rebuild your engine could be another good option if you know someone good that get the job done right^^
Another thing I forgot to mention, the engine number is filed off, I dont know how the previous guy got it through roadworthy.
So I rather put another engine in
yeah. take the plunge and get the notchtop. pull your motor and swap it. straight forward.

If you need to talk to someone, speak to someone who specialises in these cars.
PS. waste of time putting a SR20DE in there, just find a notch top RWD SR and stop messing about with different versions unless you have a very good reason for going for a different version.
I rather have my car they way it should be. If that guy says I should put another engine in ..... :200sx_2guns: this mechanic is peeving me off
I second the rebuild because then you know you are getting a fresh good engine. The hardest part is finding a reputable engine builder.
Pity you are in pretoria as I know of a very good engine builder here in cpt.

Hahahaha but yes... this man speaks the truth 😛
Rebuild only if the block are in good shape... my bore was measure stock after 240k on it... so i did't bore and put bigger piston's

I might have done a rebuild if the engine number was not filed off.
Im forgetting that awesome feeling being behind the wheel of my SX .....
My car engine bay on 4 June 2011
when the engine is out... it normally takes a year to get it back inside^^

That gives me such relief 😮
That is seriously sketch...engine number filed off.
I recon buy a notch top then bud and hope for the best. If it fails then rebuild it properly.
I wouldn't mind the block if you want rid of it, looking for a nice small engine block as a table base.

The car was running fine, wasn't losing oil or water, until I went to JHB and back
so what is wrong with the engine? bearing knock?

Yeah, sometimes the car struggled to start, one night driving it just died on me, next day I started it and went directly to the mechanic driving slowly, was making a knocking sound and was almost cutting out when coming to a stop. but I made it there.
