Haha true, if that's the case im a happy camper with my n/a

It might not be sensible but my goal is to keep the r34 coupe body functioning as long as possible. A better question I should of asked is what is a sensible engine replacement once the rb25 goes? This could happen in 5-10 years and my thought was a barra initially because of its availability and rep. True, but I am keen to spend time working on a car - especially one I adore, i'm not that concerned with power output just the thought of engineering your own car seems awesome

Hm, by the sounds of things I might just drive this till failure and buy a more powerful skyline later on... I've done my reading and the consensus with any engine replacement for this drivetrain is bleak. Although it seems that with GTTs disappearing like dodos it is an actual viable option?

Hello lads, a naïve p-plater here. I've had an unholy thought of swapping the rb25 for a barra once it goes out (whenever that happens, sitting on 215k atm, i know these engines are resilient). Has this been done before? Any tips or should i steer clear and buy a gtt, cheers
