Nissan will debut a special Datsun S30 at the 2026 SEMA Show. Chris Forsberg<\/a> and his team at Forsberg Racing<\/a> helped Nissan combine the classic looks of the S30 with modern performance.<\/p>\n

\"front-side<\/a><\/p>\n

The coupe has received a significant increase in power. The factory inline-six has been swapped for a twin-turbo 3.0 L VR30DDTT<\/a> V6 from a Nissan Z. Fuel is fed by a DeatschWerks 450 lph pump in a Radium surge tank in a Radium 10-gallon cell. Behind the motor is a NISMO twin-disc clutch, Nissan Z FS6 six-speed manual transmission, and R200 rear end with a NISMO limited-slip differential.<\/p>\n

The car’s suspension features a full catalog of Techno Toy Tuning<\/a> (T3) parts. In the front are their Evolved coilovers, Evolved front crossmember, Ultimate steering rack, GTX2 control arms, and sway bar. The rear received their long nose mustache bar, billet dog bone, Evolved coilovers, lower control arms, and sway bar. Braking is now handled by Wilwood FNSL6R six-piston calipers in front with 330 mm full-floating two-piece rotors on billet hats. The rear brakes are Wilwood four-piston calipers with 280 mm rotors.<\/p>\n

\"front-side<\/a><\/p>\n

The timeless body is lightened with carbon fiber fenders, hood, bumpers, hatch, and spoiler. Nissan “Seiran Blue” paint covers both composite and steel panels. Inside the wells they installed a set of NISMO LM-RS6 17-inch forged wheels wearing Gladiator X-Comp HP 245\/40 tires.<\/p>\n

A set of OMP Silverstone racing seats with Sabelt harnesses find their way into the interior. Behind the Grip Royal steering wheel are custom SpeedHut gauges.<\/p>\n
