first of all. is it a r33 or r34 rb26? if its an r32 rb26 you are downgrading. the r33 rb25 is a way stronger motor then a r32 rb26. wiring will be a pain. alot of things wont work anymore. it can be done tho. just sounds like alot of work for not much of an upgrade. just my personal opinion.

motor mounts and trans will work.
never personally tried oil pan. but it should. or should be close. may have to drill some extra holes.

why go through all that trouble and money to swap in a 26 just for the sake of having a rb26 when you can build your 25 with the money?

a built 25 will be faster than a stock 26..

unless you're rich and are gonna swap in a built 26.

...but then again if you were, you wouldnt have started with a gtst?
