Quote:Originally Posted by BeauIf you want an S14 240 w/ a swap it'll cost you a minimum of $10,000 and it'll still have the stock turbo. Somebody said the RB20 was an inline six cylinder, that's false. The RB20 is still a 4 banger. Consider this for a moment, where are you going to get replacement parts for an engine that was never imported to America? The SR in DET form was never imported, but at least the DE version was and most parts are interchangable. Doing an RB20 swap is stupid IMO, Go with a KA-T or SR for value or an RB25DET for more power, a sweet 6-cyl sound, and for the looks you'll get when you pop the hood. An SR is capable of all the power you'll ever need, though.

If 15 grand is your limit, then you can build a really nice S14 if you spend your money wisely. Buying a car that was actually imported to the states is a better idea, all of the little things you didn't think about will become a problem when parts start breaking. I didn't take that part into consideration as much as I should have so I'm just hoping certain parts that are hard to find won't break while I don't have a spare car around.

High miles doensn't really matter when you are buying high performance cars. Personally, I think you are best off finding a car with a clean body and blown engine or really dogged out engine. Those cars can usually be had really cheap and the owners are selling them because they think it would be too expensive to repair. Doing a swap in a 240 is basically the same thing, swapping out a basically dead motor for something better. A MKIII Supra, MR-2, RX-7 (FC or FD if you're lucky), maybe a Starion, are about your only other choices. You seem like you don't want an older car, so the Starion is probably out, as well as the AE86. You could always get a Miata and turbo it.

LOL THAT GUY IS AN IDIOT...... I SHOULD REGISTER JUST TO RIP HIM A NEW ONE... BUT I'M ALREADY A MEMBER OF LIKE 40 FORUMS (YET ALL MY TIME IS SPENT ON NICO, I WONDER WHY?). THE RB20 IS A 4-CYL? IT COSTS $10K MIMINUM? NO PARTS ARE INTERCHANGEABLE? PARTS ARE HARD TO FIND? THIS GUY IS A MORON AND NEEDS TO KEEP HIS MOUTH SHUT. THATS IT I'M SIGNING UP.

Haha Beau is on here too... (Im on CSS also if you havent figured it out yet..) Im the one that reccomended him to buy a S13 coupe and a CA18det.. His car is gonna double for a SCCA solo 2 car.. so I think the light, high revving CA along with the lightness(lil bit lighter then the FB) and chassis rigidy of the coupe would make an awesome track car..IMO that is

yeah the ca is my next fav. to the rb,the problem with the s13 chasis compaired to the s14 chasis is the front weight, the s13 doesnt grip as well due to it being lighter in the front, thats why s14's are more oversteer friendly stock then a 13.

the rb20 adds aprox. 200 pounds to the front negating the understeer issues so it will feel alot better on teh track after i fig. what spring rates im going to use after its in

I personally think we should incourage this type of misinformation so that stupid ****s like the one above never touch such a god-send as the 240.

(man is it getting hot in here?) no, that's what we call the flame

yeah... they just cracked me up with thinking that they are all knowing and that the rb is a 4cyl and a pointless waste of money.... i guess it is just a small time group but still i hope i've inspired him to delete the post so he can act like it never happened.

WELL JUST CALLING NISMO RICER FOR SAYING THAT YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE IT UNLESS YOU DO THE WORK OR SAYING THAT AN SR IS CHEAPER THAN A RB20, BECAUSE 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 THE RB20 IS CHEAPER DEPENDING ON YOUR SOURCE FOR THE ENGINE. ITS NOT STUPID ITS JUST A PERSONAL OPINION AND ITS MISINFORMATION, TRUST ME YOUR NOT AS BAD AS THE REST OF THOSE GUYS.
