I wasn't saying you were an aussie, the dumb guy who OniS14 quoted is. I said Japan>America, because they shipped us shit engines in the early 90's. (because they were still mad about that whole Hiroshima, and Nagasaki thing.) This discussion has been held as many times as the "Which is better KA/SR?" discussion. If you wanna know why they sent us those engines...have somebody write nissan, and then we'll be able to get a real answer...we're all just guessing, and putting our oppinions and ideas of why they did it. they would give you the real and only reasons for the engine change.
