240/supra?

[Isr]

whats up, was just looking around on ebay and found this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...&rd=1

its a s14 with a 7M-GTE supra engine, i never knew this was possible. just thought some people might find this interesting

[Riceless]

Wow, look at all the extra room for hands and tools. Someone put a lot into that.

Anyway, welcome to nico!

[nismofly]

theres a couple 2jz 240s running around too...lots of work

[TheLocust]

huh, a lot of hicks around here call my SR'd 240 a "wannabe supra". I assume there reffering to Mk3 turbo's so yeah just thought this was kinda odd.

[Florida240sx]

More work than a vg30dett?

[Riceless]

There's one way to find out... You'll just have to buy that coupe and try it yourself. Then you can tell us.

[240marcuSX]

it looks almost like it belongs in there.

[Morph]

Wouldnt go that far.

[themadscientist]

7M, good motor, bad head gasket, heavy car. I have seen a 2JZ in an S13, didn't look "like it belonged in there", more like some strange porno where you can't beleive it fits.

[chmercer]

^^^rofl.

but yea if i was going to do some wierd hybrid swap i would go with a 2jz way before 7m

edit holy crap that is the worst body kit i have seen since like ever.

[GrilledCheese33]

wow, someone ruined an s14, what an awful bodykit. Why would you even put toyota parts in a nissan?

[themadscientist]

because Toys don't die, Nissans cough up their guts. It's a known fact. They put SRs in Hachirokus all the time, don't get your panties in a bunch.

I noticed some things that gave me a chuckle

[themadscientist]

ahem

[themadscientist]

easy with the wrench killer

[ON3_T1M3]

haha looks like he just grabbed the 1st engine around swapped it in his S14 after he blew w/e was in it b4 so he could sell it quick.....the body kit looks decent at best, until you get to the rear bumper totally horrendous wow

[naed240sx]

Yeah the car looks really good, expecially the color, but that body kit is just ugly. It looks like a transformer or something haha

[MAXIMUS Nismo]

man you guys are cruel, eagle-eyed bastids!!!!!!

I love it. The rear of that car does make me want to puke.

[Florida240sx]

If I seen that ca ron the road I think I'm goign to rear-end it because that is horrible.

[titanium240]

Perhaps it's just me, but that car looks better than most other S14s I've seen, and dropping a 7M-GTE in a 240....heh, I'd hit it pretty hard!

Props to whoever did that super clean job!

[Florida240sx]

Only thing I don't like is that rear.Love the color.Can't go wrong with engine....should of been an RB instead but hey maybe he wrecked his supra so why buy another motor...

[wickiewicked_240sx]

what is that turbo for that engine cause there was a supra with the turbo still attached looks like the same motor too...

[themadscientist]

Toyota CT26. TO4B-ish I would theorize as far as power potential.

[StrangeLove]

I saw this same auction a couple of months ago... Hmmm I wonder why

[JimmyMethod]

Yeah, same here, I saw it when I was shopping around for my new car.

Good Lord, look at that exhaust! I don't care if it IS turbocharged... I've seen elephants with smaller anuses than that, and there's two of them!

Anyhow, I agree with GrilledCheese. If you're going to swap, stick with the same make. This is like seeing a 351 in a Le Baron.

[lofapoo]

Nothing wrong with swapping a Toyota motor into a Nissan chassis. Sounds like wanna-be purists just wanting to hear themselves speak. Sure it may take more work than swapping in a RB, but the motor is more easily available in the US, and the power potential is up there right with the RB. Reliability on the other hand almost makes it worth the extra effort to swapping in the Toyota motor. Not only are they indestructable to anyone who isn't burning out for half a minute every other day and such, but the parts to replace what needs replacing are more available in the US. Now I know the popularity of the RB is growing, thus making parts more available, but this is a motor that actually came in a car in the US, and it's not 20 years old.

Mmm, I can't wait to swap a 2jz in a Cressida

[HashiriyaS14]

That's a hella neat swap.

Do some minor exterior work, and clean up the swap a bit, and that'd be one sweet ride.

[Onizuka]

The only things I dont like about the 7M is its heft, tendency to blow headgaskets, and architecture circa 1978. Lots of potential, but I'd pick a early 90's 1jzgte over that if I were going to go through the trouble of putting a toyota motor in a nissan.
