Question Does it fit?

I was wondering if you can swap an R-34 engine into an S-13 without too much trouble? Would it slide right in... or am i going to have to bend over backwards to get this thing in. Does this apply to all skyline engines? What engine is easier to get in therer. Thanks!

you just need mounts for an RB20. I have them for like $250, so its a really good option to consider when you look at the prices of an SR, or CA. If youhave any more questions email me: iroc_07@yahoo.com

Thats a good deal. cant you stick KA trans internals in that tranny? I thought I heard that somewhere. It might have been SR stuff that would work, who knows?????
I wasnt saying that an RB is cheaper than a CA, I just meant that all you really need is mounts, so parts shouldnt be something to scare people away from an RB.

yea i understood about the rb. it was not only parts for me though i would have to get my whole frame reinforced. i didnt have the money for that. uhm if it is a CA manual tranny u take the KA guts and swap the bell housing from the CA. Im just getting a CA tranny and keep my KA for a back up. You can also use a sr flywheel. its better and lighter.

why go through the trouble, if u want to go that big just go with a rb26dett or better yet 25dett . the g35 is no match for either to be honest, at least not the usdm motor. but man for both a 26 and a 25 in a 240 is work no matter what.

also skylines have been out for a while, so u are not going to find to many crahsed g35's

biggame- they arent that bad. you should come up to the shop and watch me put one in some day. If you know what you need and have it ahead of time its no big deal.
