I had a few questions on the Skyline GTS-T, I was wondering if they are an economical alternative to the Silvias and AE86s. I do not know much about the GST, other than it is RWD and RB20 powered. I was just wondering if it would be cheaper than a 240 since most people are unaware of the GTS-T. Although they may try to sell 'em as "GTR"s to people who don't know any better. I'm just looking around for something to replace the mn12. Post pics of some GTS-T's if ya would.

Actully guys, The Skyline GTS has the RB25det engine which is the 2.5 liter Single turbo, the turbo is a T3 clone with ball bearing center cartrage and ceramic turbine wheel. You can find a R32 GTS for around $9K or sometimes less, but the big price comes with the american legalizing, shipping and of course your aftermarket modifications hehe. I mean i have seen GTR's go for $25K
The RB20DET was used in the R31 skyline in 1986 and special addition Z31 (300ZX turbo 88-89) called the 200ZR. It is yes a 2.0 Liter straight 6!..revs as far as the eye can see heheh. Have fun guys.

Yes you are correct, the R31 - R32 has the RB20. but your much more likely to run into a RB25DET then a RB20. The 20's are almost non exsistant even out in AU and japan. I know becuase i needed the RB20 oil pan out of the 200ZR when i was looking to install a RB26DETT in my 240Z. Now bought a S14 Sr20 for weight and price purposes for my swap. Should be interesting to say the least
Take Care.

How bout an R32 GTS-T with an SR20DE like the one from the early sentra SE-R's, i think they had an sr20. Couldn't you get an sr20 to 200hp on the motor or would it be too peaky for street use, or how bout a NA RB25 or 26? I'm just full of ideas on this one. Personally I'd like to swap in an infinity Q45 345 V8. Then you've got both hi-tech power and that great v8 sound.
