@@negativeindustrial It's true the R32-34 chassis are true sports cars, the Supra is more of a grand tourer / street cruiser than the angry animal that is the GTR. The Supra in the JGTC series didn't even run a 2JZ because it was too heavy, they ran a 4-cyl turbo, their WRC engine (4T-GTE), so basically it just looked like the Supra you'd see on a street since race cars are completely gutted, these "Supras" won some championships, but the Skylines dominated the whole decade without being too different from the street versions. The A80 Supra has its niche though being as wide as an SUV (seriously) an engine capable of 800hp+ w/ stock internals to go really fast in a straight line. Plus can't beat rear wheel drive. I can confirm the A80 doesn't really handle well by today's standard (feels like a boat) as I daily one, its pleasant to drive w/ power on tap if you need it.

Actually it's not the biggest advantage the A80 has over the R34 is the chassis itself it's more refined and aerodynamic. When you're in a A80 things dont feel cheap either like the R34 the biggest problem is the BNR34 was made based off an economy car counterpart and that absolutely sucks. The GT-R has a better weight distribution but the Supra is more solid especially at high speeds on a road course. Also at high speeds you dont hear creaks and rattles like you do with a R34 chassis. The ATTESA gives way better traction and it can ALOT easier to drive than the Supra depending upon which tires you run. In modern day AWD can be irrelevant based on that because I've chased down Evolutions and Imprezas with ease on the touge. I've even had an Evo VI understeer into the grass in front of me on a road course.

One quick note/question. You said almost double the flow when comparing the RB 7.97mm oil return holes to the JZ 15.5mm returns. Circular surface area goes up exponentially as you know, so the surface area of the RB holes is 49.89mm² each vs 188.7mm² for the JZ. So each hole actually has 3.78 times as much surface area, meaning that same factor of flow, unless I'm missing something. That would also mean RB total return area is 249.45mm² vs 2075.7mm² total for the 2JZ, 8.32 times as much return flow. Also makes sense if the 2JZ oil feed hole is about twice as large as the RB, which would provide about 4 times as much area. Pretty staggering difference if my numbers are correct. I'm sure that oiling capability really matters when getting into high HP.

It actually makes sense for the RB26 to have thinner castings to save weight, after all it was built for the R32 to compete in Group A. The engine would not see extremes of power that would endanger it's integrity as it would be running restrictors and any extra material in the block would be dead weight. The design probably just got carried over to the R33 and R34 where it would not need more strength as only the R33 raced in Le Mans (again with restrictors), and all racing in the Japan GT circuit was limited to 500hp. The 2JZ on the other hand was built as a reliable, strong unit for a heavy street only GT ( Supra, Soarer and Lexus SC300) and was not constrained by weight limitations. The Supras that did race in the japanese GT championship did not use the 2JZ but the (racing only) 4 cylinder, 2.1 liter 503e.

To be fair, the rb30 was never designed to be a performance motor, hence being fitted into Australian delivered commuters (r31s and vl's) and patrols. It would be a fairer comparison to compare the rb26 and 2j, despite the displacement difference.

Man you Nissan fan boys don't give up huh lol the rb30 is the better stronger more efficient motor than the 26 hence why so many people fit the rb30 bottom end into their high hp rb26 builds same reason people put a 2jz bottom end on a 2jz for a 1.5jz build for the high flowing high reving head and 2jz strength

Thank you, excellent comments. The bore pitch of the JZ is 92mm, of the RB 96.5mm. I've calculated the actual journal overlap (the enclosed area of the intersecting lens) of the 2JZ (stroke 86mm, rod 52mm, main 62mm) at 5.53 square inches, and that of the RB30 (stroke 85mm, rod 50mm, main 55mm) at 3.25 square inches, a huge difference. Coupled with the greater overall length, the 2JZ crank is much stiffer.

Tex 13 I agree all three are great engines and the later 4G63’s addressed this issue but you and I both know the 90’s engines had SERIOUS crankwalk issues the second anyone attempted to run higher than stock boost. The 3S-GTE has always been a tank of an engine, especially from ‘94 on when Toyota switched to a MHG as stock. No offense, but the 3S was just a way more reliable engine from ‘88-2000 than the 4G for tuners as one would expect from Toyota/Yamaha.

You're right! After all the r34 especially was an overall technologically super equipped track/circuit assassin, purpose built not as a highway pull beast or dyno desyroyer.. The rb is surely still very functional in the package for its intended use, with many cool features and a race bred pedigree.. But on the other hand the 2jz is unquestionably capable to fulfill the power hunger and the number chase of our days. Don't get me wrong I love em both, it's just that the 2jz is so overbuilt and overengineered that it's insane! But you can't compare or diss either one, as much as you can't diss the Supra over the r34 and vice versa they're both great cars at what they do! But on the street/drag scene the 2jz is always gonna be the top dog for it can meet the obscene expectations and abuse of the particular application!
