JJ Zedler picked up his 1997 Nissan 200SX (a.k.a. 240SX in North America) completely stock. He loved the shape of the S14 Kouki, and couldn't resist getting one for himself, but he wanted to make more power than the factory engine was willing to dish out reliably. The solution to his problem was to swap in an RB26 from the R34 Skyline GT-R. Today, that engine is making more than 700 horsepower!
