there are plenty of people who have done rb20/25/26 conversions in 180's/s13's that have sr20's..look to ns.com for the amount of threads on it. As to why a person with an R34 would put in an sr20, maybe for revs or weight distribution aid for track work? Who knows...why do some people put rb20's into calais instead of changing their rb30 head to twin cam..or even just modify the rb30? Because they do, maybe he wanted to be different? Bottom line i've seen more people put rb's into 180's/s13's than sr's into skylines etc. Try modifying an sr and an rb...dollar for dollar I think I know which one would produce the results. Otherwise we'd see many more cars with sr20 conversions (in cars other than nxr's and pulsars) :P

lol..

let me see.. i dnt knw anyone who has replaced ther SRwith and RB.. replaced a CA with an RB yes.. but never an sr.. correct me if im wrong.. but they like to use the CA18 S13 to put rbs in... yes cause the CA tail shaft fits nicely into the RB20 box..

also i believe ther is a green R34 GTT with a SR20 running around brisbane.. care to explain old chap..?

well name a RB powered car that didnt weigh around 1400kgs..

RB are cast iron blocks. heavy...

SR alloy.. booyah..

less weigh to push around.

Luke's green one... He had a built sr20 from his green S13, and thought why not. Last time I spoke with one of his business partners he was under the impression Luke said he should have just stayed with the Neo rb25 and not wasted the time in converting. Then again the built SR was already there..

Alloy isn't good in huge horse power motors... Then again it's not like we're talking 800hp+ here. The SR cam oil squirts are a poor design as well.

I can name a RB powered car that doesn't weigh 1400 kg mine weighs 1290kg with a near empty tank and all fluids according to the weigh bridge :P

and that makes pwned on two accounts so STFU ha ha :P

By the way I am making a a RB84 by running two patrol bottom ends with Tomei RB26 heads on a common crank

alright that's it!

I didn't want to resort to this but it seems as though I'll have to.

Twin RB56 joined at the base subaru style.

It's a RB112 Quad cam, twin crank, opposing 12 cylinder engine. It uses a 13B turbo to crank it over and an SR20 for A/C

I mean, SR is good for something right?

Hey don't dish the two flies and a flea, I have one at home...puts out 300hp so leave it alone, its old and has feelings.

Great thread guys, made my day...

Oh and for the record an RB26 weighs more than a twin turbo LS1, but yet makes less power and torque...go figure...no replacement for displacement...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
