I love these arguments - thing is that both the RB26 and the 2JZGTE are good engines, but for slightly different things. The nissan is a shorter stroke, has larger cams, higher flowing heads and multi throttles - an awesome thing for pulling big revs, and resulting in big power figures. The 2JZ is square, larger capacity, later ones come with VVT and has sequential (tiny!) twin turbos - just the thing for hauling the queen mary out of the water before breakfast - yet its still a very smooth, and fairly clean revving engine. If I was to strike oil in the backyard and become a millionaire, then I would play with both engines...
The RB26 is probably a better thing for making a true race engine from, being naturally revvier and having a massive supply of parts for it. The 2JZ is probably a better thing for making a damned tough, but still friendly street car with.
Remember also that a 2JZ can be had for a helluva lot less than an RB26, with the savings on buying the thing in the first place being enough to buy one (or two) decent sized turbos to replace the horrible looking manifolds/turbos that come factory with it. Use any leftover money to fit a line locker, and buy a TM magna to fit it into, then sit back and (seriously) enjoy wasting a 300kw commodore in a very big and embarrasing way from the lights.
