Damnit. I'm starting to rethink my RB25DET now.

Grumpy, with your custom mounts on this are you still going to be using the same driveshaft that comes in your RB25 kits?

Also, what made you swap out the RB25 instead of modding the RB25?

I am highly impressed! You guys really do a clean job over there at McKinney, and should be very proud. Your shop has really taken these swaps to the next level. As a fellow Nissan shop, you really spark excitement in a fellow tuner's blood! Too bad you are so far away (we are on the other side of the US), but I am sure we will be seeing this car everywhere!

Congratulations!
