Pass? To overpriced? 240sx help rb20det

[DKnissanman]

here it is:
1991 240sx rb20 (http://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/3999818250.html)

Now I have never owned one but wasl ooking for a sr20... like this: 1991 240sx sr20 (http://jacksontn.craigslist.org/cto/3988107207.html)

the questions comes down to who seems more reliable?

I talked it over and the rb guy built it with help and seems to have everything good to go except wiring..plugs...which he is doing this weekend
without it done:5500
with it:7000


now 1500 for some wiring? I mean yeah its work but I was gonna try for 6k-6500?>

My overall standing question is: Is this even worth it?
6k let alone 7k is quite abit for 200k chasis and 40k rb20det or is it?


Rb25 in a heartbat but rb20 seems to have a bad rep in most places, yet he has upgraded some parts.


Im a noob to this engine and mainly a car in general. I can look at it but its 1.30 hours away and need a good price point from a trusted community.

Thanks, and please don't belittle me, I am a noob with cars, Im just seeking advice.

[No 240.. No id]

This guy is on this form LOL

[DKnissanman]

Yeah I know, I didn't know where to go, move me I just didn't know.


also,


rb20det- seems more exspensive to maintain? not good for drifting?

sr20det- better at higher rpms? cheap and vast parts? higher hp? worse torque?


Im mainly looking for something to learn drifting. Yes this is a bit much but it would be a DD to

[Jez]

Oh Jesus, not again.......

You already figured it out.:rant: lol

[Chaluska]

damn an RB powered S13 for 6k? that is a steal... if i were closer i would pick it up tonight

[rellik27]

I would suggest find a good shell and put in an sr you'll have money left over to upgrade the suspension since you want to drift. Sr swap is super simple and you can do it yourself. Also you can get the wiring from wiring specialties so no headache there. Let's say 1000 for a good shell 2000 for a motor. You'll basically have 3000 to make the car solid and reliable and a good starting point if you wanna get into drifting. Also since your new to this car I suggest you start reading up as much as you can even though this car is pretty easy to work on.

[DKnissanman]

man come on, im not like that. i may be un educated about but dang im not wanting one to fucking kill it, i wanna learn and work with it

good idea, but im in college almost. inb4 oh shit dk huehue hes gonna get all pussay


im not like that, i really do like cars and want to make this an experience
not rev it and put some cool bov to impress the girlies, if i could swap i would but i simply dont have the time at this point


I read up and i like the sr but he seems shady but the rb list all the parts and seems legit but again

rb- v6...2.0...not gonna handle well with red line because of bores or something

now there is a stock one 160k for 2k i could get but again...im a college kid almost, 98% i couldnt do the swap alone

I suggest using the search function, before the real flame throwers show up.
All of your questions have been answered a million and one times, here and on other forums.
Search and google are your friends, if you can't do that a swooped 240 is not the car for you!

thats it though I have, it seems that the sr20 is better because it handles perfectly for the 240 and handles a bit better at red line

while the rb20 is alright it is 100lbs-200 heavier making it nose heavy ultimately making drifting questionable which is what worries me.

I guess the sr20 would be better but the rb is such a one in a million chance, especially for here.

[240drift916]

As a person who has owned the RB20 before can i just say that thing is incredibly overpriced. RB parts are difficult enough to get ahold of here in california, can't imagine whats its like in tennessee. It has bullshit cheap suspension, and the kit looks to be shit too. on top of that this guy wants almost 6 grand for a car with the bottom of the barrel motor in it that doesnt run? Are you high? I dont know about out there but here in cali you can get a full rb swap for $1200 all day, no lie ill give you the number to the shop lol. Save your money champ, Also Rb's are straight 6 not V. If you dont need to rev and blow off to impress girlies, start with a stock car for a quarter of the price and wait til you find time to swap. Learn how to drift with a KA and good suspension before you go off the road and blap into something cuz you learned on a car with a good amount of power and shitty ass suspension. No need to search, I just answered your question sir. Good luck I hope to god you take my advice

no he wants 7,000 now for putting the wiring back which seems like crap.

what would be reasonable to offer?

I was taking in the after market parts to...

[brndck]

Wow I'd offer him $4500 WITH all the issues fixed.
He has all bottom of the barrel parts, and usually this is a good indicator of the level (or lack of) quality put into a project.

really? Man last time there was a 240 like this i offered low like you just said and he said no and it sold for full price..

I have to get a car by the 20th because I start my job....I found this?

^^^ This seriously is the best reply yet to this thread.

That car is a piece of shit loaded full of cheap shitty parts. Rb20 s13's come up for sale in better condition than that for as low as $2500-$4000. The rb20 is not a horrible engine. It revs higher than the Sr it just doesn't have any low end torque.

The Rb20 gets such a bad rap because everyone here on Zilvia thinks the Sr20 is so Holy even Jesus would rock one if he was around today...

Do some more research, as in look on YouTube at videos of rb20 and sr20 drift/drag/whatever the fuck you are looking to do with it. We can't make decisions for you. There is a good chance if you buy any car be it a s13 or otherwise, for too much money with too many problems, it will make you hate that platform/chassis all together. I don't know about you, but I wouldn't be buying someone else's problems.

i would pass on all of them. find a nice stock 240 to start with.

[Livinstrong]

I did a lot of research when trying to figure out what engine I would go with in my 240. The basics are as follows:

SR20: Everyone has one, but that means an abundance of cheap parts that are readily available. Smaller and lighter engine which is good handling. The power isn't as wide as a RB20 but it still packs just as much of a punch. More expensive to buy for the swap, but KA motor mounts can be used, which saves 300+ dollars. Intake manifold isn't retarded and makes pipe routing easier. Wiring how-to's are much more abundant. Safely makes about 400whp with proper supporting mods before needing to open 'er up.


RB20: Cheaper to boot but needs motor mounts or R32 GTS-T subframe. Low end torque is no where to be found, but power comes on smoother. Stock turbo can't do more than 12ish PSI before the ceramic turbine explodes. Makes about the same power as SR20 before needing to be opened. Aftermarket parts are hard to find, and if you want to upgrade the intake manifold or exhaust manifold, expect to shell out serious cash.

Both have similar gas mileage if driven out of boost. SR is definitely cheaper in the long run, especially if you plan on doing forged internals in the future(4 vs 6 pistons/rods)

wow he litterly just deleted that link, it was the stock 240 damn

anyway like I said I know all of that...Im just trying to get a decent number for this car, i get it.

emusa is cheap ebay shit but still he wants not 6k but 7k for it...4500 is basically saying go fuck yourself dude

would 5500 be to much still? Maybe if i confront the parts he will give? I don't hagle well so yeah.


plus my deadline is augusts 20th because I HAVE to get a car...I might even have to settle for a fwd till i can find a 240...I don't want to but if neither of these cars i posted is good then I guess its gonna have to be the answer

[Alamo_City_210]

Dont be stupid. Buy a stock car. I looked on CL in your area and there are a few stock cars for less than what the sellers are asking from your links. your gonna spend more money on the car and fixing mistakes as opposed to buying a stock car and doing things right.
Want Reliabilty + no time + Cause college student = Stock car.
Stock car=Reliability=Money saved + time + reading = knowledge + working on car + time = reliable car + more knowledge + more time = do swap + more knowledge + working on car + more time = Reliable cool car.
Add money to the equation where necessary

[Livinstrong]

If I were in your situation, I would just settle for a bone stock 240sx so you have a reliable car. You'll at least be one step closer to what you are looking for and when next summer comes around you're already ready for a swap, and you'll have the cash to do it right, or have someone else do it right haha

If you HAVE to have a car, don't buy his crappy untested/unproven rb20. And no, it's not worth that money.

rb20=2 more cylinders, some issues with parts and mounts and such, and no real benefit, it's the same freaken' displacement an an SR, and it's an I6 with LESS displacement than the stock I4 in a 240.

