Adam Beard from Twin Engine Corsa interviewed Stu about his Nissan 200SX. Stu explains the red coupe is built for drifting with a turbocharged 4.0 L Toyota 1UZ-FE V8. The motor features the factory bigger rods (1989-1994), reworked heads, Holset turbocharger, and rear-mounted radiator. Behind the motor is a BMW E46 manual transmission, custom driveshaft, and Nissan 350Z differential and axles. Adam recorded the car visiting EFI Parts for a dyno tune. There the turbocharged 1UZ produced 500 hp (367 kW) and 500 lb-ft (677 Nm) of torque but was dialed back to 480 hp (353 kW) and 480 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque for drifting. Adam followed Stu to Drift Matsuri at Anglesey Circuit for some drifting.
