Its only a matter of time and SR's and RB's will start becoming rarer and rarer. Much like what has happened with the FJ , SSS L series, regular L series,2TG's , 3TG's etc...
There used to be pallet stacks of L series engines nearly the size of skyscrapers back in the day in Japan. They are all gone. FJ's were not produced in nearly the same kind of numbers as say L18 SSS engines which Nissan stuck in Taxi's, Police cars, Bluebirds, base model Fairladys etc.... Or normal L16's and L18's in trucks and everything else under the Nissan sun

Well in any case you have more connections than myself, so I have $2500 in cash(maybe more if the condition is good) to slam you if you get one any time soon. I've realized rarity isn't the issue the the value how it appreciates over time for it's newstalgia is. Some Newstalgic items are priceless or have more of an unconditional or sentimental value and that causes the rarity. Theres alot of dimequarterly dudes that come across these engines, these engines are out in the U.S people just don't want to give them up unless it's for the right price or the right reason involved such as historical restoration.
