Yeah, but the RB26DETT is mad tyte JDM, yo. It doesn't matter that it would be a significant downgrade from a GTM TT'd VQ and prohibitively expensive and difficult (if even possible at all), it's Jay Dee M!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Points well taken, but I wasn't talking in terms of ME doing the swap guys. I'm going for the GTM kit ALL the way. I was just wondering in terms of reliability between an I-6 platform and a V-6 platform. 500 HP is definitely more than enough for me, but I was just speaking hypothetically in terms of the swap. But I agree, that swap would be best suited for a much older chassis than the G37.

Understood.

You asked if it was possible; with enough time and $$$$. any swap/mod/upgrade is possible. But the real question is will it be worth it-as others have said, the driveability and long-term cost issues may turn this swap into a bottomless money pit.
