I've been searching for awhile for an SR swap and I came across these "royaljapanesemotors.com" guys recently, from what I've seen they are based out of Canada and their SR swaps seem to be priced pretty well. Has anyone had any experience with these guys? And does anyone else know of good reliable sites with SR20's? I don't really have the option to go look at one in person, since I live in the middle of Idaho lol.

Importers are hit or miss. Even if it's mint, having it freighted over to you can turn a good motor into a piece of shit. There are a ton of variables. The best bet is find the closest option, ask for compression tests, best CASH price and head there with a truck and trailer and confirm the numbers. It's hard to buy something sight unseen and just 'hope.'

Another route is buy a head from someone on the forums and a block - or even a full set and have them ship. You'll generally get a better deal and MOST people here are more trustworthy.

That's my two cents.

I've heard of a few people using this new site called zilvia.net. They're pricing is pretty good, but you gotta be careful. Sometimes they try to sell you entire cars with SR's in'em.

Sometimes you can get a really good deal in a private sale instead of from an importer. I've seen many swaps locally sell for a good price that include lots of goodies like aluminum rads, intercooler kits, upgraded clutches and turbos etc.

You live in Idaho, why not do a potato potato swap?























This going to go over 94% of peoples heads.

I added humor to your otherwise bland and completely google-able post. There was a literal SHIT TON of need for my smart-assedness.

Jesus Christ, who pissed in your Cheerios this morning?

This is zilvia man, you gotta expect this to happen lol. Grow some thick skin and use google to research companies or use ebay. Ebay has reviews for the importers. Find one with a good rep and cross your fingers.

SupaDoopa

Typical 2016'r. Thumbnail of his car in the sig, stupid fucking post, gay ass user name with a S-chassis reference in it, gets excited when he makes an account to post a bunch of dumb ass shit because he's too lazy to Google is as if we have a magical answer that's any better, joins anti-Zilvia club calling us all pricks but trolls the B/S/T threads for dumb eBay shit at a cheaper price.

Even if you were too lazy to Google, you could have used the forum 'search' feature for doing cool things like searching stupid shit you should know. Play in fire.

cameron92S13

Such a salty community, seriously what is wrong with you guys? I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with that website, and added a general question at the end just to have a better post. I'm not going to go "anti-zilvia" now because I like this site, I just don't understand why you have to be so rude, this is the shit that makes people not want to come back to this site, luckily enough for me I don't really get mad about things like this.

cameron92S13

And I did google the info, I was just in search of more information. And honestly how do you expect a community to grow when there are contankerous people like you who bash on newer members just trying to learn the ropes and find more information, sorry for my "gay ass username" and my "stupid ass post", just remember you were a new member too at one point.

OBEEWON

Community is too big.
We gonna start shoosting people.









Let the shoosting...begin!

I was a new member that kept my mouth shut and read before I starting slapping my keyboard with my little dickbeaters. People are more prone to answering questions when you've used the search feature, Google, and exhausted all over avenues of help. We don't mind helping - we just aren't your mother nursing you every time you can't remember where you can buy a quart of oil or why your welded diff makes your wheels skip when you turn.

EDIT: Oh look. You made TWO dumb posts about importers. http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?t=635412

EDIT: Oh look. You posted your non-aero S13 in the aero S13 thread. http://zilvia.net/f/showthread.php?p...44#post6108244

Okay, maybe this one was not the best post, but I thought my TBO post was not "dumb" as I googled, searched the forums, and did the whole nine yards for info on that website and body kit and found hardly any info. And guess what? I asked the community, and they answered and weren't complete fucking assholes and gave me good information, so this post was kinda shitty sure, but still you don't need to be this damn crtical of a new poster who made a few dumb threads, chill the fuck out man, it's a damn website.

I'll keep quiet more now, since I don't like to get flamed by guys who have nothing better to do but flame new members and make them feel like shit.

SupaDoopa

Here's the thing: if you can't find information on the internet about a company, there are 1 of 2 things going on.

1. They're legitimately new which isn't unheard of but if they have decent inventory, I'm going to assume it's reason number two.
2. They changed their name because they were so shitty, they want to take another crack at fucking people under a different name.

If you want cool shit, deal with legit people instead of being a cheapskate. When people say things like 'price' on important shit like motors, internals, safety, etc., generally we are going to flame you into the ground.

Once you get the swap make sure you get a disco "potato" lol, ok I'm out

SupaDoopa

Cool. Good bye.

cameron92S13

See how hard was that, thank you.

driftsucky

Just an fyi, I didn't flame you because I was upset. I flamed you because it bothers me when people ask intro level questions about a chassis and motor that have been out for well over 2 decades. And, they've been popular for AT LEAST a decade in this country (although I'd argue the 240 really picked up speed around the 2002/2003 time period when people wanted to switch from FWD Hondas to RWD dori slide monsters). Either way, the info has been out for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. And you can check build threads to see who people are using (or for sale threads). At this point, even asking about LS swaps is old hat. But, glad you took it like a man and hung around. You got motsey kid...or matzi...or mot...balls. You got balls. I can dig it.

Thanks man. I'll keep this stuff in mind before I start asking questions.

SupaDoopa

Don't thank him. Tell him to fuck off. The size of your internet balls are slowly shrinking. Not a good start.

shanelach

Give it a rest dude.
