JZA70 R w/ RB26 DETT Engine

[JDMMA70]

TBCMORRIS, wow. Cool saying, but true cus it's one of the best V8's ever made. JDMMA70, i'd like to see where you got that info from - where you read it.

And FYI, I own the DVD with the RB26DETT swapped Top Secret MK4 one gold AND one white. It's called Midnight 200MPH Blast (world's top speed bandit Smokey Nagata) by JDM Option - if you wanna get it.

They have that car AND a Skyline (Japan's version of the USDM Infiniti G35) with a V8 with TWIN TURBOS (engine code VK45 - one of Nissan's V8s). They put that engine in the Skyline because the new GT-R wasn't out yet and they wanted to build one with serious power to do 300+km/200mph runs!

Same with the MK4 Supra. They figured a 3300lb rwd car with superior aerodynamics mated with the RB26's power potential and high revs could reach 200mph faster than a GT-R with AWD. And it did!

So if someone put an RB26 in an MK3, then I say cool. The motors are pretty much the same price depending on where you shop. They do rev higher than the 2JZ, so what can I say? It's Godzilla!! I thought about it myself. But the badge...that's a different story.

And I don't know why they put JZ's in 240sx's when they can put an RB25 OR 26 in their cars if it isn't about weight! But I gotta give it to anybody with the ingenuity to do it. But the badge...such disrespect to the marque IMHO.

Uhh right ok, Swapping a RB26 into a Mk3 is like doing a 1JZ swap into a MK3 they rev just as high. Why people swap JZ's into 240sx is because a RB26 long block cost to damn much. Godzilla? hardly the R32 GT-R got that nickname because of its consecutive wins during group A.

Liked the idea, liked the swap. Unique car, at least its been done. Would i drive it? YES. Of course almost everyone here would say 2j in an mk3 over rb26 but i'd give props to who ever did the swap. I've met a guy that bought a skyline in Maryland, took out the rb26 and dropped it into a 240 so he could swap a 2j into the skyline. I dont hate the rb 26 supra, but that nissan emblem has to go.

Speaking from what ive been told from my buddies that on 32 and 33 GT-R's but youd be surprised the problems that plague (maybe apparent is a better word (with)) the RB26. They flat out said the JZ series is lightyears ahead of the RB. They looked at the bottom end of my motor and compared saying the 7M is more comparable to the RB than a JZ is. Then again im no expert, just going by what ive been told, and read.

That's what i was talking about when I said I wanted to know where you read that from...cuz love both those motors and I like to learn what you know about em. And I just had 2 take a while to get my point across last reply.

They picked the weakest link in the GT-R to swap into that car.

Fail.
