Hey all, new to skyline australia and figured best place to ask the questions.
I currently am on my P-plates in Queensland and own a 1993 R32 GTS 2door. I bought the car off a mate and comes with an untouched rb20de showing around 160,000kms. Only mods done to the car are genuine sparco deep dish steering wheel, tein hr coilovers, advanti 17x8.5 wheels, exedy heavy duty clutch, solid rear cradle bushes, locker, pig pipes and stripped interior. The car has already seen a couple of track days at QR aswell as many industrials .
However I am only on my P's for another 9months and am looking at my future options with the car. I am planning on further modifying the cars cosmetics (kit, new wheels, roof spoiler) and modifying the handling and suspension (adjustable arms, strut bars etc.) for the remaining 9 months as these are the only modifications as I am allowed to do.
Engine wise I am wanting to replace the rb20de with a rb26det (single turbo). What I am asking is if anyone has done this conversion from a non-turbo gts before or whether I am wasting my time and should just look into selling as I go on my open license.
I understand the hassles with converting to the 26 such as gearbox from awd to rwd and the adjustment to the sump and wiring etc.
Any advice or assistance would be great, look forward to hearing everyones thoughts and opinions.
Cheers,
