1JZ is a good engine but i wouldnt say it owns a 26...

For outright performance they don't "own" an RB26DETT, though they definitely don't embarrass themselves - what makes them a particularly good buy is how cheap they are (at least in NZ) compared to an RB26DETT. They are even quite a lot cheaper than RB25DETs, which they in some respects are a bit better than.

fark another HPI puppet.......

both have merits and drawbacks, that said after building the supra i like the 2j better than rb26, but the differerence is only cubic capacity. Im sure if i got to compare a decent rb30/26 i be back on the fence.

I would say if your engine blows don't put in a second hand motor at all. either rebuild the one you've got, or rebuild an RB26 or a 1JZ. putting in a used second hand motor is not always a recipe for long term happiness.

I'd personally take a 1JZ over a 26 if u wanted to modify it. I explored the avenues os 1JZ, 2JZ or RB25DET for my GTS-X. A manual 1JZ halfcut can be had for cheap but then the fabricating to fit it is about 4 times the cost of the 25 for me. Everything on the 1JZ is backwards compared to the 26 as u probably know. For me to buy a good 25DET and gearbox and everything needed to put it in was 3500..... roughly 1500-2000 so max 5500 to have it installed, wired and finished with new seals and timing belt, water pump etc. 1JZ was about 2500 for everything needed including the halfcut to sell what i didnt need to do the swap but in the end I was looking at 8000 minimum coz I'd need a modded exhaust, completely custom engine and gearbox mounts and crossmember etc, completely custom wire the loom, plenum is over the other side etc etc. If u have the cash and if I had the cash I would have gone 2JZ but the 25 for me was more affordable. I guess ur going to need custom gearbox and engine mounts for either engine so look into it. If your going to mod it a 1JZ or 2JZ would be best if you dont want to touch the inside.

toyota engines are generally stronger, but unmoddified, your unlikely to break either... you start modding, you better keep an eye on the 26... the 1 or 2J though, will be more reliable...

seen it happen all too often...

Go the 1J, just put one in my bro's Cressida, what a weapon, boost is just about instant even with the Auto, i was suitably impressed (well I would be considering I have the no torque RB20 to live with).

That's OK, he will boil the brake and clutch fluid shortly.

:D cheers :D

    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
