Hi guys

Looking to swap the engine on my 350gt.

 

I would absolutely love to swap an RB into it... or maybe a barra ! I know an LS swap would be the best and easiest out there but I'm not looking for that. I'm looking for something a little unique and cool like a barra or rb.

What are your guys thoughts on this ? I know the rb swap has been done before not sure about the barra. 

Would love some ideas/inspiration on this project. 

Cheers

Would like to have it on the road one day.

Sigh. What jurisdiction would you be wanting to register it in?

Aware that ADRs and state rego authorities make it quite difficult to register an engine transplant to an older engine than the car?

 

My vote? Mercedes V12.

Always a great plan to not choose the logical option.spend heaps more cash for a worse result. But at least you will be different!!!!!

You "may" be able to register a late model RB engine into a 350GT, last R34 was 2002, 350GT from 2002 ????, so maybe, but why, there is much newer, better, lighter and cheaper bang for buck stuff out now

LS3

You will need to engage an engineer first before even starting, no point in doing it if the engineer won't sign off on the "swap kit" or mods you want

Want different, throw in one of those new 5.2 BOSS engines in from the Mustang, those things sound wicked

VK56 if you want to stay loyal.. but a very tight squeeze and will be outperformed by an LS..
I like the idea of something different, but you will need deep pockets to be a trail blazer..  Depends what your goal is I guess.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
