SEARCH!!!

The RB20 / 25 Motor and transmission will basically drop right in the s30 or s130. If you want to keep your stock hood you have to drop the passenger side motor mount by 2in (I've seen people use a hockey puck engine mount or a 2in piece of steel square stock) and an aftermarket intake manifold or just get a cowl hood. You will also have to have a drive shaft made.

The RB26 is little more tricky, You'll have to change the Oil Pan and sump. get a RB20 / 25 Trans. plus everything listed above.

also wiring for gages is just like everyother motor swap.

Check Hybridz for step by step instructions. i would not suggest you post a question like that there though unless you want to be truely Flamed.

it's been done, it's all custom and you loose displacment, if you spend the same money on the L6 you could have more power
