I really don't have a word. I'm just using certain racing techniques. Not usually found used in the import world. When done, I'd let people drive it. So they could decide for themselves.
I have not said it would handle like a sr swap, but It will be heavier not nose heavy though, all over heavy.

I've been in my Girlfriends mkiii supra, when she drifted a turn at 90. No it wasn't a slight turn, It was pretty sharp 90 degrees. In my book thats pretty good. Cause that was a right turn, and 20-30 feet later she took the left at 65. Reason for slow down was entering neighborhood. And I think an already 3600 pound car with little power 232 flywheel hp. And me as a passenger another 200 pounds wouldn't help. Now if she can do that in a stock suspension, well it had upgrades to engine< ecu, downpipe>. So a little more power then stock but not much.But if she can do that, I think I could do about the same. I dont even care if it can do that. As long as her camaro z28, doesnt lose me in the turns. Thats all I care about. And not bashing Domestics, but most imports can beat them in turns. So if it gets sloppy as you say I should atleast beable to keep up with her.

 

P.S nico?? Apparently I skipped over the site in search for knowledge. But hey there probably was a reason for that too.

 

Well then lets continue this conversation after you actually have a car in real life, not one thats 'gonna be made' jk

 

Wow lets not go low here. I've got the cash, and can easily get an s13. But I'm waiting for an s14, to come through the dealer auctions. Going tomorrow to look. It'll save me money in the long run, don't ask me how. Not sure but it will. <lol> It's all good I think all nissan guys/gals should get along. And for me I am, just a debate of information thats all. It's fun, I've been on here for awhile lurking. And I've gone to the meets, and track days. Just don't talk to anyone. Maybe I figure doing this will get me more comfortable with the crowd. I'm very talkative when comfortable. But when I don't know people I don't talk. Maybe when the car comes together. We could hang, and talk. Till then I'll lurk.

Wow just looked at the time, I guess I'm going today to look.

 

I had this attitude before as well.. but the hammer never happened... I had all the money in the world, but its not done till its done..



I kick myself every day for trying to be different and do a Z31... I shoulda listened to matt from the start and I'd of gotten somewhere good

 

 

Didn't wanna hit nerves guys, just wanted to set it straight. That it is more than possible to have a handling 240, with RB power. No it won't handle as well as an all drift car, nor will it be as stiff as an all drag car. Thanks for the support on this guys <looking for it, where is it? "oh well i give up"> Ok nice little chat.

 

Damn, went to the girls then to work and look what I missed. Slash, its not nessacarily to be "different". Will you if you did the swap, of course. I am glad this debate has for the most part stayed within decent boundries and didnt stray from the original questions. But I am curious, and this may WAY off, but IMHO, is swapping the RB into a 240sx comparable to swapping in a say....H22a into a CRX or Civic?...or is it different in terms of weight distribution? I'm sure the FWD and RWD may make a difference as well. Im not soley stuck on the RB, I've just been reading around looking for questions...knowledge is good. And though NICO might not be the sharpest tool in the shed, there are people on there that have done the swap and are completely satifised, and have no problems...so they say. Anyhow, I was just looking for info, and I got what I needed. Thanks to all who contributed with useful answers and not garbage.

 

Oh a side not, why does everyone say go with the redtop 13 rather than the black top(like Vapors) or even a S14 motor? Is it because of price and availability?
