Depends. If you can find the entire engine, Harness and ECU its almost a plug and play swap. Try to find a GTR front clip.
After that you'll need miscellaneous stuff like new plugs, fluids, etc.... , intercooler piping,

If you get a front clip it comes with the intercooler and piping. Only stuff needed for the motor are new plugs, wires, check the cap and rotor, change all the fluids, and check the belts. I know it's kinda pricey, but I went and replaced all the sensors on the motor too, but it's not necessary.
