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 :worship:

Cheers

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

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 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!

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..?

Yeah sure.

Where's the fun in that? :)

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

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

Edited by VB-

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

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
