I think it'd be quite cool, but it'll be a lot of work and quite expensive to buy and fit. Based on the prices in Aussie, I'd guess it'd cost you US$3-4000 to get the motor, plus you'd need a gearbox from a RWD Skyline and a custom sump (the GT-R's FWD system passes through the it's sump). Plus a 6-cyl motor is a lot longer than a 13B, so expect to move stuff to fit it in and restore the weight balance. I think this would be at least as costly and involved as a 20B swap (similar specs), so research that to get an idea of what's involved.

He's talking about a Nissan RB26DETT 2.6L twin-turbo. In Australia these cost ~A$7000, which is why I guesstimate US$3-4000 to pick one up in the US. That's just to buy the motor (no g/box or ECU).

You can get a RB26DETT front clip for $3000-$4500 USD. That's commonly too, not hard to find. You would need the RB25DET gearbox and sump like NZConvertable said.
If you aren't shooting for crazy hp (like over 800-1000 rwhp) then why not just get the RB25DET engine? Bascially just as strong, but 0.1 litre less displacement and already comes with the rigth transmission and such.

if he wasn't shooting for CRAZY hpr then the 20b would be the best idea, and hell if he was theres always a 26b, the 20 b would be alot easer too considering theres the prefabed motor mounts, TII trannys are pretty easy to get and theres just alot less work to be done... and anyways, piston in a rex? but that goes back to the 10 page agrument in the lounge a while ago...
