200sx's have bene done a few times.

I find more interesting the SR20 into a skyline to get rid of the boat anchor like weight of the RB though TBH

I had the idea of putting one of these RB26 lumps into a new shape commercial Nissan Terrano for a laugh! Would be costly but very shocking to some on the road

Seen Skyline engines in...

Skylines of all ages
200SXs of all ages.
ZX's of all ages (240 right up to new 350)
Cefiros
Supras
Nissan Patrols
My Chaser
Focus
Laurels

Loads of others, but CBA thinking.

SR20 in Skyline conversion is gayest ever.

2JZ conversion is a better idea anyhow.

Dream? More like an understeer nightmare

They are bad enough anyway, without all that extra weight so far forward.

Ask Top Secret, their fastest Supra was RB26 powered.


While your there, you could ask them why they fitted a 3SGTE too
