Awesome car man. I clicked the link and the engineering speaks words. Have you ever taken her to the track, looks like a real monster spesh with that power to weight ratio. Good stuff!

Come on Sulio!  You should know your nissan engine codes by now!  Not to mention the giveaway pictures of the exhaust manifold before the twins were put to bed.

At a glance looks like a RB26 but the second turbo...!?

RB26s ARE twin turbo.  The 2.6 RB only went in the GT-R, and it was always twin turbo.  RB25s and RB20s came either NA or single turbo, but not the 26.

i have to agree sulio, very poor form

although people do swap out the two turbos for a single, although i know i never would :D

awesome car joel, i've been watching your updates on hybridz over the months, possibly years. its not fair that you guys can get rb engines so cheap over there, although i guess there isn't the wide use for them there is here in aus possibly?
