IN THE NEWEST ISSUE THEY SAID THAT THE RB20DET IS RATED AT 215PS AT THE FLYWHEEL, SO THIS EQUATES TO 288HP. WOW I AM MAKING THAT MUCH MORE POWER STOCK AGAINST AN SR? SWEET BEST MONEY EVER SPENT.

???To me it means the RB20 makes 212HP at the flywheel..

You're thinking of KW.

kW x 1.360= PSkWx 1.341= HP

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS x 0.7355= kWPS x 0.9863= HP

ITS OK, I'M JUST GETTING REALLY PISSED AT MAGAZINES LATELY. THEY ALL HAVE THIS 240SX HARD-ON AND THEY WANT TO EXPOSE ALL THE SECRETS OF OUR BELOVED CARS.

SCC can jump in a hole! ive gotten screwed on my pricing b/c of it......in turn screwing the customer. im PO'd with that whole thing...... and im a business man myself. i cant offer a stable price due to this and i myself dont believe you should have to give up a kidney to get a motor but now that the mags are droppping it left and right prices go up on that sole reason. Same thing for F&F with NOS and all the other stuff. Notice ebay ads had advertised everything with F&F in the title to make the extra buck.
