I think everyone will say do a TTSwap and if that's not in your budget then rebuild.

Hey fruit loop, if you can't handle the intarwebz, grow a thicker skin. Do you really think you're the first person to ask this question?

Rebuild your current engine, JDMs have the same odds of going raw with a Vegas hooker; it can end up ok or really bad. There's your free fish. :chuckle:

Take your lumps and learn. This is quite mild as to what you would see on other boards because "search" is the way to help yourself. Then, everyone else won't mind helping you.

And for future reference, Tony (AKA Big Dog) is one of the more knowledgeable around and is quite helpful. So, why not just say "sorry."

ok first off, im not sayin sorry for anything. if anyone should be saying sorry its tony. i dont care how knowledgable he is, it doesnt give him the right to talk to people like he did me. just cause im a "newb" on this site doesnt mean im a "newb" in the scene or to vehicles in general. and a motor and engine is the same thing, no need to make yourself sound better for trying to correct me. like i said before, if u dont have anything helpful to say, GET OFF MY THREAD

What kind of fairy picks the SN Fruitcity? :wtf2:

Good luck on getting me to apologize, that s*** ain't happenin. If you're not a pneubie to cars or "the scene" you're sure as s*** a pneube when it comes to car forums. Because rule #1 of any car forum... ESPECIALLY A CAR THAT'S 20 YEARS OLD is you search first. Think, "gee, I wonder if ANYONE else was EVER in the same situation I am right now." As Anton said, he made a post like last month about JDM motors and everyone listed their experiences.

TT.net would have had you screaming at your computer like a pre-pubescent blogger, 3ZC would have tore you a new one as well. This IS being nice, see how people are giving you help? You need a thicker skin there Tucan Sam, it's the internet, get used to it. :werd:

Rebuild yours or rebuild the JDM. JDM is gonna have the exact problems or even more sometimes. So yeah cheaper to rebuild your current..

Wow, this thread... Locked for a number of reasons:

1. OP should have used the search function. This topic has been covered at least 50 times in the past 12 months. It's getting old. Seriously.

2.

Nothing good comes from a guy with 10 posts telling one of the most knowledgeable people on the forums to GTF off his thread. Especially when it's you that's breaking basic forum etiquette. I'm gonna sticky the JDM engines thread now, just so noobs like you ******MAY****** read it (doubtful).

3. Getting butthurt like that only calls people out to make fun of you. Trust me, don't go to any other 300ZX site and ask that. You may piss your pants reading their responses.

If you have anything else to bring up to me, feel free to PM me. And for the love of God, search before you go spewing diarrhea threads like this all over again.
