probbaly one of the most time differences is an engine can be removed from a gst with the gearbox dettached, this is much more difficult on a gtr.
we dont even bother now, we usually remove the box first and then the engine, dropping the whole lot with suspension is another way, but not our prefered way.
gtrs are just a lot more fiddly and harder to work on.
also u have driveshafts, intercooler hoses, most things are harder to get to, starter motor, bellhousing bolts etc,etc..put simply gtr engines are a pain.
