i dont have a gsr anymore. i sold my gsr. i have to make a choice between a JDM ITR and JDM GSR. im really not trying to spend $2000 on a GSR long block and then just tear it completely apart to changeout the pistons. i can get a usdm type r transmission for around $1360 which will bring my total to $3360 (for a jdm gsr long block with usdm itr transmission) which is still $13-- less then the itr. But i wont have the power i want. If i got a GSR I would have to change the pistons to some CTR pistons and use my mugen head gasket and get about 12.3:1 compression. and i could use my omni power valve train to get some nicer cams. but by the time i spend all that, i could have just gotten an ITR motor. a GSR long block costs $2000. i do not want to buy a GSR block for $2000 and then rip it apart. It doesnt seem like it makes sense.
