Um...

We need a bit more information.

A V6-I4 or vice versa swap is pretty involved, in which case you need basically a donor car.

The year matters, for the 4 cylinders. There were two, totally different options.

Location? We have members from the Maritimes to Texas.

get the gtx. gtr's are hard to find. in the time you wait you could have a gtx in and enjoying it and if a gtr comes along scoop it up and swap it over. then sell the gtx.

that link and your statements are sadly highly mis-informative and wrong.
gtx 180hp @ 8psi < gtr 210hp @ 8psi
gtx vj20 turbo < gtr vj23 turbo
gtx 4 lug - gtr 5 lug
those are the smallest first three things that come to mind. the motors alone are completly different aside from the power and turbo. read up on them.
the link also states the BF and BG chassis cars are simular which they are not.

The v6 swap is not simple.

I can vouch for the difficulty in the B6 4 cyl to the KL V6. I recently completed mine with an extensive amount of work. Still working out some bugs as well.
