Re: Question on converting a R32 GTS

your best bet is to get a 2 door GTS-t. Mechanicly you can do a complete conversion although it costs much more money. by complete I mean rb26dett swap and attezza member, 4 wheel drive, brakes and suspension. some people try to do just an engine swap. This is usually done with an RB26DETT and a 5 speed transmission from an R33 GTS25t. The 5 speed from the RB20 is not very good. This means doing some customizing to the existing oil pan/ tranny setup. Either welding the tranny shut

or making a custom oil pan.
Either way you need one of these trannys

There is a shop in Okinawa Japan that does these conversions and they charge 2200 USD for the RB26DETT with harnes and ECU, turbos and small parts. 500 for the 5 speed tranny and another 500 for piping and intercooler. to do a rear wheel drive conversion on a GTS-t they charge 5000 USD for all parts and labor. to do the same conversion, but a full one, 4 wheel drive and everything, they charge 7500 dollars. these costs are all after you suply the GTS-t to them. It seems kind of stupid to me though because a real GT-R can be had in okinawa for less than 8 grand so....

hope this helps some, oh yeah the name of the place is "speed factory" and it is in the town of Itoman in Okinawa Japan.