Just get a car with a good KA, for much less money. It will actually work, and you can upgrade it at your own pace, so that when things break you can handle it, because you're the one who put those things in.

I think 4500 would be a good TOP price on that car. What does he think his time's worth, that he snaps in a harness and makes 1.5k?

im not trying to be, I was trying to find more out and this guy is pretty old, and he said the reason was because he wants out of the car scene and would rather have a newer car like a frs is what he said.

I understand, its the same story everytime.
heres a video of the car: S13 rb20 road test - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1wZM49eOb8)
but that was with the head leaking or something which he fixed.
inb4 leaking meaning the whole thing is shit


The only stock i can find is automatic, and to do a manual swap would be insane at my level.

Honestly I would really stay away from that car. It looks poorly pieced together with low grade parts. Plus, the dude doesn't know how to shift for his life, so his general driving skill has probably affected the overall quality of the car even more.

Why buy a car if it's not what you want? Yes you would be able to have a car now, but in the end you'll just be unhappy because you didn't buy what you really wanted. I would wait a few more days and just comb through CL and see if you can find a clean 240sx. Since you have such little time, you might have to look a bit further away on CL than you wanted, but if it means you find a clean 240sx, then it'll all be worth the extra drive/hassle.

If doing a manual swap would be "insane" at your level, there is no way you should have anything but a stock 240.

Might be the pot calling the kettle black as I've never swapped anything, but I'm reasonably confident that I COULD do it.

If you are that uncomfortable with mechanical stuff and with diving in and getting your hands dirty, there is no way you should buy a car with a motor that was never offered in the US, when there is a US option with readily available parts and that's reasonably easy to wrench on.

In fact, why don't you buy a civic, get your toes wet and ruin THAT, and then get a 240. If I'd done that I'd have a healthier 240 today.

by the links you are posting, it seems as if you want a modded car that you can get in and be like "im cool, its swapped". Buy a stock car and learn as you go. If you cant do a manual swap at your experiance level, whose to say after owning the car for some time and getting your hands dirty that it cant be done down the road. Guess we shall just sit back and wait until you make your next thread. "Car Doesnt run, need HELP ASAP PLZZZZ"

[Livinstrong]

Lol I agree with others, start with something stock and go from there and learn. That ITR you linked has a B20B engine, which if you did some research, isn't too great if you're planning for serious power. Since the B-series blocks are technically all the same block with different bores, the B20 block has the largest bore and the cylinder walls are prone to cracking because of slim thickness. I'd be careful buying it if I were you.

If you just have to have a swapped car get one that was built by a professional. Come to Atlanta and get you a good one. Here is an example: 1996 S14 SE, 300HP S13 SR20, S15 T28, Nismo 2-Way, many upgrades! (http://240atlanta.com/forums/showthread.php?83290-1996-S14-SE-300HP-S13-SR20-S15-T28-Nismo-2-Way-many-upgrades)! This car was built buy Sammy at Tiger Racing. Sammy is a professional drifter and is the king of sr20s in the south.

I would say be smart and listen to the guys here buy a stock car and learn how to drive it. Then save a little more money and have the swap professionally done. Sammy can do the swap for you but it will not be cheep because he uses quality parts. When he is done the car will make 330 to 350 hp but the best part is he will give you three months to beat the crap out of it and if it brakes he will fix it no questions asked. When I asked him what he means by beating on it he said take it to all the drift events and or track events you want and if it brakes within three months he will fix it.

Honestly looks like trash. I would pass and get a stock 240sx weld the diff and drive the shit out of it. As time progresses and the need for power becomes inevitable swap in an sr20 and avoid the headaches that follow an rb20. This is directly from experience. Drift on young one!

Im gonna have to hop in here cause this guys a fucking idiot. (No offense you were born that way)

I Also wanted a 240sx with the SR and all the panty dropping goodness available.

