looks like i'll be driving then

its cool Shane i dont need a new engin yet.... do you need me to show you how to put a radiator cap on??

s14 motor (WAS).. clearance is the same as any sr20 silv.. so about 3inchs i think.... well i could fit my hand there... but after the accident.. there was no clearance.. the tunnel was squashed down to the gearbox lol.

do me proud son!

he He he.... i will

with the rb20 in the sil ther is like only an inch of clearence with the gear box droped...

but i did get sum interesting advice and am considering changing my engin to a RB26 now to find one and some cash...

[Bunta]

i take it you're referring to your work limit?

Indeed

what new one???

lol.. don't speak to me like htat silvia brother!

lol ah well.. email it is!

Indeed

find urself a 2j and a getrag lee and u'll be set!

[phatboi2010]

go a 2j, better engine

as sif bring up which is a better option... thats only your oppinon and like an areshole everyone has one...

you should have put one in the gtr. you would have had less problems

lee, 2j IS a better engine. there is no opinion about it, its common knowledge. 2j is better built in almost every way. the rb26 is good, but unreliable. look at all the gtr's on this forum and count the number on the road. there is actually a workshop in brisbane that will do the swap for you no probs, they have mounts and everything already made up.

that's what i found when i did my first build up.. every man and his dog had an opinion, and almost every one of them talked absolute shit lol

just go with your gut, you'll thank yourself later!

Sigh I got a parking ticket.

Teh gays.

Man can you imagine being a parking inspector?

"So what do you do for a living?"

"Oh I hand out fines for people who have left there car in one place for too long"

Gah.

i wouldnt suggest a 2j conversion for lee, its a bit costly, and really only useful in a straight line. it would overweigh the front of the car, ruining the weight balance.

stick with the rb20 lee and put a little bit of money into it. you dont need a lot of power to go up a mountain fast.

look at lowering the weight and balancing the car, you'll have just as much fun then. thats my opinion anyway

dont worry mike i looked into doing a 2j in the gtr, but if i was to keep the awd (which i wanted to) there woulad been too much custom work on the sump. give u an idea, the 2j has a stepped sump, the front section being 130mm wider than the bottom of the gtr block.

yeah i know, i saw someone trying to do one a while back, ending up scrapping the project because of the amount of money it would cost. in a silvia though, it would be much easier

have u seen the weight figures between the motors? it'd be interesting to see, caus i doubt theres much between them

There a a few people who build engines for a living that can describe many reasons why the Rb26 makes a better engine in a full tilt application. There is a thread on it here in which SK describes why and I had heard the exact sentiments before

As a mild tune engine the 2j is awesome...as a "race" engine the 26 is better according to these engine builders

got linky to said thread?

i wasnt serious, sif lee could afford a 2j conversion

have u seen the weight figures between the motors? it'd be interesting to see, caus i doubt theres much between them

no there isnt, but every little bit counts on corners. when my new car arrives i will show you what even the slightest of balance adjustments can do.

that all comes down to opinion really. whether you can afford a full blown race engine or not. if we are talking one that gets rebuilt every few races then maybe, i'd go the rb26. but for reliability i'd pick the 2j.

i think we should stop this argument, remember what happenend on boost cruising when we did this on purpose?

Do I look like someone that charitable?

Nah I would get it for you but I have to be stingy on how often i refresh!
