1975 Skyline 2000GT with a 3.5 L Inline-Six
JDM Legends built this 1975 Nissan Skyline 2000GT as a GT-R tribute at their company in Murray, Utah. Power is generated by a 3.5 L Nissan L-series inline-six built by Rebello Racing using a diesel shortblock with a custom stroker crankshaft. The motor features Jenvey individual throttle bodies, Fujitsubo stainless-steel exhaust system, and Adaptronic standalone ECU. Behind that is a Jim Wolf Racing clutch and Nissan CD009 six-speed manual transmission with a ZCar Garage adapter. The rest of the drivetrain comprises of a Driveshaft Shop aluminum driveshaft and a R180 limited-slip differential with a 4.11 ratio. The Skyline’s suspension uses adjustable front coilovers, MK63-spec front disc brakes, and Datsun 240Z rear drum brakes. Covering those are RS Watanabe R-Type 15-inch wheels with Toyo Proxes R888 tires (225/50, 235/50). The car was bid to $97,500 on Bring a Trailer.
