2jz in my 33t, admitedly thought / wanked about this one, the driveability + the power to wieght, awsome,

3lt of sequential goodness and she is great stocky, the stock power + the usual bolt ons would own, then the price of doing it.

as I'd have to pay someone to do it, not haveing the patience and most importantly the no-how to do it safely, ie not have shit break under stress.

secondly, i'd want an manual and doubt the box that comes with the car could fit it.

third, i'd want to keep my active lsd, not likely to meet the torque requirements of the 3lt for long.

drop an 2jz and 6sp into my 33, we'd be talking over half the value of the car,

guess the car would be a shitload more saleable afterwoods though.

definetly cheaper than just buying a supra, but then again, 25+k for a non vvt supra is shithouse

sucky how only the yanks got the aero manuals eh

whats the difference in wight between the iron rb25 and the .. iron ? 2jz-gte ?

Someone said that the V8 R33 would have crap handling. You are wrong. The all alloy LS1 weighs f**k all. I bet there would be less weight over the front wheels than a stock R33 GTSt. I don't think the 2JZ would weigh much for than a RB25, you have a little bit more block hight and the weight of an extra turbo. My R31 weighs in at 1380 with a towbar and some other bits and pieces and half a tank of fuel.

wonder how a 2jz in the stagea would go (2wd only) with auto, when i put the 26 into another lighter car.

so who is gonna do the first 2jz 4wd gtr, surely someone will do it considering ive seen a full gtr 4wd setup installed into a vl commodore which would be 100 times more work than modifying the rb26 box to fit on the back of the 2jz and the 4wd sump to suit the 2jz.

thumbs up for an awesome job :rofl:

got any photos of the x-member and engine mounts?

There are pics of the gearbox Xmember in my first post. The engine X member is stock and unmodified. I just used R31 rubber mounts and made custom brackets to join it all up.

I have often thought of how poorly the RB25 is matched to such a heavy car as the Stagea and how the 2J would be much more suited, the RB26 would fair better than the 25, but the 2JZ would work MUCH better at moving such a heavy car. I think you will find it goes harder without having to ring the engines neck, and you will probably get better fuel economy too. How about selling the RB26 for its overinflated price and fitting a 2JZ into both cars? :D

I take it you have probably seen these before, but I figured while we were on the topic of Skylines being powered by non-Nissan engines, I might bring it up again. This R33 has a 5.7L LS1 V8 shoe-horned between the strut towers, done by Street Force in WA.

What the hell is this.....when did this happen......i thought holden and nissan combinations went out with the VL's........not a fan of holdens but hell, i think that it would fly.

Regards Evan

hmmmm 2jz in my 33, wank wank wank pop....

could you mate the nissan box to the 2jz ?

or would you have to fit the getrag box in

doubt its going to happen

rather just get a supra and make a skyra hahahahahahahaha

love the sup's butt, not a fan of the front end

interior kinda sucks to

but LUV THE DRIVELINE !!

soudns like a sweet conversion. lloking forward to 1/4mile run vids

thats ls1 skyline would be great to see, it would confuse the piss out of some holden loving bogans!!!!

steve

Actually I think it was done to stick it up the Skyline boys rather than the Holden fans. I have long been a Holden fan (still am), I currently have a VN SS with a 350hp baby stroker sitting in the Garage, which is just begging to find its way into my R33..... Tempting, but I don't think I will do it. If I was going to do a V8 Skyline, then I would do a Supercharged 355 V8 or something similar - it would have to be a 10sec package to make it really stand out. It would be kind of stupid going to all that trouble and getting beaten by mildly modified Skylines....

hahaha, cheers dude, its supercharged now, no longer NA, check the link in my sig.

I have always wanted to do a V8 Skyline. I was planning to do a Holden 5.0L into an R32, but I just don't have the cash to do it properly. I worked out to do what I wanted would cost me about $50k.

Got any pics of yours? What engine did you use, what has been done to it?

just check the link out dude its a complete build diary

I have seen your car before. Nice work. Race ya? :) It would be sweet to actually be beaten by a R33 for once :ermm:

Mate having owned a 5.0L ss and driven a handfull of LS1's i'd go the LS1 if i was blowing that much cash.. LS1's have HUGE top end compared to GEN2 v8s!! How cool would a supercharged GEN3 be in a 33 tho! :sweat:

  • 10 months later...

Car now runs a GT35 and does 12.1 @ 124mph. Reason for the crap ET is the stock torque converter and subsequent 2.35 second 60 foot time. I will be chasing 10's soon with a bigger converter as it now has the balls for a 10 second pass as the 124mph trap speed suggests.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
