Z34drifty · 08-14-2011, 01:26 AM

Car's going to look awesome when done can't wait! Motivates me to work on mine again.

docaam · 08-14-2011, 04:10 AM

Thanks guys Im really excited as well.

I bought the car as a mid project from a guy in California last month he is still working on few things and then the shell is scheduled to ship to dubai next week.

I am torn between RB25DET or SR20DET both engines had their own plus points, it will be finalized soon and hopefully by the time car reaches here (6 weeks) engine will be done.

Will keep the updates and built posted

christian370z · 08-14-2011, 08:19 AM

RB all the way. That engine is one of the best sounding and smoothest engines ever made in my opinion, but you can't go wrong with the extra torque from the SR either.

roplusbee · 08-14-2011, 09:06 AM

The RB25DET and RB26DETT are awesome motors for their time period. With a single turbo setup, you can easily make nice power and have close to stock spool characteristics. I am not a fan of the SR20DET, but I had a CA18DET and felt that it was not an inferior motor in comparison. I felt that the rocker arm setup in the SR was kinda crappy, but can be corrected with the proper upgrade parts.

I'll be watching dude.........

Excited to see another car done right aamir!

definitionxmk · 08-14-2011, 01:33 PM
