Ichiban, ekw, rolin imports, just jap, sss automotive, stz automotive, there are a few other good places... I am also looking for a RB20det, to put in to an r31, so if anyone has any recomendations, please go on....

[foznice]

just out of curiosity, why did you decide to buy an Rb20 over an SR20 like most silvia/180 drivers who convert from CA's?

wat???? i will spend up to 1900 if the engine is good will pay more if someone can install it for me cheaply

[Mulkers]

no, i meant that beacuse of money, rb20s are becoming popular engine swaps for s13s, as opposed to SRs, which are generally double the price

[fluent]

yes, sr20's are quite overvalued/priced atm thanks to supply/demand and a lot of people are going rb20

But we all know SR20 > RB20 *runs away from the skyline enthusiasts*

Try the Toyshop in Newcastle, they have 2 in stock.

rb in silvia = bad weight balance

[foznice]

I see... well that sucks.. if some of the demand for SR20's shifts to RB20's.. then the price of RB20's goes up.. that means engine parts go up.. grrrrrrr

u have a pm

[DriftSquad]

yeah but then sr20 will go down... then we can all quickly buy them n fit into our skylines!!! mwhahaha its a plan! get the word out

Watch out about this, don't be tempted by the lower price of RB20 over SR20. That

might sound good on it's own, but the cost is considerably higher to put the RB20

into the engine bay of a CA18/SR20, I don't think anyone's mentioned this point

yet...

What you save in engines you might lose in installation. A bit of custom work is

involved in doing an RB -> SR/CA conversion, whereas an SR20 swap over a CA18

is relatively much easier and cheaper to do.

So, bear that in mind, but if you're still keen, I love your enthusiasm! B)

Well, I know of a few, but they're all in Adelaide. If you're that keen on having an

RB20, then do it. No use saving a few bucks if you're not happy with the result.

If you're willing to get one from Adelaide, try the following places:

Z Imports

Jap Parts

Adelaide Jap

D1 Garage

Autotech Imports

Good Luck!

i am in brisbane

cash waiting still

so you've tried rolin and Asian autospares up here? and no go? they usually have a couple.

I've got my engine in my car.. but i am going on holidays till mid-jan. End of jan could talk if you haven't found one. Would be engine loom+ecu+engine for around $1000.
