I was looking right at him. I couldn't believe it was real life..... I couldn't move. I just stared and then inspected the wheel and it was OK so I said fuck it...

Even better. I forgot about all those miles of Everglades just off the road to your house. More like the crocs are making a meal of him now.

On unrelated note, I kind of think an RB26DETT swapped 86 would be awesome.

What? Better than a 2JZ swap. I'd still rather have a 300BHP NA FA20 though...

Why would you rather see the RB26 instead of the 2JZ? I would rather see an S65B40 swapped in, but maybe I live in another world.

Japanese were Axis, that makes them practically German!

Mostly referring to the "I would rather see an S65B40 swapped in" part. Why RB over 2JZ? Well, 2JZ is a boring swap. Make power all day, Supra, etc. etc.. The RB swap you generally see in other Nissans while this platform has that Toyota history so you see 2JZ swap a lot. I just think the RB is a more interesting platform - less exposure than the 2JZ, but still being among the more known engines.

Very true. My Dad used to always let it be known when I purchased a Nissan or a BMW that we had to fight them in the big one you know. Now he drives a Subaru, haha.
