    a well setup RB can run just as well as a JZ. I run mine at 420bhp with no issues at all although I'm doing an upgradings this winter

    1j is a lot more expensive route to go down, initial cost and tuning wise. But are know for being pretty much bullet proof and capable of more power than an rb. Age old thing of you get what you pay for I suppose.

    But for better responses what the use of the car? Solely drifting, road legal drifter or fast road occasional drifter and what sort of bhp do you want to be hitting? And is it on a budget?
