The lads over at JNC have posted an entry about Japanese tuning house Rocky Auto, including an intensely hot RB26-powered S30Z. While I’d probably go for an L28 these days, there was a very long period there where all I wanted was exactly this sort of Z. Classic styling, modern power. It might not be my ultimate goal anymore, but I can’t say it isn’t damn magical. Check out the original Japanese blog post here, with more photos.
I know what you mean about the RB. The L28 has major power potential and is slightly more period-correct. I’d gladly take either, but for now I’ll just eagerly await the next English translation of Wangan Midnight.
