not quite a "busa" engine but in that ballpark. I personally dont see anything wrong with the skyline engine swap. looks like fun to me.

I've noticed a lot of these import vs American car threads in the past month.
I find valid points on both sides.
I think some of the hatred for the tuner car crowd comes from the continual loss of revenue American car makers have while the foreign (Japan & China) car mfg get subsidise on their products.
It's been one sided for 25 years. I don't think our government will be happy until American car mfg's are gone.

I could be wrong but that fact alone has kept me from ever buying anything but American cars.

Personally, I don't like the car. If it makes the owner happy then it's cool with me.

i use to have a 240sx with a rb25det same thing in that mustang. i spent 6k on the engine tranny wiring harness ecu and everything else to get it in the car and runing. if i do one again it will be a small block ford or chevy. the rb you cant get parts for at auto parts stores. i waited 2 weeks for a used starter from aus and was close to 300 bucks.