But I did not want the mickey mouse ass wiring that other people do and the rigged ass zipties and shit. I wanted a clean ass 240 that could last a while and continue to drop panties till the end of time.

So you know what I did.. I bought a 240 for 400 dollars with NO ENGINE, NO TRANS just Coilovers and tires... and you know what I did..

I searched and found a perfect compression KA24DE and trans.. I swapped it in within 24 hours of purchase, Now I have a perfect running and reliable tire shredding beast that drops all the panties i can hold.

Welded diff, 5 speed stock ass KA with nothing.

But i hope that you end up buying some modded shit and it blows up on your way to work so you can come back here and ask us how to fix it because i could use some extra post count. And if you do buy a shit 240 let us know so we can follow you around and pick up the girlies that get out of your car when it breaks down.

I searched and found a perfect compression KA24DE and trans.. I swapped it in within 24 hours of purchase, Now I have a perfect running and reliable tire shredding beast that drops all the panties i can hold.

Welded diff, 5 speed stock ass KA with nothing.

But i hope that you end up buying some modded shit and it blows up on your way to work so you can come back here and ask us how to fix it because i could use some extra post count. And if you do buy a shit 240 let us know so we can follow you around and pick up the girlies that get out of your car when it breaks down.


you're to edgy for me man, better calm those keyboard warrior typing skills down.

I get it, im going to look at a stock 240 calm down.

If not i found a shell but i really dont feel like doing a engine swap.

Im gonna have to hop in here cause this guys a fucking idiot. (No offense you were born that way)

I Also wanted a 240sx with the SR and all the panty dropping goodness available.

So you did what every other kid in the world did. Bought a shell swapped in a ka and think you're the DK to talk shit to others wanting to buy a prebuilt car.

Prebuilt cars can be good if searched for I hope when the time comes for you to sell your tire shredding ka and no one wants it cause it's a aborted car you have a 1k into and probably ask 4k for when selling time arrives.
I have friends who've fully built cars and sold for up to 8k and not piles of crap.

Fyi if you need a $400 car to drop panties you're probably hanging with the wrong women

DKnissanman you need a car to get to work? then find a normal stock car like a civic or accord, sentra, infiniti g20. Whats the use of getting a project car that will break down on you and prob cause you to get fired? get a normal car and save money to buy the car you want, RB20 or SR20 what ever.

$1,500 will get you a mint CB7.

30MPG, bullet proof power train. Huge aftermarket to hone the "tinkering" skills and mod-bug.

If your serious about a 240, then save up, buy a shell or basket case and build it on your spare time. Nothing sucks worse then trying to fix your daily an hour before work, or not being able to go across state for a concert because your like "Fawk... it's having XYZ issue".

You sir must have reading issues. I bought a shell for 400 and found a good motor and trans and did the work myself I now have a car worth more and no not worth 4k and I dont plan on selling it because I didnt buy this car to be in it to make money I bought this car because its a labor of love. I love what I do and I dont mind working my ass off to have a working clean 240. My shit runs and anytime i need to turn the key it starts. Im not dealing with someone elses issues and shit that they "thought" was correct and happened to just "work" My shit is 100% stock and works great. Puts me sideways when I need it and it puts me on the clock when I need to be there.

Learn some shit fool ass kid. Pre built HA!! that is for bitches that are afraid to do shit. Have fun kiddo.

Truth.

Driftwire, you're making an even worse fool of yourself than OP. He's trying too hard, but at least he's not a(n obvious) tool.

Never said my car was prebuilt but just cause someone is selling a swapped doesn't mean mean it's a pile of crap. My buddy sold his sr20 240sx on coils and was a clean ass swap, I did the wiring in it plus several others cars using solder and shrinkwrap. Everything worked as it should, Using all right parts and even 370z seats. Well worth the money he sold it for ($4500).

Fool ass kid smh .......yeah ok I won't even get into my swap/rebuild list haha

[Bmxer300zx]
