^ I have not heard good things about the pro charger. I would go HKS or Vortech.

Also heard you should do a compression and leak down test first

hahaha!

Small word of advice no matter what condition the RB is in have it rebuild and a Nur spec oil pump put in, too many guys I know lost RBs to oil pumps that failed

Yea for sure, I kinda love the old tech. It's so easy which makes me want to go down that path. Better on gas (as if it mattered lol) more reliable, sounds awesome will put down a tonne of power for less money, 5spd drifto and I can pull it off all said and done for under 5k which I'm all for because that's how much I'd be looking at just buying the Turbo or Supercharger kit.

Plus, The RB in a stanced sedan would be totally awesome.

Ask for the choice of procharger, I have a connection for them. The Vortech is a great way to go as well. The procharger just offered me a wicked price and simplicity.

It sure would be cool though!!!

Local shop that builds pure Sr20s and RBs is doing the swap, I trust it in their hands.

Sweet! Thought an LS swap makes more sense, an RB swap is cool (and stays true to it's "Skyline" heritage

Ls does makes sense if you're into American cars and natural aspiration.

What can I say, I'm a ricer.

^It makes sense for more reasons than that.
The LS engine is one of the best power/weight/size/$ balances ever, plus has an amazing after-market. Stock they're great, N/A modded they're fantastic, and boosted they're unbelievable... that being said, I've always liked the idea of an RB in a sedan. Something about RB swaps on Nissans I've just always really liked.
Kinda the same thing with the IS-300 w/2JZ-GTE.... it just belongs
