hey people, i currently have a 33 s2 set up 4 casual drift (zeal coilovers, zorst, front mount, 3037 etc) but im looking at getting my hands on a 32 gtst rolling shell and dropping in an rb26 that my mate has sitting in his garage in japan and setting it up as somewhat of a dedicated drifter that will see a little road use every now and then. im choosing the 32 becase of its increased agility due to it smaller size and lighter weight.

anywho, im just woundering if some of you could shed some light on the subject 4 me, any information such as cost, time, other misc complexities, additional parts needed (its actually a full frontcut that im getting out of a 33 gtr which ill be mateing up to an rb25 box with OS giken internals). basically any info u have at all would be much appreciated as i want to be fully informed before doing it as iv seen a great number of poorly calculated and thought out projects get of to a roaring start only to die nmid way through due to riseing costs etc.

thanks again

ardie

Aren't they like 100 kilo's heavier?

exactly!

and i just want 2 have the most power that i can while keeping it responsive, 26 = less lag otherwise id just rip out my 25 and put it in, already got some work done 2 that. i just wanna go all out, i dont want 2 turn around after building a 2nd 25 and go "damn i wish id put in a 26" like iv heard a few people on the forums say and also im getting the halfcut pretty cheap and hopefully the shell will be too so itll work out alot cheaper than some old thrashed gtr

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!

    • When you say basic rebuild, you mean an oem rebuild?
