This engine was also $13,200 or so depending on the exchange rate.
Here is a Nismo VR38DETT S1 Spec ready for your R35 GT-R.
Basically a S1 VR38DETT is a blueprinted close tolerance engine with the GT3 camshafts and larger GT3 turbos. Basically this is the same engine found in the Nismo GT-R. It goes for a cool $25,300. Considering that a Porsche GT3RS engine goes for $50,000 its not that bad of a deal!
If you wanted to get a higher power RB26, Nismo also has F Sport engines for sale.
The F Sport engines have a higher grade of internal parts and have larger turbos to make more power.

Nissan outside of Japan is only interested in selling you their disposable piles of junk rather than assist you to freshen up the Nissan that you currently own.
Wow, awesome place. Probably impossible to get one of those N1 engines shipped stateside.
I have been a couple times, but always enjoy seeing these cars. R31s probably haven’t been at the top of many people’s lists, but that GTS-R is very cool. I have a little die-cast of that R91CP and was actually in Japan when they were racing – really wish I had gotten a chance to see them. Appreciate the coverage!
Man the RB26DETT looks decidedly old school by today’s standards. What’s the included valve angle on those? Looks extremely wide given the angle of the cam covers.
And the VR38 looks awfully tall!
Thank you for sharing your time at Nismo. As a devoted subscriber to SCC, I’ve always enjoyed your photography and narration.
