Its a 1994 NZ New 200SX. Originally a CA18DET, now has a RB30DET, T56 Masterpower turbo, front mount, BC coilovers etc etc etc. Just needs a ECU wired in and its ready to go.

Very nice

That? Fail? I'd like to see your RC keep up with that on the track!

Presuming the RB30 hasn't been built by monkeys

Well to be honest...i dont think it'll last long, but who knows! They say that the RB30s are great motors. If it does blow, ill just put a RB26 in

It's WIN imo, except the engine, rather go SR, and except the gay'd out engine bonnet scoop, and some of that rangi stuff that goes on in the engine bay.

looks in pretty good shape as well, alot of them are owned by munters

and rb26/30>any sr, any day imo

Anything takes a loooooong time :lol:

. Turbo rebuild on RC = 5 months. Turbo replacement on SW20 = about 10 months and counting :lol:

The RC is officially the first car ive pulled apart and put back together again without losing interest :lol:

Actually, when the engine goes, you should get a quasiturbine au.

im sure mine would give it a honk for its money.. Plus i still think the Lexus was a better keeper when you consider the up and coming ness of both the SW20 and the RC.. Now its 3 cars not 2 that could have some running instability..

Is all im pointing out.. i guess its situational..

Plus the best person to make any such guesstimation on such a thing would be craig himself.. He owns both an RC and the Nissan as well as the fact he has drove my car.

sweet, same as what i got! Happy to help if you need anything

by **Adamal** » Sat Feb 07, 2009 12:31 pm

The problem with the Lexus though is that a lot of the parts aren't interchangable with the Aristo, even though they're based on the same platform.
Makes it real expensive to replace stuff

S13:

1) Pulls mean skids
2) Probably pull some skanks too while doing 1
3) parts are interchangable with a shtload of cars (skylines, silvias, cefiro)
4) Did I mention skids? :O

I had a Silvia before and I loved it, I wouldn't give it a second thought if I have a chance of buying another.

Now just watch out for phantom expanders and car crushers

I love the 31 cam covers - how could you possible say rather go SR?? Ever been in an S13 with an RB? Aside from a little more weight it sounds/looks/goes soooo much better!!! So much fun

by **pjay** » Sat Feb 07, 2009 2:51 pm

only RB worth having is a 26.

Or a monster 30, 26 head
