Tenn Automotive interviewed Robert about his 1975 Datsun 260Z. In the engine bay sits a turbocharged 3.0 L RB-series inline-six built by RIPS Racing in Ngongotaha, Rotorua, New Zealand. The motor produces 530 hp (389 kW) on 17 psi of boost. Behind that is an ZF 8HP 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’s Millennium Jade and silver. The finishing touch is a set of Work Meisters CR01 wheels.
