This has been covered quite a few times, here are two good posts.
Additionally:
One of the major chassis improvements to the Type R are the front and rear anti-roll bars (also called sway bars) located underneath the car. The front uses the same size 24mm sway bar as the GS-R, however on the Type R the bar is a ball-joint type which mounts to the car and gives the highest degree of rigidity. The rear raises the standard as a 22mm sway bar replaces the 14mm sway bar equipped on the GS-R. The larger rear sway bar allows for much less body roll and decreases understeer to a dramatic degree to give the Type R almost neutral handling.
1. Aluminum front strut tower bar. The bar has been made stiffer than the GS-R's strut tower bar in order to more tightly hold the unit-body chassis together and minimize chassis flex up front. The bar has also been given a polished silver finish complete with a "Type R" decal to enhance engine bay looks.
2. Larger upper pillars and a thicker roof rail have been added to increase safety in the event of a high speed collision resulting in a roll-over (this is a track car remember).
3. The rear wheelhouse and arch extension have been made thicker and stronger to increase overall stiffness in the rear and help reduce understeer.
4. Thicker rear damper gussets have been equipped to handle the increased coilover stiffness and sway bar size.
5. The rear lower arm bracket has been strengthened to meet the demands of the larger 22mm sway bar.
6. An aluminum tie bar has been fitted to the rear crossmember to better hold the unibody chassis together and minimize chassis-flex in the rear. It functions similar to the strut tower bar up front (1) only it connects the underside of the suspension together rather than the top. A rear strut tower bar is equipped on the JDM models however it was deleted for the U.S. model.
7. Another polished aluminum bar has been attached to the absolute rear of the chassis to aid in minimizing chassis flex in the rear.

Yep. Now that was what I was hoping for.
So trying to make a GSR a Type R isn't just a few simple bolt-ons, but give your GSR the Type R engine and stiffen it up really good and you're cookin with crisco!
Just, I wouldn't put red emblems on it.
