hahaha OI !!! you cant do that !!!!

tosh she cant do that....can she ????? :D

A 2JZ engine?  that sounds familiar.... what car does that engine usually sit in?!

hmmm.... taking a camera?  i don't think i'll make it out there tonight ;)  at least the weathers holding up! :D

Edit:  SUPRA ENGINE?????  Is that right? Or am i thinking down the wrong path again?!?! why are you doing an engine conversion like that?!?!

We took a video camera down and shot a couple of fantastic launches. One against a low 11second BMW, beating it up to quarter track were his $400,000 dollars of machinery over took..lol go the GTS4.

The 2JZ is a 3ltr and also has VCT (variable cam timing). Can run 700hp with relatively low lag. It's measurements are 86mmx86mm(bore,stroke)..identical to the much revered and super-expensive OS Giken 3ltr GTR engine. Steel shim head gaskets are also standard on the 2JZ. I have a friend(I8A4RE) in Adelaide making 420rwkw from a internally stock engine(3years now).

LINK ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) I wanna see these vids! :rofl: thanks! ;)

And i thought they all had vct? i know the rb25 does! or wait... thats the equivalent of vtec and vvtli right?! sounds like a strong engine!!! 420 is alot of power!! with internals as well! shiiieeettt!!!! hehehe... he needs to make a trip to sydney! ;)

Yes the rb25 has VCT but the Rb26 doesn't. I think Nissan thought if they were on to a good thing to stick to it. Would have been nice to see the VCT come with the 33's as the RB25's did. Toyota over took on the technology side, but, the GTR cult was already set in concret.

Last night i spotted a dark coloured (probably black) r33. I saw it in the in the Megamart thing in Penrith at the Mulgoa Rd lights about to turn right towards the M4.

It had a 400r front bar, fmic, white 5 spoke rims, i think it had side skirts but i couldnt really see, it was very quiet - might have had the stock exhaust. Plates - ALZ81Y

hehehe... if they were onto a good thing, wouldn't they have kept the vct?!!?  so the gtsts have them, and the gtrs don't?  weird!!!  why change like that? and if toyota took over, have nissan taken back!?!?!? :D

I guess the RB26 in the 32GTR was so successful they stuck with it. The VCT in the R33 GTST would have been an unknown. Nissan played it safe and stuck with a proven performer, rightly and smartley so but in hindsight VCT on a RB26 would havce been nice. Toyota's engine may be more advanced but doesn't have the revyness of the RB26 and max power is made at 5600rpm. It was designed to capture the American V8 market. fitting a 1JZ head enables a hybrid 1.5JZ which is popular in japan and revs nicely to 9000rpm. The 2JZ head needs alitle porting or head swap to be perfect. The RB26 is nice just the way it is...so in essense comes down to personal preference.

So in answer to your question Nissan didn't need to take back, they had the market by the goolies after it's unbelivable record of wins at bathurst with the 32.

Kebab! SKY32R last night on Pacific Highway Lindfield and also again today @ 3:15pm in Chatswood turning off Pac Highway onto Fullers Rd

did you drive into him for a bit of fun tosh?

Or is it only the Datsun that you smash up :P

spotted WLD33t coming down Pennant Hills Rd - damn he was in a hurry...pulled up next 2 me @ the traffic light....talk about Mr Attitude!!! omg!

also spotted the oldest ugliest line i've ever seen turning into jasmine rd @ normanhurst...ADJ45P i think?

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
