If you go to jazzproparts.com they have the rb26dett (GTR) motor w/ rb25det (GTS) tranny for $4,200 w/ free shipping in the USA. As far as the motor and tranny mounts, I sent an e-mail to McKinney Motorsports to see if they have a mount kit for that engine/transmission combo. Still waiting to hear from them.

Yes the RB25 is a great motor but think about it. The RB26 was a race ready motor. Its actual HP is around 320, not 280. And with some research and tuning to the stock ECU you can gain alot of HP. Plus think about being able to brag that you have a GTR/S13.

If you are a beginning driver my PO is run some Koni yellows or Tokico D-Spec with white line springs or your spring of choice. The price is very reasonable, fully rebuild able and they are 3-way adjustable...plus if you mess one of the casings up you can replace it without a worry of too much money being spent.

For prices go here.

If you are a seasoned driver and also are looking to compete, Stance or Tein Super Drifts.

For prices go here.

If you fit the above description and money is not an issue, try looking at JIC or Zeal/ Endless.

McKinney motorsports sent me back an e-mail and it turns out that te mount set for the rb26dett is for a swap with the GTS RWD tranny. You can easily find these pieces at optionimports.com. The kit they sell comes with a drive shaft and costs $1100 plus shipping.

go to http://www.optionimports.com/mcrbmomokit.html

I am also planning on doing an rb26/25 swap or an sr swap. The only thing that would keep me from doing the rb swap is time and if it is insanly difficult.
