The guys think they're getting Skyline motors that are super clean and babied.....

Nope probably really junky JDM z31 motors...
Like I said, just cause it's old doesn't mean it's a piece of shit. Hell, the SR should be hitting the 15 year mark in 06, and it's still t3h supAr JDM-y0 thing to do.

Nissan motors were at their pinnacle at the end of the 80's/beginning of the 90's. If the RB block was unsuccessful, do you REALLY think they would've put it into their flagship performance car? Sure, they RB20 wasn't in the GT-R, but it damn sure paved the way for the RB26 that came later and owned the All-Japan Touring Circuit.
