if only i still had my ralliart . that would make a beautiful swap :'(

 

lol, if only i had 2500 and nuthin better to do with it.

anyone know if the jdm is better or worse? I know they had that 276hp thing for a long time

 

This 280hp thing in Japan was nothing more than a gentleman's agreement. Numbers on paper often showed 280hp, but real-world numbers were much higher (think of the R32 GTR... 280hp, really? http://www.jbskyline.net/R32/GTR/Specs/).

Lots of parts are damaged on that motor if you look at the pics closely. Looks like they ripped it out of the car and dropped it on the pallet from 5 feet away.
