They're more than 25 years old, they're all completely legal:grin:

[wolfgangstbd]

what are the actual rules to what you can import and street legally?
i want a r31, i have an addiction to old boxy cars haha. i heard the engine the r31 had was a pretty good one for nissan too

The RB20? Are you serious? If so, do you have a habit of dribbling a lot when you speak? Do you often paint on the walls with your own poop? Do you find yourself fisting jars of mayonnaise and are attracted to manatees? If so then in your world the RB20DET is a fantastic motor full of wonderful sparkles, glitter, prancing unicorns and happy clouds.

In reality it is nothing but a piece of menstrual slag, slowly sliding down the inner thigh of life. It is a stain on the bedsheet we call Nissan's engineering reputation. It is - in other words - only good for use as a boat anchor or possibly to throw at French people. Sorry Frenchies*.

Why you would bother with an RB20 when there are FAR more superior choices out there is beyond me. An RB25 would be better as a near-stock motor, or if you were going to build something up, grab an RB25DET head and stick it on an RB30 bottom end. You can buy RB30 bottom-ends out here farken CHEAP, too.

Otherwise, just buy a complete RB30ET - it was only ever sold in Australia but it'd be a lot cheaper than buying an RB26 in the USA and rebuilding that, no?








*not really.

i know the rb20 sucks. you need too cool down there. just because you know something doesnt mean you have to write paragraphs telling everyone how wrong they are.

but i confused the r31 with the dr30(fj20det) they look the same.

Do you want a tissue or 20c to call someone who gives a fuck? I wrote that to be light-hearted and humorous. I never thought I'd have to explain that to someone on this forum. What the hell happened to this place?!

PS: the red car is a DR30. The black car is an R31 GTS-R. So you're still wrong. Just thought I'd point that out.

Good read!! I will use bits and pieces of this in the future if you dont mind.

My mind = blown. I NEVER thought ANYONE would put an S14 into another car that wasnt a BMW. For multiple reasons.

[Iain]

Haha, not at all dude, so long as it's used under license :P

Found a couple of my super-tite-yo-VTAK JDM Tommy Kaira rims on my Liberty. Excuse the camera-phone pics.

i was just tired and pissy haha. but im not that familiar with skylines seeing that i dont care about cars that i cant buy in the US. haha

[Iain]

No worries :)

If you like DR30s here is Aussie touring car legend Glenn Seaton driving a DR30 coupe (FJ20DET) around Bathurst in 1987. He was still a novice at this stage and all of a sudden after the race started in hot conditions, it suddenly started raining at the top of the track. Old-school turbo + lag + primitive suspension + slicks + rain = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqszux7F1JA He's doing over 240km/h when it steps out on the straight, too...
