In the engine bay sits a turbocharged 3.0 L RB-series inline-six built by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ripsracing.com\/\">RIPS Racing<\/a> in Ngongotaha, Rotorua, New Zealand. The motor produces 530 hp (389 kW) on 17 psi of boost. Behind that is an <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ZF_8HP_transmission\">ZF 8HP<\/a> eight-speed automatic transmission transiting power to a Nissan R34 Skyline differential. Robert installed a Top Stage Composites hood, flares, and front splitter. He painted the body in a custom color combining Nissan&#8217;s Millennium Jade and silver. The finishing touch is a set of Work Meisters CR01 wheels.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"
