There's a reason everyone swaps out the engine...

Not wanting to kill your hopes and dreams, but all you can really do with N/As is change headers/exhaust/intake/ignition/earthing/capacity/displacements/timing/gearbox/weight.

Do what you want though. Turbo or N/A, what's it for? Drift?

i just thought having non-u.s. thoughts could have helped especially when it came to the rb motor, considering you guys can have skylines and we don't(it's rare but some do), pretty jealous about that, just wish i could have an r32 and call it a day. thanks for the responses, guess i just have to ponder on it.

Which was Americas way of saying fuck you for Pearl Harbour :whistling:

Not surprising he is asking for info here, we've done more Skylines and Silvias than America has. SR20 conversion is the best thing for your vehicle OP. It's a factory engine, been done plenty of times and there are plenty of parts available.

if you liked it (n/a) you should have put an LS1 on it ;)

(i'm serious for N/A powaaah)

Good point. Lots of alloy chev engines in the USA. The alloy V8s are also lighter than the RB too.

Or go the VQ35DE engine or if really keen go the VQ37.

Yep go a LS1/2. Pretty sure you can get bolt in kits for them in the US (saw them ages ago). Given how cheap they are over there and are a lot lighter than a RB it would be the best choice for something NA and slightly different.

      RH9 R32 GTR Build Thread

      Out of curiosity, how do you cover up the inspection hole? Surely it doesn't sit open like that, right? With grime and dirt coming in and oil going out?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything
