For that much money, a turn key LSx swap would be a hell of a lot more attractive to me. Yes, it would be more money still, but not a whole lot more.

Lots of people out there with much more than that into their engine. Odds are good every car featured in any magazine had at least that spent on the engine alone, if not more.

never compare a complete engine price in Japan to whatever you can do with your money elsewhere in the world.

Nismo Omori Factory regularly sells rebuilt RB26 engines for anywhere from $20-65k+ USD. The engine pricing is anywhere from a basic rebuild to about 500+WHP mods, but for the money you spend you're better off getting something from somewhere else and build your own.

However, what these shops do is provide a complete turnkey service for the customer in Japan. The engine may be orderable for an overseas customer, but 1) there is an engine deposit/core charge required, and 2) it's meant as a "drop off your car at the shop and pick it up weeks later" type of service.

Omori Factory is one of those places where if I lived in Japan and owned a GT-R, I would love to have them work on my car.
https://www.nismo.co.jp/omori_factor...ice/index.html

An example are these 3 from Jan 2017:

Left to right, the prices are JPY 4,800,000 // JPY 7,150,000 // JPY 4,300,000.

None of them are more than 500WHP as-is. All 3 still keep the stock twin turbo config with upgraded N1 units.... which still suck.
Omori Factory sells a lot of these in Japan every year.

HKS dealer pricing is anywhere from 25-40% off MSRP.

Some of the dealers out there sell the engine for cost and just charge for labor. It's not unheard of.

If you're HKS Pro Dealer you also get a marketing allowance every year, so if you use it on one complete engine you basically get a $5k discount off your cost.
