well BMW is out of my league...even if i scored a nice for cheap it would not be in the prime engine years...meaning highmileage and what not so lets get off the BMW situation for a bit

OK i have done some research with some drift racers but unfortunetly they had to get off the phone due to being out of town but i am left with a question

i see these 90-93 nissan-skyling r32 rb20det (front clip) 210hp selling relatively CHEAP...cheaper than redtop s13 sr20det? NOw i am also aware that alot of 240 owners use the redtop because like the guy above said, "budget" and its a cheap way for motor swap...Now whats deal with the old skyline motors aka rb20det? i know the newer style skyline swaps are semi popular but relatively expensive and most say for the money saved on buyiing a sr20det the extra money can go into the sr20det internals and be better than rb25det...

so the question is...besides the STATS on the rb20det any reason so cheap and why people dont use them that much?


2.) above, someone who replied to my initial question made the comment of someone buying a s14 240sx in the sole purpose of swaping the engine, is an idoit....im new to the nissan world hence being in toyota supra world for 7 years...so whats so bad about the newer 240sx for a buildable chasis project car???

thats it guys

thanks for the few who reply
