If you want the best, and I mean utter best meaning no comparison and is just like driving a brand new sr20det straight from factory Nissan itself...Marco at SR20Store (sr20store.com)Just dont expect some 3-4k price on a s13 sr swap.

otherwise RnD Factory in Montebello pretty common/ popular, and I can vouche for them.

for RnD, I called around when I wanted to have my car duno tuned and their "nissan specialist" had no clue what he was talking about so I decided to steer clear of them

dyno tuned? but they don't have a dyno there... but yeah, I've heard good stuff and bad stuff from RnD. Luckily, my vouche was good...

but if you want your car dyno tuned... SR20store is the place to go... they do everything from rebuilds and machine work (bore, hone) to tuning and installments. Everytime I swing by there, I see heavy duty track cars.I have heard nothing but good stuff from SR20Store

I've been to look at both shops, good to hear this about marco's shop cause i want something that is going to last for a long time. with this work, i am not sure if it is true, you get what you pay for?

when i talked to RnD at formula D or d1 (i forgot) i asked them what they do about the power steering if its a 89-90 and the guys response was "wE JuZ bEnd tHaT Sh1T tILL iT WorX Yo!" (seriously) also, they had some diffs for sale and they didnt know what the final drives were or what a final drive was....

dont think ill go there....

Check out Machine Tune in Gardena. They build some crazy cars over there, and I'm gonna have them take care of my SR swap in my 510 when the opportunity comes around.

i like going to RnD if anything goes on my car, thats the first place i go. every one is koo. as for swaps? i know they have good prices, but thats about it.

there is this place in Alhambra called R1 Motorsports (ask for RAY) he did a sr20det (redtop) on a 91 S13 HICAS (brother in-law) 3k... drive in and drive out. bullstt aside he did take long but he does lots of cars and is only one man. real down to earth person.

I talked to the guys at gdimension and the person I spoke with had no clue what he was talking about it that helps.
