What if you had a 1J or 2J in your Skyline....I think I read correctly at the top where it says 'Skylines Australia' or is it just Skylines that have RB's fitted Australia?

Open your mind a bit.

So if a 2J head flowed more i put that on my RB26 bottom end?

;)

I know dennis had a 2j in there already ;)

So nobody has any numbers from rb25 or 26 heads then?

If so, post them up with the details of the testing procedure. :)

Also, link to stock internals rb25 running 10’s please.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=106775&hl= thats the stock internal rb25 thread

I love the RB engines. They are great. especialy a rb30det =)

But if anyone asked me what is cheaper to get power from the 1J wins hands down.

Ive got friends with less mods then me making much more power then me. Its not fair.

I have already blown one engine (which is why i went to the 3 litre) and there still making more power then me on there original engine.

*shrug* I still wont buy toyota because im a Datsun man through and through but I must say Toyota dont do too bad for a Toyota :O

The turbo on the other side was not a problem for me, even though it was my first engine conversion and my first attempt at making an exhaust. If anyone is worried about this and its the reason they don't want to fit a JZ itno their skyline PM me about it.

How did you stop the brake fluid and clutch fluid from boiling with a high mount turbo in a 30 minute race ?

:O cheers :O

PS; we raced Supras for 3 years, I have a fair idea of their limitatiions.

RB26’s won almost every touring car race in the world for 4 years. The only thing that stopped them was rule changes. Compared to JZ’s which have won ……..let me see ….…nothing.

I have plenty of numbers. but I am hardly going to share them so that our competition can work out why we are 2 seconds a lap faster than them.

:O cheers :O

stock numbers is what we are after.

jz's won nothing except the quickest pro rwd import in the world. Drag racing is the true test of an engines power.

GTR and supra are designed for different things. Anyway, off topic. Do you have stock flow numbers for rb25 or 26 heads? We already have numbers for 1j and 2j so only need the nissan ones now and that is why Dennis started this thread.

Funniest comment ill read today im sure

Dont forget...

The Driver

And the rear-end setup/suspension

And the tyres

And the transmission

Oh and also the amount of money thrown into the whole package

Drag racing is not a test of a true engines power at all. Its a test of an overall package, as with all motorsport.

He with the most developed package generally does quite well.

I would add;

track preparation

altitude

weather

regulations

etc

glad to see you left in the only thing that really matters, M...O...N...E...Y

In fact, why do they bother having drag races at all. They should just get all of the team owners together and weigh their wallets on the 1st January each year. The heaviest wallet wins the championship for that year. Save all the crapping around.

:O cheers :O

LOL, maybe i've read a funnier post... not sure... its close :O

And a rotary powered a motorhome? :O

Not that I'd put a Roytota in a Nissan , I am curioust to know if the 1JZ/2JZ were from a later era than the RB family so possibly later thinking involved ? I do know that they were supposed to be streets ahead of the 7MGE/GTE in bore and stroke and you don't have to weld the head to the block of the JZ's to get a reliable seal ...

I was once told that in the 80's and most of the 90's Nissan was run by petrol heads and Toyota by accountants and this resulted in the frog connection while Toyota was a bit more proffitable .

Its interesting to note that Toyota got into the US market with their 3L Turbocharged Supra while Nissan never did with R32/33 Skylines - don't think they were available anywhere in left hand drive ?

I think I'll stick with Nissan because they seem to go and handle as a package , Toyota seem to go out of their way to change bits just enough to make people buy genuine model specific spares . The fact that Nissan developed the GTR to win means we get the benefit of what must have been a hugely expensive development programme reasonably cheaply .

Cheers A .

lol at the defensive Nissan men!

Nissan man: JZ never wins anthing (comparing circuit cars not engines)

Toyota man: Only a 6.4 second 220mph, quarter mile pass which is fastest sport compact run ever. Got some RB data?

Nissan man: Not telling you any stock ENGINE data to as to why our CARS are faster around a circuit (assuming this can only be becuase the engines are better)

Nissan man: A 220 mile quarter mile pass means nothing of an engines power compared to the lap times of circuit cars which we use as defence for our RBs even when handling is the major benchmark of a circuit car, not engine power. lol its so funny you mentioned straight line speed when you should you should be looking at lap times to compare the power of engines. Suspention tires bla bla bla the whole package counts for the 220mph quater mile pass. In circuit racing bare engines race around a track so its a much better way to compare them.

Have you ever thought that Nissans kill the Toyotas around a circuit (where handling counts most) becuase they are a better car and that the Toyotas kill the Nissans in straight line speed becuase the engines are better? No we can't give credit where its due! We must be biased all the way!!

Cheers Dennis. Major Skyline fan AND JZ fan.

Nothing defensive either way about my post.

Not even going to begin to address just how utterly wrong this is and if anyone (RB/JZ/308) fan used it they would be the wrongest person that anyone of their friends knew :)

You have not been defensive at all. You said that a GTR is a better car than the Toyotas and I agree with you. I think its a joke to compare engines by looking at circuit times. Anyone that argues MPH at the drags is not a good indication of an engines power potential compared to circuit lap times needs to wake up.

PS, I just got some PM about fitting a JZ into a nissan. Seems there are some switched on Nissan owners out there :)

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
