Yes, there are two conversions to the Hyabusa:

The Smartuki is what you would call the "consumer" version. It means fitting the bike engine in the same space as the original engine. A whole new rear subframe is needed and you end up with a dodgy reverse gear. Car looks unaltered otherwise.

The other conversion is for racing, which is what you see on both videos. Car is no longer usable for daily driving (if you could register it) but you get a "proper" gearbox.
