'91-'94 S13 redtop/blacktop is the same. '96+ blacktop has minor changes through out the motor, biggest change though was just the ecu.

 

yeah i know the red top is older .. but i mean i dont think it'll be a prollem for me b/c i'm not gonna boost the hell out of it or anything crazy like that.. and for the price i think it's alot better deal.. not to mention the warranty and all that.... but i wanna know why you think i should get a full clip...i mean i dont really want a silvia front or anything so i mean what would i need it for .. am i missin sumthin??? will the clip come wit sumthin i need for my second baby

 

If you're not doing the swap yourself there is absolutely no benefit to you to get a full clip.

if u just get the engine set..u will still need a lot more parts to get it up and running, ie wiring harness, gauge cluster(if u want), ecu. I would just really rather go for a front clip cus theres a 99% chance that its got evrything u will need for the swap, even if u dont do the front conversion.

 

He's having the swap done for him. If there are parts missing, the shop will have to come up with them before they get paid for a complete job.

If he were doing the swap himself the clip would probably be worth the money just to protect the oil pan. Since he's not and he gets a warranty, it's really none of his concern how the motor is packaged.

go0d luck with evrything man hope it all goes smoothly

 

i really appreciate everything yall tellin me.. yeah i'm gettin it done .. and i asked him specificly if that 2600 was for the price of me to drive out of the shop and he said if all you want is the swap for 2600 then thats all it cost and you will drive out of here... but i added the front mount ,fuel pump and all that .. they know alot .. showed me a book with other sr20's they had done.. and told me to come watch them race.. so i think they really know and dont just show they cars they actually run them.. get what i mean.. like they back up their stuff at the track.. but anyways.. i think i'll be ok.. plus he said i can go over and watch and help.. just so that i'm familiar with the engine.. since i dont know crap about it .. anyways peaceeee pimps and playas

 

thats awesum that they will actually let u in and help and let u understand the engine a lil more, not many shops will around here i think

 

i think it's koo too.. i mean it's not like i'mma take some of the price away.. just want to be able to talk about my car and know whats really goin on rather than just be a shop baby and always let ppl do all the work.. i just dont have the means to do it right now .. but anyways.. i'm feelin good about this shop.. i'm really glad i went.. oh and one quick ? .. how many miles will most motors have from japan?? like i figure around 40 or 50k right ?? man i cant wait

 

yea they usually have 40-55k on them. Sometimes more, sometimes less.

 

all i got to say is PIMP!!

 

Tell me if I'm wrong, but when you buy a front clip (assuming you're going to do an sr20det) you get the fenders and headlights and everything you would need to do the headlight conversion (S13)? Because if I were to do a swap like that, I might choose the sr20 as opposed to the rb20 just because of the fact that you get the headlight conversion. But if you don't get the all the parts to do a headlight conversion, I would rather go with the rb. So tell if I'm wrong. Thanks

Clips are hit or miss as to the body parts they come with. Usually the fenders, if still on the clip, will be damaged from strapping the clip to the pallet it's shipped on.

-Justin

 

yea it would be rare to get the full headlights, fenders and such. u might be able to get the lights and fenders, but not in the greatest condition. My RB clip just came with the fenders, and part of the headlights The fenders are in bad condition to0.

 

So where would you go to get the fenders, lights, and bumper to do the silvia front end conversion. I think my dream would be to have an rb20 swap and the s13 front end conv. with a skyline style front aftermarket bumber and those cool projector lights that a lot of the s13 conv. have. But yeah, the real question is where would you go about getting the parts?
