That's one helluva Franken-car... Honda body, Toyota engine and transmission, and a Nissan rear end. Crazy stuff...

maybe people like the car they have and just want a better engine?? i know my lil brother luvs is GC8 and wont part with it for anything. so instead of him putting out 5k for a ej20 swap... we are goin to be putting in a 1jz. i hope it will be the first AWD 1jz GC8.
