R32 GTR to GTST conversion lol

**Bades** · 10-14-2011, 10:35 AM

Sup fellas, I am starting my new track car project and figured I'd post up some info on what exactly I'm doing. I recently picked up an R32 GTR Vspec rolling chassis off of a friend. This week I plan to remove all of the ateesa and hicas and begin making provisions for a rwd setup.

Currently, I am thinking of doing an rb25 swap and going large single turbo. But, that would mean I'd need to locate rb26 engine mount brackets or fab up mount brackets in order to bolt the rb25 to the GTR crossmember. I will be sure to post up many updates and pictures as the project progresses, so feel free to comment or ask questions or better yet offer advice lol.

Here is a quick cell pic of how the chassis sits as we speak. Mind you, I have already removed the r34 conversion kit and have began fitting the factory GTR panels back to it.

Nice project.

This is exactly what I would have loved to pick up for parts since my car is the same color.

Keep us updated on your project an how it goes!

Yea I mean honestly I wasn't the biggest fan of the colour at first but I'm def digging it as i fit it all back together....

if you have ANY questions just ask. i did this swap all by myself and wired it too. very easy. hardly any welding needed.
