Im confused with the door panles on your rb26 vert? They are usdm with the seat belts but the car is JDM??

I see you got the Skyline rad in there too! I always hated using a spacer for the brackets on the top!

Do you have the RB25 tranie or the RB20? Did you do the swap yourself? Ive done a few but not in a vert! Looks cool! everyone must love that with the 26 in her!

no the car was swapped to be rhd. I'm using the rb25 transmission and the swap was done by a local shop called fueled performance. Most people aren't quite sure what to think about the car when I drive it. but I'm thats mostly because I have 3inch straight pipe on the car for exhaust. Yeah I didn't like the spacer to much but it is really the only way to keep the car cool in the hot 100deg plus weather that we get.

what mounts did you use? did the shop make them or did you buy them? and did you need a custom manifold to fit the 2 turbos?

and it looks sick

$375 is LOTS! I pretty much get A31 crossmembers for dirt free in Japan and they bolt right in! Can drop out a CA or SR and have RB in in like 2 hrs! Then you can also hybred the driveshafts so you dont need to make one either!

Ahh I see what you mean about the wipers! I was fooled! Me like though!

the r32 cross member was used as it came with my r32 clip. The stock manifold is being used on the motor because the steering shaft is no longer in the way so there was no need for a custom manifold. The car moves pritty quick on the streets. I dont really drive it all that much but is fun with the top down. it gets great looks from vet ower's that are confused about whats under the hood. I have never had any one want to race me with it yet.
