agree to that. RB blocks are built like tanks. low amounts of mods can lead to HUGE power increases, then u got ur attesa system which keeps you out of the woods.

the sr20det has indeed been around for a while and is a very popular engine in many cars. its very tunable, very well built and has lots of aftermarket support. this is why its chosen. more importantly silvias are actually very good and very balanced cars. so people just choose them.

not saying the Z isnt good but for the cost of an old silvia is just very cheap any ole guy can pick one up and slowly add mods to it and grow to love it. and its lighter and more nimble than say a 300zx.
