yes the rb26dett does fit into normal gts-t's (well i have seen and heard about plenty of conversions etc from the standard RB25DET to the RB26DETT)

The engine itself is alot more powerful i believe and theres also a few extras that come with the car ... i think.

its just like pathetic holdens etc,

They have SS models, HSV etc etc the GTR is just the more advanced, more powerful model of the GTS-T

Mostly those two things, but a few other subtle differences -

Added gauges to GTR

Different bodykit/wing/front bar/badging

Bigger fuel pump on GTR (bigger injectors etc taken as given on the different engine)

Different gearbox (different ratios)

Bigger brakes on GTR

Different wheels (forged alloy on GTR I think as opposed to cast on GTS-t)

Flared guards on GTR

That's about all I can think of right now, I'm sure there's more but that's probably most of it.

You can put an RB26DETT into a GTS-t without too many hassles. If you want the 4WD though, a better conversion is to drop one in to a GTS4, which has the same gearbox and 4WD system as a GTR.

Either way you are probably looking at around $10k for the conversion including parts and labour, plus a lot of time off the road. It can be viable if you buy the original car cheaply enough at the time.

Not to mention suspension, drivetrain, 4wd system, computer system, internal gauges and dials..

no comparison really :)

Kind of like the difference between a BMW 318i and a BMW M3.. the only similarity might be the BMW badge. Maybe instead of listing the difference we should list the similarities.. we'd be here for less time as the list of things they share is quite short :)

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
