there's no best motor choice. Choose what you want. If i had the money I would do an RB26dett since I love the motor

A straight-6 is the best option, though a V-8 can be quite alluring. I know several RB25s have made their way into 240Zs, 260Zs, and 280Zs over the years, and they are excellent power plants and apparently a fairly easy install. Of course, then you have to ask about hard-to-find JDM replacement parts and such (my friend has an RB20DET in his 240SX and gripes all day about that problem). You could even go even rarer and put in a diesel; I know the Nissan RD-series (RB but diesel) is quite potent, as is the LD-series (L-series diesel). Those L-series themselves can crank out quite the horsepower and torque; you might just want to leave in the factory engine and work on it. Turbos are everyone's favourite accessory.

parts for the RB motors are EASY to get, you just have to know where to get them...

i cant get parts especially for RB seires motors within 2weeks 5 days if rushed... and thats from japan...

i also have a GTR which is why i have such contacts for parts
