interesting use of an . Kind of a head scratcher though. The RB26 is such an amazing motor....not that the LSx isn't.

Read through some of the thread:

"I like that they put an antiquated poorly manufactured low tech engine like an American V8 in a Skyline!"

It's funny how everyone has differing opinions from different forms of racing. One man's Kool - is another man's WTF ?? If they are well thought out and well executed - I can enjoy them all.

the original motor in those cars is awesome and all, but i am personally a huge fan of the LS-X in anything motor swaps. that car probably turns a lot of heads at drift events.

i had a read thru of the post and found a video of it running on youtube... awesome car-- but those skyline fans/bench-racers sure dont like it... not dissimmilar to how that RB26 powered mustang somone posted here last winter got thrashed here by us... :_paranoid

anyway, thought id share since the car is built pretymuch how most 68 camaros on this site are intended to look and handle :D LOL
