In simple sense its like this. Guys in Japan have done both 25 and 26 swaps. They would not bother with the RB20 because yes there cars already come with a SR which we all know is a 2 liter 4. Plus the RB20 is the bottom of the pile for Nissan inline 6's in the 90's.

Now if any of you thinking your schooling Sam aka Jspec your clueless as hell and probably should refrain from posting.

This thread has run its course, the OP got more questions answered and info than he ever expected. Now you punks are just mucking it up with debate.

Oh and the OP bought one of the cars with the engine in question, so....
MODS Please lock this thread its now a dead Horse!

didn't seem sarcastic to me, i don't know the guy........i don't care about his history.

why the hell are you coming in here defending someone else?

Rb25/26 swaps are still expensive.

reason i came out here to socal is to save some money. (much cheaper COL here, and i was living in a relatively cheap area of yokohama tsunashima)

I only know 2 friends with RB20 swap done and they did
it because they got the motor for free.
both were station in Japan and shops would swap out RB20 and throw them away.
one of them regret doing the swap after the swap cuz he realized how much he has spend
putting it in.
anyway just trying to educate you kids that just because it's a skyline motor
doesn't mean it's good.
try compression test those RB20 and you'll see how low they are due to the age.

See that's the problem with most of you noobs these days. You don't do your research.
Maybe just maybe if you had bothered finding out who you were talking to? I.E. a respected member of the community who has a lot of knowledge.

Before you opened your mouth with your comments?

You might have realized this guy has a lot of knowledge and information I(meaning you ) could benefit from.

I suggest you shut up and start reading. I don't care were you came from or why you came here.

Like I said before this thread is dead it should be closed .
