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 :D


That little more weight bothers me :P
I don't know, just don't like lazy drifts, and 4 pot is cheaper on spark plugs... I guess........
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

I'd hardly call an RB20 the perfect engine :lol:
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

^^^ Haha, same here. The skyline + engine may be slightly better in stock form (because of AWD etc. on Skyline GTR's), but the JZ Engines are a lot stronger, the RB would break way before a JZ would.

So I take it you had an easier time selling the Lexus than Brad did? :D

It was 100x cooler when i sold it tho :P had .coms on it, and JIC coilovers etc. See it driving round now, since my mate owns it. He keeps it nice and clean and looks so awesome. Being on gravel roads meant i couldnt keep it clean :(

There are heaps of things worth having over either, doesn't make either of them not worth having. I've had my lowly stock RB25DET for over 5 years now and I sure as hell don't look back. Hey I know people who have been through 1JZGTEs and 2JZGTEs, given me shit about having an POS RB, made less power than me and had them fail on them and mine is still ticking on quite happily (touch wood). RBs are fine, its just some of the owners which aren't - like anything.
