Nissan 200SX RB25-400TT

This car was converted by us in 2003 and appeared both on the cover and as the main feature car in Japanese Performance magazine issue 48 in January 2005. 

The car was the first twin turbo RB25 conversion in the UK and one of the first few RB converted cars on these shores.  It produced an easy 400hp on a rebuilt but completely standard bottom end from a crash damaged R33 GTS-T Skyline and was the test mule for the subsequent PTS RB conversions.
