A Nissan 300ZX with Skyline Motivation

nissan 300zx turbo

The great thing about Japanese car manufacturers is that many parts are interchangeable between makes.  Just look to Honda and the variety of engine swaps that fit into a myriad of little cars.  The Nissan 300ZX is a worthy car in the long history of Z-cars.  This bad boy cam loaded with a twin-turbo dual-cam engine.  But this 300ZX is unlike any other.  While most work around the cramped spaces of the VG30DET engine bay, Russ Tennyson had something more magical up his sleeve; a RB26DETT engine out of a Nissan Skyline.

Old Skool Regamaster 17-inch rims fill the wheel wells while TEIN coilovers round out the suspension mods.  A JUN body kit and Moss Pearl paint job finish off the modification on this Z32.  While this is not the ultimate Nissan 300ZX, it shows what kind of abnormal path a tuner can take in building a project.
