Quote: | Now who's talking out their arse?

I was more giving my personal feelings with that statement - perhaps heritage may not have been the ideal word - but it is a statement with which many of the Toyota A-chassis owners/lovers (perhaps including yourself) may agree witht he below paragraph in mind.
Both the Nissan Z-cars and the Toyota A-cars started around 1970, give or take a year or so for international releases... and both marques have enjoyed a basically uninterrupted production life of around 30-35 years, so to say that they do not have at least an equal heritage is bollocks.
Oh, and I said nothing about you talking out of your arse, but now that oyu mention it...

Don't let us stop you - by all means you have the right to take the wrong path with engine choice (again) 
And besides, you're not comparing apples with apples. To rebuild a 7M *properly* to the standard of a 1JZGTE will cost up around $2,500 to $3,000 - for which money you could have high-flowed the turbos on the 1JZ and had a base engine capable of 400hp.
You also skirt around the inherent problem with the 7MGTE CT26 turbocharger in your comment.
Don't get me wrong, I think the 7MGTE is a great engine when rebuilt - but there are much better options for less money. MUCH better options.
I have had experience with both engines, and let's just say I won't be going with a 7MGTE any time soon unless I suddenly find myself with heaps of money to spend getting the result I could have from another engine for a better price.
