Well I got the bpt in my new car. I feel sick sending my black baby to the scrapper, but hey. I spent yesterday swapping in the gtx. No I have to wait for the new intercooler to show up next tuesday befor I can drive her. I think I really enjoy doing motor swaps. The first time I put the motor in it took me 8 hours. Yesterday I started at 8am and was done well befor 1pm. **** I was haulin ass. I am in the proeccess of making an ECU adapter to wire my safc into. That way I don't have to mess with the factory wires. And that way when my GTR ecu shows up I can just plug it in with no prob. Ill take pics as I make the harnees to help anyone elso who wants to make one.

Well there are some pins that need to be change, but that will take 5 mins or so. Ill post a how to on it when I do the conversion. I believe there are also some wires that need to be ran. There is an extra one for the jdm throttle body, and the knock sensor needs to be wired. So I guess it isn't plug and play but hey, it will so be worth it.Too bad I have AWD and you don't!

have you dynoed the 2?
How can you be sure of the differences? I'm not trying to start some crap or say its impossible or anything, I am just curious what your basing your claims on.
I would have thought that since the GTR has low impedance injectors and other crap, you would need to do more than just move a few pins and run a wire or 2 here or there.
