10k to do an engine and manual conversion? Sorry but I HIGHLY doubt that much labour would be involved.

Also, I'm pretty close with my workshop and am sure I could workout some sort of sponsorship deal. A 350awkw stagea would be a very nice promo car indeed me's thinks.

well im talking engine install, gearbox install, clutch master, custom length driveshaft labour, engine rebuild labour is gonna be 2k easy, diff install, all the wiring which i highly doubt u will find a 260rs harness. installing turbos, fuel pump, injectors, clutch, brakes and every other single aftermarket part on that list.

trust me 10k sounds a lot but u go ask a few workshops, its not all bolt in jobs which is even more pricey. ive seen people get charged 5k labour to put a rb20 in a vl which is absolute peice of piss using stock parts, stock vl exhuast and all. my mate paid $5500 for 2560s turbos installed and the turbos are like 3k max.

that was only an estimate btw, i have never paid a cent in labour in my life so i cant say from my personal experiences, but i know it aint cheap.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"
