Turning A 32 Gts Into A 32 Gtr?

[sleepyboi]

Hey all, first off, i think this was the right section to post this in, if not, then sorry, please move to a place more appropriate.

Anyway, i am on my L's atm, and will be looking for a car next year to buy for when im on my P's +further.

I am inlove with skylines ( No, i am not a ricer that is all ZOMG VL COMMO ON CHROMEZZ! CIVIC IS THA FATEST YO ) and i got around to the idea of possibley purchasing a GTS. The dream is a 34 GTR Nur when im on my full licence, but thats a lotta of time and cash away, so its not much to me atm.

Anyway, as you would all no the GTS has the RB20.. but i was thinking, just how hard would it be turning the GTS into a GTR? To take it out, put a RB26dett.. also, would some of the front of the cars panels have to be removed/replaced? Also, suspension wise would it need to be upgraded?

I was thinking if i can pick up a GTS while on my P's, i could save the money for RB26 and finally transplant that in when im on my full licence.. and have a GTR like i wanted, maybe not a 34, but i still love 32's. So yeah, any idea's/opinions? Thanks.

Mat.

body: front and rear quaters, front bumper bar and support, side skirts, bonnet, grille, spoiler and front indicators

engine and running gear: RB26DETT, AWD, gearbox, front and rear diffs, brakes, hubs, rear shocks.

to get the whole AWD part in you have to basically do a cut and shut on the chassis from the firewall forward.

can i recommended just sticking with the gts till you get your full licence?

I thought about this, but after seeing what anf has done it requires alot of time and effort which isnt easy for a 17 year old. I have a r32 gts rb20de and it's mad, just waiting to get the gtr. Be smart, learn on your gts then buy the gtr and do whatever you want with it.. think about it, 3 years before you get your licence and then you'll have $$$$ of saving. gtr + mods..

The cost is far to high.

cheaper to sell once on full license and buy a GTR

2GU UP - Thank you for all the info.

TRUBLSM - Who/what do you mean by Anf? Sorry i dont quiet get you there.. But yeah i understand your input.

Nismoid - Yeah, i was thinking that it was probably way to much money and not worth it.. hmm..

Thanks to all so far for there input.

as TRUBLSM said i basically did what you want to do but left it RWD and went RB30 instead of RB26

but 4 years ago GTRs were still worth a fortune and i bought my car dirt cheap

it was damaged so i repaired it and went GTR body.

Interesting.. okay.

I think i'll most likely go the way TRUBLSM suggested.. find a GTS to drive while on my P's and then just buy a GTR when on my full license.

Thanks.
