Drifting brings you up close to some of the most unreal cars you will ever see. Drifting also brings those same cars up close to walls and results in things you never want to see. Here a two different S13s in two different states of existence.
So I can think of at least one guy from home town that will appreciate this S chassis stuffed full of a RB25. Hopefully , more than one person enjoys this, I know I did. More than that, I love the Kouki drift car look.
With all the awesome coming from Up garage U.S.A’s S13, it is only fair that I balance this post. After all too much of a good thing can be a bad thing.
A smashed S chassis is just about the worst thing in my books. I can handle a few zip ties but a full on botched face lift breaks my heart. At least the car went out doing what it loves. I am sure it will be back, or at least I hope it will.
i love seeing DMAX get blown to pieces.
That is pretty much exactly what I would do to my 180 if I had any money laying around…. saw that car in super street a few months back, nice to see it hasn’t gotten to know any whorish walls.
Love that 180, however am i the only one who is fairly certain thats an RB26, i has all the r26 pieces and 2 air filters
Jesse, I would be lying if I didn’t think it was an RB26 when I first saw it. However, when I tried fact checking the article, the only write up I could find stated that it was in fact a RB25. There are some traits that lead me to the conclusion that it was RB26 but nothing in writing to back it. If we can find some proof, I will change it for sure.
i swear i can read Rb26 right on the valve cover… and it has two HKS air filters.
im pretty positive its a 26, and im not even a nissan guy……
If you guys must know…… It is a RB25 with RB26 twin-turbos.
Yeah that confused me to. All I could find is this, scroll down to the pictures of his car. There is one of the engine.

Poor Tommy Robberts. Maybe one day he’ll keep it together.
