i understand you had this trans already, but i think it the long run it would have been better to just source a rwd trans.

An rb25 trans is over a grand, approaching 1500. The only thing would not have to be cut would be the floor, it's still the same height, the whole tunnel still would have to be cut out. the passenger won't even notice the transfer case there.

upside #1: 1500 dollars???
upside #2: I know this transmission is good. I pulled it off of a GTR that I had driven
upside #3: Have you tried buying an RB25 trans? They are not easy to find.

at this point, nothing I have done would have been any different than using a RWD transmission, with the exception of the 30 seconds it took with a sawzall to cut the extra bit of floor.

In all reality, the transfer case weighs at most 40 extra pounds. Now that it's being gutted, expect that number to approach the weight of the RB25 tail section...
I'm just getting frustrated with everyone bitching about my use of the RB26 trans.
But, for all the haters, I am cutting the transfer case off today...
