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.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
