ENGINE
This engine bay is all business,
although you’ll notice it’s also kinda
weird, with R33 Skyline shock towers
and a hybrid Holden/Nissan firewall.
For those chucking a sad about the
lack of Holden power, just remember
this built RB26 was running to
7000rpm on a run-in tune with 23psi
of boost. It now copes with 40lb and
can rev to 9700rpm all day. Huss,
master of understatement, explains:
“It’s stroked to 2.7 litres, but mainly
it’s worked off its head!”
CHASSIS
The floorpan and chassis
rails may look foreign to
those familiar with the VL
Commodore, but this conversion
looks like it’s meant to be there.
Not only does the Skyline floor
allow for the complete AWD
running gear to be installed
without modification, it tidies
up some of the VL’s unloved
attributes such as the low-
hanging spare wheel well and
exposed fuel tank
