OK, so if I don't want my GTR getting owned by insurance, I was thinking of just dropping a 26dett into a GTS-T and leaving all the badges the same slightly more sleeper.

has anyone here done this conversion and what was you cost of engine by itself and also total cost at end of conversion (I was thinking i could easily sell the 20det or whatever and that would pay for conversion costs with the motor coming out of my pocket).

Thanks

the cost would be wrapping the car around a poll in less than a month...

RB25s are so much cheaper to run and to repair. save some cash and get some 19s or something B)

but if an RB26 is wat floats ur boat dont let me talk u out of it

Ok mate, thought all this one out before as I wanted to do it! Workshops have qouted around 11 to 13g for everything drive in drive out. Less selling your motor etc. To do myself at home with mates an halfcut was going to cost $8500! That was for an R33 GTR halfcut mind you! Bit of mucking around with sump conversion, engine mounts, wiring etc etc! So it is expensive! By the time you work it out it will prob be cheaper to just get an GTR!

Its pretty impossible to sell a complete rb20 these days.. not too much demand.

good luck with the conversion

Just sell it to a CA18DE-equipped Silvia owner.

You won't get much for it, since the only guys who install RB20's into S13s are people who think that it'll cost them less than an SR20, but at least you'll get something.

i got quoted 10g drive in-drive out to fit a 26dett into my 33 gtst. place called high end racing in sunshine, melb. great bunch of guys if you are in vic.

[TTT]

so you are doing this conversion to get cheap iunsurance?

and you don't plan to tell the insurance company that you have an RB26 in your gtst?

you don't think that they can tell when you smash it and they use the jaws of life to cut your bonnet off to see an RB26dett smiling at them?

i would have thought that if you dont tell them and the find out then he contract will be viod.

[TTT]

Your thoughts are right.
