R32 Rb25det

[treo]

As the title said, im considering going down the path of an R32. I currently have an R33Gtst and need to sell it due to finacial commitments, after selling it i figure i should have enough money left over to buy an R32. I have Been giving alot of thought to a possible conversion down the track to an Rb25det and gearbox into an R32.

My question is what set backs would i have as in buying a non turbo over the turbo R32 when doing this sort of conversion to an Rb25det an gearbox? I understand the brake setup on the Na R32 would probably be four stud hubs and smaller calipers than the turbo R32. When doing the conversion i would be upgrading to an aftermarket ecu (prob pfc) at the same time. So basically hoping to get some feed back with not to many setbacks, because purchasing a non turbo R32 would save cash than the R32 turbo!

Some of things that are smaller (not up to it) on the non turbo that you would need to change when going to an RB30DET (cheaper than RB25DET);

front rotors

front callipers

front uprights

front springs

front shocks

front stabiliser bar

radiator

intercooler

intercooler pipes

brake master cylinder

clutch master cylinder

clutch slave cylinder

map sensor

boost gauge

ecu

wiring harness

gearbox

tailshaft

diff (not lsd)

drive shafts

rear wheel bearings

rear uprights

rear sub frame

rear stabiliser bar

etc

It will cost you far more to add these later than it will to buy an R32 GTST M Spec first up.
