Looks clean but for that price you can prb get a gt25 throw an rb26 and fabricate the chassis for awd lol

Thanks for the insights mate!

I drive a dc2 typer 400hp all motor every other day even for a small ride. Daily and easy to drive? Definitely not but I prefer joy over comfort atm. My friend also uses a 650hp evo 10 full interior as a daily and isn't a pain at all even for longer trips except parking spots lol. I guess is just what you prefer. I have heard the rb25 block is weaker tho no? Same goes for the rb26 with thinner cooling holes? That's why they go rb30

Curious why the rb25 would perform better than the rb26? Is it because of the block or head? I've seen many swapping to rb30 block and keeping the rb25 head. My sweet spot would be around 600hp, nothing crazy but plenty of fun for everyday.

The main thing is to be AWD, I don't want it RWD thus the concern. So even keeping the rb25 it has to be awd one or the other way. Now about still not making a genuine gtr and not having the same value that is true. However with those prices atm which they can only go higher still would cost probably cost 50% less including body work etc. And for the value, not my main concern atm, def won't have a gtr value but probably could make it's money back if I ever decide to move on

Hi all, For anyone that has done or know for this kind of project, I was wondering what would be the most suitable r34 model to use as a base (money/difficulty wise) if you are going for an as close as possible to a gt-r swap. More specifically, to run a 6 speed rb26 AWD. Most parts will be swapped anyway but my main concern is, is it worth the cost of a gt-four since it's AWD already just so I don't have to cut and make room for the front diff plus any addional parts I may use for the AWD system? From what I know it uses 4.3 diffs compared to 4.1 that the gt-r uses so that will probably change anyway. Basically my options are: - gt-four for the fit ready awd chassis and whatever I can use from the drivetrain - 25gt which is easier and cheaper to find but I will need the AWD drivetrain and cut/solder for that to fit. I'm not a engineer so might some stuff sound stupid or I miss a lot of other things so feel free to add any comments. Cheers,
