i have a rb25det sII in my r32 gts. Yes it fits and yes the gearbox does fit but tailshaft will need to customised as will crossmember. No real issues that cant be overcome. Speedo cable needs to be modified or your speedo will be out.I'm also running the series 1 computer as according to my mech they allow for more tuning then the series 2. As for price, how can one answer that??? However much you can pickup all the parts for (for me, the engine + box was 3grand, engine at 45,000 clicks) plus however much someone is going to charge you for labor. I paid $600. Plus, then, depending on what state you are in you will need mod plates which if your in qld means bigger brakes which will cost you again. over all with brakes on mod plates it cost me roughly $4200 but i got engine and labor quite cheap through mates.

also, you dont neccessarily miss out on LSD. I'm not sure if its aftermarket or what but my car when imported came with LSD plus sun roof e.t.c that CAN possibly be upgraded on the gts. I think its a big myth that most options only come on gts-t. My gts came with upgraded seats, sunroof, blue dials, upgraded front bar, and nismo rims. These were all from factory.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
