I've had a talk with allen but at the moment they arent really shiiping parts into the counrty they prefer to have the parts bought and installed in japan. As far as particular parts im aiming at getting a rb25 swap but i alreaady have some sources for that. also im looking into getting a fmic, injectors, maybe a turbo, manifold, etc. Pictures can be found here. http://www.jdmconnection.ca/STOCK2018.html

The car wont be here until march 2006 :( its the shits waitin but hey means i dont have to deal with storage this winter.

for the money you are going to spend on rb25 you can just do the up the rb20 even better. but wtf do i know im pissssssed. more skylines for lethy yay!lol

[minime1209]

well im goin 25 so iu dont have to spend a fortune upgrading the 20's internals. I might even go 26 but only if a good deal comes along. One of these days i gotta beat chris so we'll c wut happens maybe rb30?!?!

I would say there are about a million things you should do to your car before an rb25 swap. Fmic, manifold, turbo, exhaust, and downpipe are all generic to the 25/20 so you might as well start by doing all of those things, and then when once you've done those, go with the swap, just because im not sure how much cash you have, but an rb25 swap is gonna cost you in the neighbourhood of 5K if you get it done by someone else, and for 5k you can have a hell of an rb20. Your also gonna want to do a clutch when you do the swap, because the stock one (although it is good) will crap out eventually. Injectors for the rb20, id go with some gtr injectors (they swap right in and are 440's) and they will take you to the max out of a stock internal'ed rb20, with the 25 any aftermarket injector that works for sr20 will work for rb20 (series one rb25 anyway). Autodream is pretty much your best bet for getting parts, considering that the only way to get parts through lon is having bought a car from him (which you should have done cause we could have decked the car out in japan for you saving you the trouble of finding parts now but w/e). Also, fmic's are generic, you just buy a intercooler and either make piping yourself, or get it made by myself, robb, or allen (which im sure we would be happy to do for a price). Also, considering you are now going to be the 3rd black skyline in town.....blitz wheels are strictly prohibited. Just so you know. :)

nope nope no bltiz for mee goin bbs bronze of some black with a fat chrome lip. gunna get some fresh paint on here next semester then i think ill do the swap. The engine has about 126k km so im a lil worried about modding the engine to much i would prefer modding an engine with low that i can trust not to explode in my face. ya know?!

[RB25DET]

Yeah, thats the reason i did my swap (and because it cost me next to nothing to get done in japan), because even though my car was stock, with only 60 000 km on it, i knew i wanted to drift and drive the shit out of my car, and the rb25 had 25K on it and it is easier to achieve my horsepower goal more reliably. If i were you right now, id get the car here and get a compression and leakdown test done and if all is good just start getting the basics done, then go for the swap if you still want to. Another thing to keep in mind is that if you do blow your rb20, its only gonna cost you like 1000 max to pick up a new bottom end and head (minus tranny and harness, etc) so you could blow up 5 rb20's (swapping an rb20 for an rb20 is a piece of cake) for the price of one rb25 swap......haha......

[minime1209]

Well i have a source where i can get an rb20 with about 40 000km on it for about 1500$ thats not an exact figure but its right around there. That would be including harness, ecu the works. I could probably get it cheaper with out tranny. While an rb25 would cost me about 2800 with around 60 000 k on it. Then i gotta factor in the install. I can manage the rb20 myself but the 25 i wouldnt even try to do that on my own. But for the money im thinkin i might as well stick with the 20. Im just worried about the limitations i.e the fact thats its only a 2.0L while on the other hand the 25 is half a litre more. Im plaanin on mkain this the one that all the mustangs roll up beside and think man i can take that shit then shazzzam all they see is them for round tailights pointin and laughin back at them. I might consider the occasionally drift session but i dont them im gonna get to hardcore into that.By the way chris wuts yur e-mail?!
