Backyard Behavior: GTR-engined S15

This is really nothing new technically, Tein has a demo S15 with a RB26 conversion done a couple of years back. HOWEVER they are a full-fledged established Japanese tuner with significant resources...

And out come this Australian guy who did it in his own! In his own frigging drive way!!!

Here's his exact posting on nissansilvia.com

"hey guys this is my 2001 rb26 s15

i bought the car 1 year ago it had the sr20 in it along with a auto gearbox, i had plans for the car when i bought it and that was to do the rb26 conversion and convert it to manual after doing a little research the sr20 and auto gearbox came out and made way for the rb26dett and rb25det gearbox
all the work was carried out in my drive way with help of a couple of mates and long nights. "

Here's how it looks like before the conversion.

After the conversion. Twin air filters = twin low mount turbos!

Stock clutch fan needs to be removed and replace with twin thin electric fans to generate enough engine bay space for the much longer RB26.

Check out the custom number plates. Props to this amazing achievement!
