Any motor your gonna get from Japan has probably been beaten pretty hard. Also, Japanese motors are not as low mileage as you would expect. I have had 4 Silvia's now and all of them were at/around 100,000km min. when I got them.

As far as reliabilty, either one can be very reliable.

RB25 definately has a better transmission, but is less common and more expensive in the states (from what I have heard, but I live in Japan).

RB's sound cool, IMO.

SR's are more fun, IMO. They have a quick spool and good powerband.

Either motor can handle abuse fairly well, as long as you maintain it.

.9-1bar is ok for daily boost on both motors.

It all comes down to personal preference IMO.
