RB26 E30 BMW
Thanks to Jeroen from Speedhunters for kindly throwing this build my way. Once again, everyone’s favourite car (or should I say, the Internet’s favourite car), the E30 BMW, get’s some major lovin’. This one’s getting it’s new heartbeat from Nissan’s finest, an RB26DETT (with both T’s removed and replaced with one big T). Purists look away.
It’s still in the build, so head to either http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f152/1986-bmw-326rb-32022/ or
http://www.onyxsyndicate.com/newman/e30gtr/e30gtr_00.html to keep up to date with the progress.
wow sweet color…..crazy ex routing!
There are so many things I love about this. The engine, the exhaust routing, the overfenders, the cage, the fact that it’s an e30… I mean, I don’t know what I don’t like. I guess 315-series tires would be better in the rear, but that’s hardly a big complaint I could hold against it.
[...] There are even some crazy re-engineers who saw a BMW v12 and a BMW chasssis and made the two play nicely together. That’s definitely something I can get behind. My favorite is the feature BuildThreads posted about an rb26-powered e30. [...]

The guys at DBM Engineering in the Netherlands have done the same (and a whole lot more) with this E36 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5qmSmFMgrU
