Re: SR20DE Vs SR20DET 4 next project - Help + Differences

[Richard Clough]

Speaking of SR20's  Whats a VVL (and timing) version worth.  I was looking at one on the floor today with very low k's. The guy who owns it is not too sure of its value, although he does know its worth more than the average SR20DE, which he say aren't worth much these days.  Any one know?   Same guy has heaps of R32 - 34 Skyline bits (rooms full). He picked up most from a container he bought from a liquidator.   He is also building an immaculate R32 Skyline which was originally fitted with a single cam motor- no kidding I was looking at it on the floor!  He's converting to a RB25 GTS-T spec engine and suspension - quite a project, as the front cross member and steering rack also needed to be changed to fit the new engine, but typically Nissan, the swaps bolted in.   He also has an immaculate yellow 300ZX TT with a manual tranny an 300KPH speedo.    Oh, and he also had a complete front cut of and R30 Skyline with an FJ20T, lurking in a corner of his very interesting shed.   He was saying the grey import business will be all over rover in May 2002 for many of the current importers.  Basically only govt. accredited persons will be able to import vehicles they are licenced to comply. To get compliance you will have to demonstrate you can build to  "MANUFACTURERS QUALITY".  ISO 9000 standards will be mandatory and "cradle to grave" record systems for all parts added and removed will be required.  He says its all part of a plot to slow down and limit grey imports for local manaufacturers and get rid of the cowboys in the game.  He says no 4WD or deisel cars will come in. Get in quick if you want a cheap grey import.   Good news is that Skylines will still be able to come, but the bad news is prices will go up and waiting times will blow out to cover the additional costs and work for accredited importers.   Oh, dont forget my VVL question. ----- Original Message ----- From: Greg To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 13 December 2001 5:03 AM Subject: RE: SR20DE Vs SR20DET 4 next project - Help + Differences Hey nick, what sort of srde are you getting for $750??  Does that =nclude box and all?  S13 or S14 (I presume S13).  Kms??  Sorry, I =ave not answered your question, but am looking for a de myself at the moment.   regards Greg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Nick =ering - Ferrit Sent: Thursday, 13 December 2001 1:32 =M To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: SR20DE Vs SR20DET 4 =ext project - Help + Differences List, =as just wondering for my next project ( I pick it up next week ), would it be =heaper in the long run to just buy an SR20DET ($2400) - SSS Automotive, or i =ould settle for an SR20DE ($750) - SSS Automotive ---- + factor in the fact =f insurance etc for an 18yr old.
