What if something craps out on the car? than i gotta wait for parts. ugh.
anyone daily driving an RB now and can comment on its reliability and drivability?

I probably daily my rb25 more than others with the rb25.
I drive approximately 60-80, sometimes 100, miles a DAY!..thats right..day!
Comes out to 500-750 miles a week. I do oil changes every 3 weeks.
Its great, its calm when you need it to be, and you get how ever much power you want/need for spirited driving or passing cars as you need. The response is great and i get good milage for an I6 turbo.
The car feels more solid with the RB.
Havnt had any problems yet.
Also, RB parts arent bad to come by at all, it just seems that way because RBs dont share as much as the 240 market as the SR or KA. I frequent an australian skyline forum that leaves me rest assured that parts are plentiful from many suppliers both aftermarket and even OEM.
Also, i dont understand why people hate on RB and rag on it as a waste of money.
"id rather spend the 2000 dollars on tires and brakes than waste it on an RB"
Its like people believe the 240sx was solely made to drift and track. Also, a person spends money at his/her descresion so i dont see why others worry about what he or she pays for work done on the car. If money is so critical in your life and you are so economically concious that you comment on the way others spend in an audacious manner, then i cant help but pull the jealousy card.
Anyways...thumbs up to most of everyone on this board, different strokes for different folks.
