If you can put a LS1 in to a skyline im shore a XR6T can go in with time and money.

ls1 would go in easier than a ford straight 6 (v8 is shorter and lower and lighter). as i said in the other thread the OP started asking this, issue would be with the height of the motor and the weight (they are an iron block, not alloy, although the head is alloy), and possibly the length. but if it's a track car then you can easily overcome the size issues with a bit of creative panel beating, but it may still handle like a bucket of crap because of the weight.

RB26 weighs in at around 180kgs bare, the Barra engine around 175kgs bare.

Ancillaries would be similar weight.

RBs are iron block, so that's a moot point.

Block height difference might be a bit, but even if it's 40mm, that' be pretty easy to overcome with engine mounts and/or a bulge in the bonnet.

I reckon a 4Lt in a 32 would be a f**king weapon.

It's not a bad fit.

Height is a slight issue but nothing major, if using an FG rear sump engine it will require modifications.

I've got one in an r32 gtst and an r34 GTT.

Also developing a 4 bolt main sump/diff for an awd conversion.

We figured it'd be a wanted component.

Weve been playing with FG and BF engines for a while now. Have a dry dumped FG engine going into an r34 and also another BA engine going into an r32 GTsT for track school shortly.

The awd sump is a work in progress but very possible

I'll use a WRX gearbox and hope for the best..........

That's sarcastic by the way....

I LOLed.

This is what happened the last time someone tried to run 1000nm of twist through a WRX box.

I was thinking about buying one of these set ups from you, but seeing as my honest questions get bullshit answers I won't bother

Well you have to admit it was a kinda of obvious question, wasn't it??

My reply wasn't intended to offend.

It has to retain a GTR gearbox.

As for how I'll make it work properly, that's what I do for a living, it's all custom fabrication.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
