im interested to find out how expenisive it would be to get parts for an older skyline. im lookin into buyin one but realized it might be kinda expensive to maintain. Is there anywhere around the city that deals with skyline parts or anythin like that

If you get the part numbers (readily available online) you can take them down to Cam at Sunridge Nissan, He'll order them for you. I've been living with a daily driven RB for a year and a bit now and I have no regrets, other than I should have gotten a RB25 instead of an RB20!

Check out www.nissaninfiniticlub.com and look in the skyline section. There's alot of guys running around with RB's out there so it's a pretty solid resource.

no parts are very easy to come by now...most companies have them in stock..companies like RB motoring and skyeservice can do 1-3 day shipping on most parts...also kevvie88 why not get the tomei rb20 stroker crank u can use the stock rods and have the rb22?

Prices on Nissan parts from JDMland are roughly the same as North American cars. just picked up an OE timing belt from Sunridge for my RB20DET for 67$ canadian.

I'll import you a nice 1979 DR30, under the US 25 year rule if you want. Or maybe a 1979 RX-7?
