The company swapped in a 3.2 L S54B32 inline-six from a BMW E46 M3 making 400+ horsepower. The motor features a custom intake, radiator, and exhaust. Behind the motor sits a 420G six-speed manual transmission with a lightweight flywheel sends power to a modified Nissan Skyline R33 R200 limited-slip differential using their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brintechcustoms.com.au\/all-products\/custom-e30-lsd-subframe-limited-slip-diff-rear-end\">diff swap kit<\/a>. The E30 rides on a BC coilovers with an E46 steering rack and upgraded bushings. A set of 16&#215;8-inch wheels cover Wilwood four-piston brakes with drilled\/slotted rotors in front. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=80655\" rel=\"attachment
