The Ultimate R32 Gtr, Powered By 2jz

[Sydneykid]

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?

Every day

like dropping a RB26DETT in a old skool mussel car...

its been done, there is an old monaro around in WA running an rb25det, goes pretty well too, was at motorvation, all the big v8s going up the track, then this car, just as fast, but making a completely different sound lol

If my RB26 ever breaks (unlikely given I've only done 5000km driving in the last 4 years, and easy stuff at that) I'm goign to drop in something a little different.

If you want a 4wd 2JZ then get an Aristo and put Aristo 4wd components in the front.

Personally, I'd go for the 1UZ 4wd Aristo (rare as hens teeth though), put a pair of big turbos on there and have a GTR ETA!

[MP_R33]

still prefer an RB-26

[babyskyline]

As others have said. Too much time, money and effort to do smething like this and all it does is create more problems imo.

Would have been better spent making a big powerful rb26 that would kill anything on the road

It's good to see that they put in the 2JZ while keeping the 4wd system.

Yeah sure.

Question, could they have Stroked the RB26 to a 3 litre?

Save doing the engine conversion..?

Where's the fun in that?

I can't remember what the thread was about, but I guess it was to be 'different'.

LOL! Ah ok... Yeah I see.

But as some have said there will be a few heating issues, but Im sure it was sorted out.

how much is the 3 litre kit worth in japan? from memory its around 30 grand here, thats a pretty good reason to go with a 2jz.....

PS - that was fully assembled i think, so i guess the kit itself owuld be cheaper.... but still, 2jz has heaps of cheap parts from the states compared to RB's

You guys are completely missing the point with the conversion. They obviously did it to show case there custom fabrication and engineering skills as well as:

a) Being different

b) Creating hype over a 2jz 4wd GTR, full knowing it was going to be spread around the Internet.

What better marketing ploy.

Tough extremely powerful rb26’s have been done to death, how would this workshop be any different show casing there skills and abilities?

The point of the conversion is show casing there ingenuity. Nothing more.

not really a muscle car but i have a magazine with a pic of an EH holden with a RB26 in it. i thought it was pretty smart, good power (and prob economy)without following the V8 flock

heaps of people have put RB30's in em, same principle really?

I only spent $30k to get the JZ in there... now I can save $15 on a gasket which is so great I can tell you!

what makes you think it would cost that much to get it in? especially if its a car built by the shop as a demo car?

Ahh.. it would be the $30 conversion then !

Ripper !

One carton later and it's all in. Mint!
