i have looked at many things saying that you can only import an R33 from 96-98 and mine is sadly a 93 :(

Hit of the build thread list to see what all you'll need to get the RB running in an S-Chassis. Keeping the transmission might be tough, but maybe someone will trade you for an RB25 trans... Snag the front seats and all the brake hardware too. Hell, I'd try to keep the steering wheel too...

If its a RB26 R33 its a GTR and not a GTST. And unless you want to spend about 15K on making an AWD S13 your gonna want a RB25 RWD trans.
