ive been going through circles in my head... comparing the r32 , r33 skylines to my s14's. i talked to matt from import intelligence and he has a r33 gts now and he was saying it was like driving a rwd maxima.... i certainly dont want that. now ive come to think that i since the r32 is a lighter car and has the older rb20, i was thinking maybe to throw a sr into a r32 to lighten up the car and was thinking the handling of the car might improve a bit. whats does everyone think or have any personal experience... also, i dont want money talk, obviously there would have to be custom parts made...

I have seen SR's put into R32's before. It's like the C33 Laurel getting one. It moves the cars center of gravity closer to the firewall. It also lightens up the front a little. It does however provide for a lot more stability at high speed. Top Secret did that to a MKIV Supra with a 3SGTE. I don't know how it would make it handle on say a drift course or road course though.

i talked to a guy in NJ at formula d that had a sr powered r32 gts, he said its a whole different car.

Seen only one in real life, and others only in magazines..I saw a mark II with an SR in it on drift tengoku before. Would be especially CoOl in the states it seems..

Top Secret did a lot more than just swap in that 3SGTE.

AFAIK, they moved the firewall as far back as possible, situating the entire engine behind the front wheels (creating essentially an MR layout with the engine still in front of the driver).
