thats an FD ... FC = 2nd gen.

Looks like a tidy conversion

[DRFTRX_82]

my bad i really did mean FD

That\'s a funny hue of Red for the top of the SR20.

So now you have a pretty car with an engine made by Datsun. :bandit

are the red top SR20DET\'s the ones without variable valve timing, and the black ones have it?

[DRFTRX_82]

the redtop has variable valve timing (i think), if only it were red carbon fiber instead of normal carbon fiber.

[MintyFresh]

my 200sx had a black top, and i would have thought the S14a had VVT, but im no mechanic.

[MintyFresh]

the extra weight and positionb of the engine must seriously mess with the handling?

[DRFTRX_82]

the redtop is 65 pounds ligther than the rotary... closer to the magic 50/50 split. 501hp @ 26psi.

[MintyFresh]

is it really lighter?

[fro]

doubt it, a SR20DET weighs about 150kg. A 13b doesn\'t weigh 180 Kilos does it?

[iaint]

Looking at the position of the block it\'s centre of gravity is about 10" higher and 12-16" forwards than a 13b\'s and past the front wheels = not good.

Can\'t see it adding anything to the car apart from understeer!

interesting conversion though.
