Ok here is an example. There is no way this is a 92' RB20. The intake pegs it as coming out of an R31 Skyline(before 89'), Not sure about the seller, he might have just been mistaken, hope it's nobody here but if you didn't know what you were looking at how would you know it was incorrect. Be smart on these net-buys. There are some sharks out there, I see them in the junkyards every weekend.

inferior intake and computer. R31 190hp, R32 215hp. You can use a 31 engine but the main complaint I had was this guy was claiming it to be a 92' from a R32. At best it's an 88'.
