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.

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!!!!

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?

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:

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
