cuz most ppl assume its from a nasty accident and there must be something ****ed up still.

a branded title deff depreciates the value of any car tho

though it should be worth 3k just thanks to the extra performance goodies i doubt there will be many willing to drop over 1.5k on it just cause its an L motor... unfortunately

for 3k you can get an RB25 engine trans ecu and harness to your door. haha.

ya a %100 stock motor with no history, 80-150k on it and most likely a smashed oil pan lol and alot of people cant afford the instal, thats the expensive part of an RB swap.

but most people able to perform a turbo L motor swap can probably do the same with an RB if they buy the mounts if they can't fabricate. and yes it'll be more money then, but not a terrible amount. worth it in the end. and it wont be THAT high of a mileage motor. probably closer to 50k.

but they are usually abused junkyard pull outs that sit open in a damp/dusty warehouse for upwards of 6 months, Also they discontinued the 200zr pan.

an RB swap takes alot more than a L28et, an RB swap is not cheap. Iv extensively researched it since I was shopping for an RB before the L28et.

My z was idling like crap the other day so I figured since I just got it, it may have been awhile since anyone changed the oil out. I decided to go ahead and change the oil. I used Mobile 1 synthentic oil like I was reccomended on here. Anyways, I drain out the oil and noticed it was extremely dark and even after 10 minutes of draining, it was still coming out. I decided to go ahead and flush it to make sure all the bad stuff got out. I hooked up the hose, ran water through the engine, started it up and was waiting for the water to come out clean (The engine never went above idle so I was told this would be ok). Anyways, About 3 minutes into this, then engine starts shaking and shuts off. I figured it was all cleaned out so I plugged it up, added the oil and figured I was ready to go. WRONG! The car won't freaking start now. This car has been nothing but trouble for me, I think I am done with it.
