Rb20det S12

[Draconis]

Hi. I'm from the US and have a 1987 S12/200sx. I just recently accomplished a RB20DET swap into it. Thing is, the RB never came in the US stock, so finding information and help is all but null and void up here. I've been on this forum and Skylines Downunder in an attempt to find information. Unfortunately for whatever reason, I cannot register on the other forum nor can I get a hold of the admin. Anyway, I hope you guys like the swap and car. Feel free to give me advice on what I should do with the RB.

Thanks for the help!

Cheers!

ncie car mate. dunno about the various badges though. S12s are slowly gettinbg popular here, mainly with the cheapskate drifters.

Nissan Silvia GTR??

rb20 is about as far from a gtr engine you can get in a skyline (32-34)

but looks nice

What do you want to know about the injectors? are you tuning another ecu to run the RB20?

PM me what you need to know and I will pm you back

BTW get the GTR off it

I havent seen an S12 look that good before.

PS: The paint needs a bit more blocking out with sand paper as its easy to spot the orange peel.

Dunno about the rest of you guys, but I don't think my local coppers here in Perth wouldn't take too kindly to that number plate location... Nice ride though! Probably one of the nicest S12's I've seen. You need an RB26 to get away with badging it "GTR," however

Actually it is a RB20DET. I'll be getting rid of the GTR badge on the engine and going with something like Silvia RS-X or Silvia RB

Coppers arent all that thrilled with my number plate there... but for the most part, if you drive nice, there's no problems. They dotn bother unless they are anal or bored.. or if you are driving retarded.

As for the orange peel, you have a good eye. LOL The paint job was only $1600 last summer and it still looks pretty good today. But you do get what you pay for. But I have to say, for $1600, it came out pretty good. I'll be getting another one in the upcoming years done right this time and it will cost a little bit of $$ too.

Yeah sorry, when I said RB20 I meant RB20DET not the RB20DE

Nice Gazelle... how do you find the weight of the RB in a smallish car though? And how come you didn't go with a more traditional CA18DET (or even SR20DET) swap?

Feels a lil wierd seeing the steering wheel on the wrong side of an RB

Still... nice work and nice pics! Welcome to SAU.

Oh and in one of the stickers... shouldn't the WWW and ORG be swapped around?

Well, a friend of mine was putting it on and messed up. He started putting it on backwards. It was originally: www.aus12.bb2.org. But when they moved the site, they ditched the 'bb2', so I had to cut the decal up. he took it and started to together and this is what happened. He was like, 'crap!'. I said, just continue. It will be like the JDM decals where they are backwards on one side... but backwards but readable to us. Iono, it was the closest save I could come up with.
