I did some searching around, so before you ***** me out and tell me do go do a search please just read my simple questions. Ive seen the rb25 install kits, I think from http://www.supertunermotorsports.com and the kit is only 695 dollars. -Other than mounts and harnesses is this a drop in swap?-Will I need a custom drive shaft?-Can a use an rb rear diff?-Is there welding involved?-Ive done swaps before, but mostly hondas.. and those are a walk in the park. What kind of difficulty level am I looking at with this project?-Approximately how much time will it take with one helper?-What kind of difficulties have you run into with your rb25?-Other than the cost of install, and cost of the clip, how much more would you say it would cost to complete this project?

Suggestions, comments and critisizms are always helpful, If anyone is willing to aid me in any way it would be greatly appreciated.

Silvia dreams I am in the process of the same swap. These are the parts/custom work done. Motormount kit(not needed but highly highy rcommended,custom driveshaft, better fuel pump including a 300zxTT fuel filter, should look into a better radiator to keep the motor cool, custom exaust(3 inch is best), yes the Skyline differential will work but like others with other modifications, and also highly highly recommend the http://www.supertunermotorsports.com kit(the full swap kit including the battery relocation kit. If Im not forgetting anything else thats all youll need to do. No welding and no custon fab work besides the exaust and d/s

I also recommend keeping the open diff for a few weeks to get used to the power

I got an e-mail back from STMS. They say that thier test cars frame was bent and it threw evertything off. Thats what they measured everything by. They are correcting the problem.
