cool swap, kudos to who ever done the work, but its a pointless swap, the Rb26DETT is more than capable of making huge horsepower

it would be neat if they stuck a 5.6 titan motor in there with a couple turbos

Might have better weight distribution with that engine. The RB26 is an iron block straight 6, so it will be longer than an aluminum block LS1 block.

American power combined with Japanese knowledge is awesome!

not a bad idea imagine the torque!

I'd rather throw a 3.2 litre stroker kit on a N1 block keeping with the straight 6 and wack on 2 T04z's turbos...

Not these. Not these mongrel cars... I'm afraid this isn't the only Nissan with LS1 I've heard of...

Probably why it was done - the LSx is lighter and shorter in length and height than many other engines of a smaller displacement (thanks to the pushrods )

This is what Hot Rodding is about - motor transplants...

Not with a Nissan. Ford - Chevy swaps I can tolerate, but Nissan?

sticking a small block chevy into a skyline would vastly improve the car even if it did do any sort of injustice to the engine itself (which I'm sure would feel more at home in a muscle car of some sort.)

Impressive, but... isn't the Skyline engine more than capable of doing the same hp???

I love these Japanese imports with LS1's in them.. You never expect a rice rocket to sound like that

Only thing is, I doubt its still got the Attessa AWD system.. but then again, RWD only isn't really a problem
