omg i cant believe im going to do this but....agreed

find urself a 2j and a getrag lee and u'll be set!

you should have put one in the gtr. you would have had less problems :laugh:

lee, 2j IS a better engine. there is no opinion about it, its common knowledge. 2j is better built in almost every way. the rb26 is good, but unreliable. look at all the gtr's on this forum and count the number on the road. there is actually a workshop in brisbane that will do the swap for you no probs, they have mounts and everything already made up.

that's what i found when i did my first build up.. every man and his dog had an opinion, and almost every one of them talked absolute shit lol

just go with your gut, you'll thank yourself later!

i wouldnt suggest a 2j conversion for lee, its a bit costly, and really only useful in a straight line. it would overweigh the front of the car, ruining the weight balance.

stick with the rb20 lee and put a little bit of money into it. you dont need a lot of power to go up a mountain fast.

look at lowering the weight and balancing the car, you'll have just as much fun then. thats my opinion anyway

dont worry mike i looked into doing a 2j in the gtr, but if i was to keep the awd (which i wanted to) there woulad been too much custom work on the sump. give u an idea, the 2j has a stepped sump, the front section being 130mm wider than the bottom of the gtr block.

yeah i know, i saw someone trying to do one a while back, ending up scrapping the project because of the amount of money it would cost. in a silvia though, it would be much easier :laugh:

There a a few people who build engines for a living that can describe many reasons why the Rb26 makes a better engine in a full tilt application. There is a thread on it here in which SK describes why and I had heard the exact sentiments before

As a mild tune engine the 2j is awesome...as a "race" engine the 26 is better according to these engine builders

i wasnt serious, sif lee could afford a 2j conversion :laugh:

no there isnt, but every little bit counts on corners. when my new car arrives i will show you what even the slightest of balance adjustments can do.

that all comes down to opinion really. whether you can afford a full blown race engine or not. if we are talking one that gets rebuilt every few races then maybe, i'd go the rb26. but for reliability i'd pick the 2j.

i think we should stop this argument, remember what happenend on boost cruising when we did this on purpose?

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
