seaaarch yo.SR20 has an A$$LOAD of aftermarket because everyoen and their mom does one-im not exactly sure about the RB20...but again search lolit depends on what your goals are, the RB is an cast iron block so it can handle much higher HP, but the SR is lighter and many claim it is pretty damn strong for aluminum-people have made over 400hp with it

everyone will tell you to use the search button and do some research-it helps alotgood luck man

stock for stock..the sr is faster then rb20..the rb20 seems to be the redheaded step child that came in the skylines.

With the sr..you can pretty much replace all the parts on it from your local auto store/dealership

i was also looking at the 350z vg35de with the 6 speed, i think that will fit in my car as well. but it costs about a $1000 more. but i really like the v6. what do you guys think is the best thing to do.

Well thats really up to the owner..what plans do you have for the car and what do you want the car to do?

If your looking for an easy swap that falls right in and gives good power..do SR.

as for the 350z swap..thats going to be more of a hassle then you might want to take on.
