ok guys heres an update. with figures.
good news.
im getting a skyline front clip from japan without having to pay shipping thanks to a freind whos in the navy and living in japan right now. so far average cost for the clips we are looking at is 1000$ us or less.
ive gotten a hookup on an rb30 engine as well from australia, i know a guy there whos got extras and is gonna give me one all i gotta pay for is shipping. so im gonna be able to do an rb25/30 hybrid block when it gets here.
ive talked to 6 people who has done the install so far, they say is about as much of a headache as an sr20 install. and the only extra part im gonna need is a new downpipe which i can get from a guy in seattle who does the installs. gonna cost 100$. and the stock engine mounts out of the skyline front clip WILL FIT so i wont need any fabrication for those.
im gonna need a new rearend to support the estimated hp im gonna have (the stock rear that can handle 400 isnt gonna be enough) but i got a guy in fla whos gonna ship me one for about 200$ + shipping.
the bad news.
the front clip and rb30 engine wont be here for about 4 months cuase of how im getting them. and its gonna take me a bit more time to get the cash for the rb25/30 hybrid build. so over all downtime is 6 months estimated.
