I think if you look at the bottom end it's clear.

You might also read the tea leaves on the rb26 vs. 2jz because you'll come to the same conclusion.

But like Holdens and Fords, you choose your sides and you live with it and it'll be a cold day in hell before I own a Soarer or Supra.

T.

Then again when you can get gtr stuff and poke it straight into the 25 it adds a different aspect to the equation. Yes I realise you are talking stock but the rod upgrade is cheap and easy.

If anything, my only detraction from the 25 is the ease with which you can overboost the engine and the resulting detonation kills the pistons.

End of the day, horses for courses...and this is a skyline forum so bugger off with yer toyo crap (yes my soarer alternator died today so I'm off toyo)

i think they both sound amazing in their own separate ways, and both have their own better/worse characteristics

id go with this comment...there is a write up in zoom comparing the 1J to the rb26 look it up and read it i dont want to sound bias...

the RB25 is a fantastic engine but as far as 1J vs rb25 no offence but the 1J is better compared to the rb26...

I wouldn't say the 1JZ is better than the RB26, but it certainly is in a class beyond the RB25.

Daresay the reason you don't commonly see serious example of 1JZ is due to the vehicles they were released in (Soarer, MKIII Supra).

The update single turbo VVTi 1JZ is where it is at

The 1JZ might be a "class beyond" the RB25, but I daresay that the rest of the car (R32+ Skyline) is a "class beyond" any comparable Toyota. What do you buy a car for anyway, the strength of the bottom end? You can change that easily. But you can't change fatass porky styling. My "inferior" RB25 is pumping out 220+ at the wheels and I see any point in comparing it to other engines that are capable of holding more power. My engine does the job and that's all that matters.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
