It's not such a bad idea. I love the sound of the skyline inline 6. they're not that expensive either. My friend bought a front clip recently for a couple grand. How does the height compare to the supra motor?

ok I am sorry that wasnt worded right. Lest put it this way, I want to run 600rwhp, and by run I mean not run to the store, well that too, but that inclides racing. Meaning the engine will be under alot of stress. how long can a 600rwhp rotary last?

yes, just look at SP Engineering "SUPRA 7" a rx-7 with a 2JZ.... looks cool but a well modified RX-7 with a rotory can do the same....
Yeah freakin right!!!!
There isn't any 2 rotor engine that could suport 1000 HP! Nor is there any 7 that could keep up with a modded supra7.
As for this swap, I am pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard. The worst part of it would be wireing the whole thing up, and I could do this swap for under $8000 grand (if I already had the car). You people really don't know the cost of things, or maybe you buying everything brand spankin new.
But a GTR front clip cost about 3-4 K, from Jarco. And it would come with pretty much everything you need to do the swap. That is if you keep it bone stock. And then to keep it cheap you would have to fabricate everything you self from scratch!!! And the RB26 probably isn't any taller than the 7MGTE, or 2JZ. So there wouldn't be much problem with physically fitting it, although you would PROBABLY have to cut the fire wall, and move the engine back some.
But if you can fabricate everything your self, and leave the engine stock, it woun't cost no stinkin 35,000-40,000 bucks!!! If I had that much to spend on my supra7, I could have a 6-7, 1/4 mile car.
