Not ultimate different...

I've just about finished doing it to mine

For the cost price of a GTS-R... around the 15k mark... then the RB26 everything else like g/box etc.

Your looking at around 25-30k depending on what you want to do.

Can easily top 30k total cost... Or start from a GTS Turbo coupe @ a cost of 5k rather than 15k

Price of a GTR it is... but ive had this car for a few years and my GTS-R came that highly modified from Japan so fitting an RB26 was kinda a mute point.

But i would NEVER modify a stock HR31 GTS-R. To me its a waste of money... unless like mine, totally non-standard already

Your skyline sounds awesome R31Nismoid got a link to pictures if you've posted on the site? what where the power figures when u imported it in?

Well where i live probally never has a R31 GTS-R ever driven on its roads but with those figures you have shown i could buy a R32 GTR V-Spec II or a R33 V-Spec casue i am upgrading car in a couple of months as you probally know i own a R33 GTS-T and like every other place theres a fark load but not many GTR's so seprating to a RB26 powered R31 GTS-R or V-Spec would be a ultimate diffrent i do have a fair amount off $$$ to spend too me it wouldnt be a waste of money as i find it fun getting stock cars and turnin them into nice looking beast's we just finsht installing a workt 4G61T engine into my mates lancer but if i did install a RB26DETT into a R31 GTS-R what do you think the 1/4 mile time be around? just seein if it is worth it not much information is avaliable with this conversion.

thanks for the help

if you want to spend $$ on a hr31 coupe you'd be better specking to a broker to get one imported, maybe something from r31house might be what your after, please use a gts-x not a gts-r, save yourself $10,000 if your just going to put an rb26 in there anyway...M2c

if you want a gts-r there is a bloke here on the gold coast selling one in mint condition something like 80,000Ks on the clock for $15000 or something close....

The main advantage of a GTS-R is the engine over the GTS-X, but since you'll be taking it out you may as well just start with a GTS-X

there was a gts-r on j-spec, with a 26dett w/ AWD for maybe 11,500 excluding compliance about 3 weeks ago. had fat wheel arch flares and uber-dish rims... id be checkin and seeing if its still there, hey.

Mehh.....Rb26 into an R31.....so last year. hehe

[R31Nismoid]

lol, i think mine will actually take longer than your did

[racsov500]

why do you want a GTS-R? is it because of the little red R one the badge? just get yourself a normal import coupe, saves money, time, and the molestation of a collectors car

oh, and rb26det and rb26dett are the same engine

[NismoR31Jet]

well.....not really......

Rb26det would assume 1 turbo and rb26dett would be 2 turbos. hehe.

The way Victory tells the story, RB26's came from the factory with either single OR twin-turbo setups

[NismoR31Jet]

In answet to the whole thread....an rb26 will bolt straight in to an R31 with the only changes being the sump and you need to fit the engine mounts off an RB from an R31. I also had to slightly massage a section of firewall behind the rear turbo to give slightly more dump pipe clearance also.
