else has one or has never had experiance with them… or both which i would think is your case Theres a reason a lot of people do SR swap… not just for the cool factor ---

Yes, the SR bandwagon is one reason. I DO know that is a motor we can get parts for here in the US. Buttttttt i love the reaction i get…“You have a SKYLINE engine???” Its sick. The rarity is apealing. There IS information (all the information I need) to do the swap and maintain/repair the motor correctly. I like 6 cylinders lol The extra lil bit of torque turns me on. My ULTIMATE goal (and Steve or anyone else if you take my idea you getz killlllllled) is to mate an RB26 to an RB25 tranny and stuff it into a RHD conversion S13 convertible with NO rust on the damn thing. Of course it will get the usual things (driveshaft, bigger turbos and manifolds and exhaust and injectors blah blah blah) but That is just wishful thinking on my income. But I have something to shoot for. ---

lol I was gonna say…LIAR RB30’s were ONLY in Australia!!! And I don’t think Japan got convertibles either :)~ There aren’t enough products on the market to mak a 20 spin that high. Tomei is the only company I found to make good cams and they are Street cams and valve springs. And engine management is a nightmare. AEM EMS and Apex-i Power FC. Neither of which are easy to use and BOTH are like $1400 when I can get a complete engine from Japan Star for $800. I called tonight. ---

Of course it will get the usual things (driveshaft, bigger turbos and manifolds and exhaust and injectors blah blah blah) but That is just wishful thinking on my income. But I have something to shoot for. Well as much as I applaud you wanting to be unique… Your going to punch yourself in the cock when you want moar power or want to do certain things and you cant because your motor is a pain in the cock to get anything for. If you at least had a RB25 there is quite a few more things out on the market and its getting easier and easier to get overnight parts from japan to do anything you want. Basicly I belive you picked an inferior motor due to its poor aftermarket capability here in the states and the capability to get them in general even from japan. Your going to end up sinking more money into getting this pile running which IIRC it never ran correctly in the first place? Then be very upset when you want to do moar with your RoadRace car and wont be able to.\ And if you dont want to do things to your car weather it be an SR20 or RB25 or Stupid clear fucking tail lights because everyone else is well… You have a lot to learn. Thats like me saying im not going to put an LSD in my car cause everyone does that and I want to show how much of a stubborn douchebag i am and rock my open diff everywhere Oh RB30 in a Z31… Its happening here in the states… its going to be the tits and im going to steal the car kthxbye [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wtb-rb20det-longblock-and-r32-ecu/244936.md?page=2)
