What engine is in this G?

I know it says Skyline on it but I'm not familiar enough with those to know if it's the real thing or something else with a GT-R badge on it.

The car might actually look sick without that ugly GTR front.

R34 RB26.

If I was in the states Id buy that just for the ease of a swap into a non-F$(*&#$'d G35

Buy it, swap it, throw a single T88 on it and LOL yourself to an early grave, at breakneck speed.

If the engine is in the same shape as the rest of the coupe it's better left in the bone yard! There's no telling what issues you might have with a bastardized ride like this one....Gary

ROFL.

Just looking at the pic under the hood, it looks like it could use some love.

It's a flood car and I can see what looks to be wet carpet in the floor and it doesn't state that the engine runs. Do you think the engine and trans are any good?

Even if the engine doesnt run, a short block for this is like $1500 (In canada anyways)

If it did run, and all the wiring was done then ya, it would be worth it for the swap, since all the fabbing work was done...

Obviously only if the car was gotten cheap enough, and do your due dilligence to see if it was put together.... I garuntee that car is someone where on a G35 forum.. Its a RB26 G... look for it haha, youll find history.

Looking at the pictures, not sure if they washed the car or if it's freshly picked from a lake.

I got my last car off of copart (big headache). Since you are in Texas, why dont you go and take a look at it. Find the facility, call and make an appointment to see the car and when you get there, they will give you an orange vest and let you walk around the lot to inspect the cars.
