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?

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing
