Are you sure it has a 3.0 liter, not a 2.8 liter?

That's unique, hmm, maybe the p.o. did an RB30 swap to the car? That'd be awesome cause that's a hard to find motor. That's the only 3.0 liter I-6 from Nissan that I can recall.

yea!

heh heh heh

lol

im curious too, but this is funny, how can the guy get some more power?

simple: exhaust, intake, throttle body

Tougher, MOREPOWER: turbo! new mild cam, get a lower geared differential, 3.90 or sumptin, ive gota 4.11, and it kicks sum bum!

and get a pic of that engine!
