You're very kind Liam. Hope you had a great day! I rolled up at about 11 thinking that all the tarmac spots would surely be taken. Our family only wished to stay for a couple of hours because Maria wa

A 2JZ engine?  that sounds familiar.... what car does that engine usually sit in?!

hmmm.... taking a camera?  i don't think i'll make it out there tonight ;)  at least the weathers holding up! :D

Edit:  SUPRA ENGINE?????  Is that right? Or am i thinking down the wrong path again?!?! why are you doing an engine conversion like that?!?!

We took a video camera down and shot a couple of fantastic launches. One against a low 11second BMW, beating it up to quarter track were his $400,000 dollars of machinery over took..lol go the GTS4.

The 2JZ is a 3ltr and also has VCT (variable cam timing). Can run 700hp with relatively low lag. It's measurements are 86mmx86mm(bore,stroke)..identical to the much revered and super-expensive OS Giken 3ltr GTR engine. Steel shim head gaskets are also standard on the 2JZ. I have a friend(I8A4RE) in Adelaide making 420rwkw from a internally stock engine(3years now).

Yes the rb25 has VCT but the Rb26 doesn't. I think Nissan thought if they were on to a good thing to stick to it. Would have been nice to see the VCT come with the 33's as the RB25's did. Toyota over took on the technology side, but, the GTR cult was already set in concret.

Last night i spotted a dark coloured (probably black) r33. I saw it in the in the Megamart thing in Penrith at the Mulgoa Rd lights about to turn right towards the M4.

It had a 400r front bar, fmic, white 5 spoke rims, i think it had side skirts but i couldnt really see, it was very quiet - might have had the stock exhaust. Plates - ALZ81Y

hehehe... if they were onto a good thing, wouldn't they have kept the vct?!!?  so the gtsts have them, and the gtrs don't?  weird!!!  why change like that? and if toyota took over, have nissan taken back!?!?!? :D

I guess the RB26 in the 32GTR was so successful they stuck with it. The VCT in the R33 GTST would have been an unknown. Nissan played it safe and stuck with a proven performer, rightly and smartley so but in hindsight VCT on a RB26 would havce been nice. Toyota's engine may be more advanced but doesn't have the revyness of the RB26 and max power is made at 5600rpm. It was designed to capture the American V8 market. fitting a 1JZ head enables a hybrid 1.5JZ which is popular in japan and revs nicely to 9000rpm. The 2JZ head needs alitle porting or head swap to be perfect. The RB26 is nice just the way it is...so in essense comes down to personal preference.

So in answer to your question Nissan didn't need to take back, they had the market by the goolies after it's unbelivable record of wins at bathurst with the 32.

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
