Thanks all. I have been told to avoid the R31 engine and that they arent nearly as good. I got this from a review on the R32 on Autospeed.
<begin> The RB range of turbo engines are stormers - and the GTS-t's 2-litre RB20DET is no exception. Note that the R32's DOHC, 24-valve turbo is a lot higher spec than the R31's (red rocker cover) version. In its updated form, the GTS-t motor features a 8.5:1 static compression ratio, double overhead cams, 24-valves, multi-point fuel injection, direct-fire ignition and - of course - an air-to-air intercooled turbocharger. <end> Having a look at it tomorrow, the price is right and assuming it is an R32 type the Z is one step closer to RB power. Yeah...
