Buddy, I don't see anything special about it and I seriously doubt this is the "World's First", I hate it when people say crap like that(have you searched the WHOLE WORLD?). But it basically just like this conversion with the rb25(which was done a couple of years ago).

Yeah this build looks serious, most of the others were not done complete with all the interior components working, TCS, etc.

from wiki
The RB26DETT motor found in the Nissan Skyline GTR, which powered the Mustang and Nissan Silvia S15 in the film...
@ 8upbad...240sx (Silvia) came with an SR20DET (no TT option) and the 180SX came with a CA18DET.

Nice build! Still a high rev'ing motor, but none of the apex seal problems I"m anxiously awaiting 2014.....then an 89 GTR becomes legal in the US. I will have one.
