OK, so if I don't want my GTR getting owned by insurance, I was thinking of just dropping a 26dett into a GTS-T and leaving all the badges the same :D slightly more sleeper.

has anyone here done this conversion and what was you cost of engine by itself and also total cost at end of conversion (I was thinking i could easily sell the 20det or whatever and that would pay for conversion costs with the motor coming out of my pocket).

Thanks :(

Ok mate, thought all this one out before as I wanted to do it! Workshops have qouted around 11 to 13g for everything drive in drive out. Less selling your motor etc. To do myself at home with mates an halfcut was going to cost $8500! That was for an R33 GTR halfcut mind you! Bit of mucking around with sump conversion, engine mounts, wiring etc etc! So it is expensive! By the time you work it out it will prob be cheaper to just get an GTR!

Its pretty impossible to sell a complete rb20 these days.. not too much demand.

Just sell it to a CA18DE-equipped Silvia owner.

You won't get much for it, since the only guys who install RB20's into S13s are people who think that it'll cost them less than an SR20, but at least you'll get something.

so you are doing this conversion to get cheap iunsurance?

and you don't plan to tell the insurance company that you have an RB26 in your gtst?

you don't think that they can tell when you smash it and they use the jaws of life to cut your bonnet off to see an RB26dett smiling at them?

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
