It's def possible and money would probably be the least of your concerns, plus I'm sure there are ppl out there who would love a RB25 and tranny...I heard it's almost as easy as a Honda motor swap...

But why trade a perfectly good car (Evo) to get a a Skyline and throw it back in the shop for about a month or so to get all the parts and labor together for the RB26 swap? And at the end of the month, you still don't have the AWD goodies...the time and labor is just not worth it to me.

I would just keep an eye out for a R34 GTR...

But right now, if it was my money, I would still lean towards a no....only b/c I'm personally, in love with ONLY the R34 GTR...

No way. I'd take a Stg 4 evo with a turbo kit any day over an old skyline. Not worth it.
