it would also be interesting seeing how they ran the exhaust, considering its normally on the other side. Especially with the driveshaft going to the trasfer case, i wouldnt think that would leave much room for a nice flowing exhaust

*edit* just watched the video, its got some big bends putting it back on the "right" side

i doubt gtr boxes of any sort would last long behind a 7L motor lol

well i never said i had the details worked out perfectly. there would be a lot of issues, but damn it would be fun. even better when you chuck a set of turbo's on it. room might become an issue though

dont worry ive had the idea of a ls2 in my 4wd stagea for a long time but the gearbox is the main issue as it wont last with the torque of the motor, might be ok stock but with mods its not gonna survive.

Dumb, very dumb. BBQ'd brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder and slave cylinder, not to mention an overheated transfer case with any decent use. Basically flawed thinking with no real advantage.

i guess it was the old "lets do something no-one else has done"

for the same money time and heartache think of the sweet setup the could be pushing out of the RB???

it is odd how nissan japan never sized up to toyota and stroked RB a rb30e has a 6500 rpm redline i am sure with the minor changes to the motor they could have done the RB30DETT put it in a SPEC series car sold it for a bit more

It has actually been done and the work was performed last year in Bangkok by a well known local tuner named OTTO SHOP.

This modification is not for the first timer as a lot of work needs to be done to make it all work well. Engine swops are big business here in Bangkok but a modification like this involves much more work compared to a standard engine swop.

Much aluminum welding to the gearbox has to be done to get the gearbox fit the 2JZ. Exhaust also comes down on the other side of a JZ engine and needs to find a new way under the Skyline without overheating the clutch. Other things must also be customized but the gearbox modification will be the big thing.

The reason for them doing this modification was simple. To buy a second hand RB26 engine is much more expensive than a 2JZ as the 2JZ is not only found in the Supra but also in more common models and therefore more available as second hand.

The OTTO SHOP also wanted to exeperiance their work with a modification like this. These guys are good and know very well what they are doing. They have built numorous performance cars and engines in Thailand.

In Bangkok there is also a huge number of very skillfull aluminum welders so in many ways this was a great mod for them.

3:50 into the first video and you can see some of the welding and cutting that has been done to the gearbox. SORRY BUT YOU TUBE DOES NOT ACCEPT THIS FILE OF 141 MB. WILL TRY TO FIND A SOLUTION FOR POSTING IT LATER.

The car has a OS 6-speed sequential gearbox and in this video you can see it accelerating 2 times through 1st to 5th gear on one of Bangkoks highway`s.

The video is from a VCD which came with the magazine and I dont know how to extract the file from it. Thats why its shot from my TV screen.

The text in the magazine and the video is both in Thai.

Hope you enjoy it.

well thats definately different. good on them for breaking the mould. but i think i only would have done it if i was converting to LHD then u wouldnt kill clutch, brake, etc.

EDIT: come to think of it, i remember hearing something about some1 in Aus or NZ that put a 7M GTE in a R32 GTR

it was in Aus and it was actually a r32 gtst with a 7m, ran 9s on its first night at the drags (built by Rigoli from memory), the 7m is now in a datsun 1200 i think

I caught up with an old friend over xmas that had spent his spare time squeezing a twin turbo supra engine into a 3rd gen Celica, don't know what was funnier? The fact that it looked like it 'belonged' there and was quite well done, fully engineered job, or imagining the looks on some rural V8's getting owned (...by that I mean, "horribly raped") by some ugly as a dogs bum, kind-of-red, stock-shitter 1980's hairdressers car. :D

That's awful. One of if not the greatest Japanese engines pre R35 in one of their worst cars.

WHY?!

just like dr evil said to the mole with the mole "ABOOOOAAAAAHHHH" as in= this is just not right. i love 2jz's and rb26's but each to their own.... why not make a supra 4wd ????? why the hell put a 2jz in a gtr it doesnt need it..!?!?!?!

sure there is a big drive to do something unique in the world of motor sport but this just seems like a waist of time and money(as stated before yest brake cylender/clutch slave and master would get too hot cos of turbo on the wrong side!)

yay for being different but nay for one big f**k up!

rb26dett is the only engine that belongs in r32/33/34 unless it has a 30 bottom end.... that still makes more sence than a 2jz!

just my 2c worth

woulndt be too big of an issue with heating the brake master etc if you do it right, look at how many supras are out there, how often do you hear about them having brake issues due to heat?

wow a 7m in a 1200 id like to see that!! must be a neat fit!

engine conversion is slightly easier than chassis redesign/modification. plus, the GTR is already very well set up chassis and 4wd system. putting a new engine in it will give it more/nicer power to use, putting 4wd in a supra you will have to not only fit it all, but the chassis isnt considered to be as good for handling,, and then you'd still have to tweak the 4wd system too

and for person above, it was indeed a GTS, not GTR

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
