    It has an iron block, thats outdated in itself.

    No hard feelings mang, I don't think any less of you for defending your motor choice.

    Me either. It's Skillzilla that sucks at life. This new guy actually seems pretty cool....even if he has an RB20.

    Iron blocks are outdated? If anything I would prefer to go with one vs. aluminum. Yes you save weight, but iron is more resilient than aluminum. I see your viewpoint, but do not agree with it. The RB's were cast iron all the way to the R34 GTR, which was discontinued in what...'00-'01? I hardly think it's outdated.

    I haven't seen too many aluminum block cars that are cracking blocks and shooting shit through them. I mean shit LS1s, LS2s, LS7s are all aluminum and seem to be doing just fine...

    Just so you know, I've been driving an rb25 s13 daily for the past week. I've driven many sr s13s and honestly, you can feel a difference, the car it self just drives differently.

    So now you are comparing 2 litre to 2.5 to 2.6 to SR? Hmm....this debate is jumping all over the place.

    And the first iron block that I thought was going to be brought up was the 2JZ. Amazing nobody did.

    And PLEASE...I am not comparing the different RB's to the SR. I am talking about the iron block used between all of the RB's. Forget about headwork, forget about displacement...I'm talking about the material used from the R31's to the R34 Skylines. Apparently Nissan did not think iron was too outdated. Please stop putting words in my mouth.

    And yes the 2JZ > RB's...

    Oh, we are just talking iron blocks? My Datsun's L series engine is an iron block, and it is a 1973. That's some old shit. LOL

    You can't tell me though that the block/headwork are too similar in those two motors though.

    They share what the same iron block, other then that entirely different.

    Don't get me started on rb20s and rb25s badass intake manifolds.

    Once again...I never said anything about headwork. The RB20's head is pretty restrictive once you get higher hp numbers. That I will wholeheartidly agree with. My point was that they all utilize an iron block.

    Not sure what your point is about the intake manifolds. They do look like pooh from the factory, but there are plenty of aftermarket options for them now.
