Ask him if it comes with the unicorn installed.

I call BS unless someone is selling you some "creation".

That said, I have no idea if the cradle is the same. I imagine it is. I would pass on the deal because it sounds fishy.

Uh... yeah its called a GTS-4

It was the R32 body style and had an AWD RB20DET in it.

Im not sure anyone has much experience with that on the boards but i do know the power steering pump is different on them because i have a friend that possibly has a GTS-4 motor in his car. It did not come with a cradle so i cant tell you if it will work or not.

Judging by the way that x-member looks, im going to say it most likely wont fit.

I thought I remembered there bieng an AWD rb20det. I figured the odds of someone actually having the cross member was nil.

I wouldn't say "everyone". I know a few people who can lay down some skyline knowledge here.

Yourself included? I'll figure stuff out sooner or later, just don't have Nissan Fast to look stuff up, and theres not near the knowledge base that SR's and CA's have.

What's a "Skyline"?

The front crossmember is different. The rb20 is also different, and not interchangable because of the AWD stuff. The power steering pump is also different because the GTS4 uses ATESSA like the GTR instead of HICAS. GTS4's with RB26 or Stagea RB25 swaps are sexy IMHO and my friend just did a RB25 into a GTS4 with some weird half ball bearing T04e .60 trim or something like that. Sneaky as hell and pretty damn quick.

O yeah, they made a R33 GTS4 also, but it had an N/A RB25 in it only.
