1987 Nissan Sunny with a LEAF electric motor and battery pack

Tommy Pike Customs (TPC) built this 1987 Nissan Sunny Truck at their company in Greenville, South Carolina. Tommy Pike and his team swapped the factory inline-four for a Nissan EM57 electric motor and 40 kWh battery pack from a Nissan LEAF. The electric motor offers 147 hp (109 kW) and 236 lb-ft (319 Nm) of torque. Behind that is a custom transmission adapter, factory 56A four-speed manual transmission, custom driveshaft, and factory rear end. TPC upgraded handling with a Nissan 240SX (S13) front suspension and disc brakes. The rear suspension received heavy-duty leaf springs. On the outside they installed a “Hakosuka” Skyline widebody kit and custom Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) “46” livery. Under the arches are Rotiform 17-inch wheels with Toyo Extensa 205/45 tires.
