Mustang meets Skyline

[CruxGNZ]

Supposedly for the new Fast and the Furious 3 movie to take place in Japan, here is a Nissan Skyline RB engine in a early Ford Mustang.

I'm one for hybrid cars, so it's a pretty neat swap in my book :thumbsup

[BOSS LX]

Ya, everyone knows Ford motors cannot make any real power.

Why do they need to destroy a 68 fastback for that gay movie?

[T-Bag]

gay movie

That's why

[VroomPshhTsi]

gay movie


That's why

:rolf

I seriously don't get it though, why not just put a REAL gt500 in the movie? That mustang with that exhaust looks incredibly weak, I'm not liking the nissan powered stang at all.... I think it's a bad attempt to capture old school fans who will say "yay the mustang won" and then the ricers will say "yeah, but it's powered by nissan"... that idea is as lame as paul walker

I remember hearing they needed a motor for the car in Japan, and they used what they had.

Retarded.

[Slow Joe]

Wait there's a The Fast and the Furious 3?!?!? Why not just call it 3 Fast 3 Furious 3 Three... LOL :rolf Someone has to know where to find the video clip... :thumbsup

[nismodave]

Great Engine........Lousy car and movie.

That stang is going to see alot of power with the size of that Turbo on that RB26.

[sloLs1]

Definatly a clean looking swap(no bundle of wires under the hood!) but the can on the back needs to go! otherwise i think it is very different!

[MY4RCDGSX]

actually, for the poster that said that he remembered them using that motor because it was there... that was for a late 70's mustang that was red. That one had a 2JZ (supra) motor in it as well... that guy actually responded on some board somewhere and said the reason for the swap was just like the poster said -- lack of american muscle parts.


Sweet hybrid though... I agree with no having that pipe on the back of the mustang. Ick. :durr

Why not just call it 3 Fast 3 Furious 3 Three... LOL :rolf Someone has to know where to find the video clip... :thumbsup

YES!!! That's the one I was looking for... :rolf :rolf I can't look at the other one here at work... Damn web blocker....

[USMARINE1108]

Words cannot describe how wrong that is. I'm going to call my congressmen.

[Al]

We need to get all of the other US car forums to try and get hollywood to make an american muscle car movie...with lots of real wheelstands.

[theavenger333]

this ones supposed to be about street drifting instead of racing i think......

[TransAm12sec]

lol, I just thought of this. Some people get pissed when you take something original off a car, and put on an aftermarket piece such as an intake manifold.

[Slow Joe]

Ummm I finally got to look at the pictures of this poor car since web blocker blocks too much **** at work... And that looks horrible... LOSE THE CAN! That's what I say... Poor Mustang, I agree that ruined that car... Someone please swap a 289, 302 or such back into it... Even cooler a 460 :-)

[nismodave]

Rb26 > 289, 302, 460

[Slow Joe]

Rb26 > 289, 302, 460

Never said it was a bad motor or anything like that... Just that I'd rather see one of those three in that car... It's one of those things that I think it'd be more in it's place than a Nissan motor in to a classic Mustang...

[Al]

Rb26 > 289, 302, 460


I think that we should do the opposite by taking a jap car and putting a US motor in it. Hmmmm...I do recall a rx7 with an LS1 in it.

[jbiscuit]

I like unusual swaps also but that fart can ruins it! The RB-series motor is amazing so this is a cool idea.

[Slow Joe]

Unusual swaps are cool... I guess it is the fart can... I've seen RX7s with American V8s in 'em, as well as Jaguars (XJS) and the Porsche 928 (why they'd ruin that car I'll never know)...

[T-Bag]

Rb26 > 289, 302, 460

Not in a classic American car.

AGREE'D just waiting to see pics of the 2JZ'd Camaro i'm sure there will be one! :headbang

[FourEyedFord]

you stink

[Berettaspeed]

the funny thing is. as much as everyone hates these movies because they are so far off from cool, is i bet everyone will goto the movies or rent it LOL...
its like you have to see it. just because you have that little hope it just might be a good one this time. LOL

[turbogarrett]

Why would anyone swap in an engine from a different manufacturer? :goof

I my eyes you took a huge step forward. With this mustang they took a huge step back!

How about a na 408ci Windsor that makes 600 hp, and if that isn't enough throw on a large blower or turbo' and make as much hp as you could ever want or need.

That whole thing that they couldn't get parts is BS. I am sure within a week they could get anything they wanted.

Nothing against that motor but throw it in a early 70's Nissan!

YUP! That's what I was thinking... I mean come on now... I started naming Ford engines to put into a Ford... it made sence to me... :durr

[slow90z]

Pretty much a built turbo'd windsor would mop the floor with that piece of junk

[SlowStee]

now thats a ****** abomination

[nismodave]

Man I havent seen the stang guys so upset since Scotty put a real motor in his LX. :rolf :rolf :rolf

And calling the RB26 a peice of junk?? Thats as Ignorant as calling the SB 350 a pile of crap. :banana

[TransAm12sec]

What's condi?
