the 3.0L twin turbo 2JZGTE motor is possibly the best engineered inline six built to date that is affordable. It has probably the best power to capacity ratio of any of the six cylinders available today, and are also a damn reliable bit of gear.

there is also a lot of jap aftermarket support for them too (which is not necessarily a good thing considering not all the jap spank makes things go faster).

All the RB26 fans will be in here in 1/4 of a second to defend the nissan stuff, so it boils down to you researching all the options yourself and deciding what is the best for you. an RB will always be an easier conversion into a skyline for example, but last time I priced an RB26 GTR motor it was twice the price of a 2J. :)

I own a mkiv TT and a 32 GTR and I can tell you from experience that the Supra engine wins hands down. Torque from the 2JZ is enormous from 2,000rpm and pulls like a freight engine to 6,000rpm. It flats out after that. The stock RB26 doesn't pull untill well past 3,500rpm and my modded one doesn't move until after 5,500 rpm. As a daily street machine, a BPU++ Supra eats anything in its path.

Then you lose the 4wd. Believe it or not, one of the Japanese tuning house has stuck a RB26 under a Supra hood and is racing the mutant with some success.

To give credit where credit is due, its relatively easy to spin the RB26 past 9k but doing even just 8k with a Supra will be much harder because of its long stroke design. The 6 speed has also got much shorter ratios meaning that if you're racing a GTR from a rolling start, when you shift from 2nd to 3rd, the guy next to you is right smack in the power band pulling a car length or two on you before your 3rd shift is complete. That's assuming both cars have similar power of course.

out of curiosity...my mate has a supra rz engine (i think its called), standard non-turbo supra. can he or is it possible for him to put a turbo in? i mean i know its possible but he seems to think that all he has to do is get the turbo and put it in (and only spend money on the turbo and installation-a couple of grand he rekons.). i thought that u would need a 2jz engine to cater for the turbo, or different wiring and along with the other shit to get it from a non-turbo to turbo.

Apart from different ECU, wiring, and different compression ratios you also can't just bolt the turbo manifolds to the NA block but I can't remember exactly what's the technical reason. The block is also different as there are oil squirters in the turbo models to cool the underside of the pistons. The NA block don't have this feature.

Ask your friend to check out www.mkiv.com. There's loads of info on mkiv and conversions. "Easiest" (and that's a relative term) way is to put in a 2JZGTE with harness, computer and the 6 speed but the conversion cost is not cheap. Economically, it might be cheaper for your friend to sell his NA and buy a turbo. Also check out the SX Engineering's website. I think they are developing a turbo kit specifically for NA Supras. Hope that helps.

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
