what?

rb swaps in s30's aren't easy, nor are they cheap. as ^ said, nissangirl74 has an rb25 in her s30 and my swap is currently on hiatus. if the time/dedication, ingenuity, or money aren't within your grasp, don't even bother as you will get let down when the project never comes to fruition. turbo l-series are more feasible on a budget and can be loads of fun.
