Nissan laurel c34

[Giggles]

Sup guys, looking at buying a laurel c34, considering swapping the SR20 for an RB25DET but have been told it might be better to just work the SR20 instead, would appreciate any thoughts opinions or info

Don't those come with a rb25 in it??? I'm assuming he swapped it out for the sr20.

I would swap the 25 if you want nice power gains and better engine. If not just keep the 20 in there since it's already in there. Plus plenty of space to work on the engine.

Personally I would swap a 25 in it.

As I sit in the parking lot at work, 2 of my co workers are here with S14 240sx. One has a hot SR20det setup. The other one has an RB20DET. The SR is probably easier since you already have one in it. That RB sure sounds much better though. I say follow your heart, and wallet lol.

Has the owner stated that the engine has been swapped?

As mentioned the Laurels only came with RBs, it never had an SR.

I guess I was resting on my Laurel(s), I knew that... So the car is probably RB20, and he wants to go RB25. The 25 has more potential overall, it goes beyond the displacement difference.

Speed costs money, how fast do you wanna go?

I got told it had an sr20 but found out it's an RB20e, if I swapped in an RB25DET would I need to cut and change the position of the mounts or would the preexisting mounts be fine for 25det

Its just my first project so I don't want to complicate it too much but I still want it to put me in my seat when I plant it

yea you should be fine with the pre existing mounts if it came with the 20e in it.

Just curious, wouldn't it be better and cheaper to buy a c34 with a turboed engine or no?

I'd be slightly worried if the seller couldn't tell the difference between an SR20 and RB20e.

Possibly but haven't found any decent ones in my price range

I would look for a salvage Laurel in your body style with a healthy RB25det if I was doing this. That way you get everything you need to make it happen.

Found a 1999 25clubS in Japan with an RB25DE in it, can get it for same price as the one I'm looking at including shipping.
