std block marked 05v on left side

Sooooo...three questions on top of how to identify the blocks:I hear the N1 blocks are out of production-true? And where can you find a new N1 or GT500 block? What can one expect to pay for said blocks(PM if you don't want to say publicly...)

From what i can remember when I was looking around for my N1 block approx 6 months ago was Nissan Australia had one for sale. The wanted something like $3600???? for it. Brand new. Good luck trying to find a GT block. If your really keen one of the guys on gtr.co.uk had one.... But that needs to come from the UK.

Is that your block Charlie?

I wish. I cant seem to justify the 6k price tag.

If you can find one.

[wrxhoon]

If you can find one.

Very hard ....... Only made 300.

so is there anyway to see these numbers while the engine is in the car and the turbos still on there? (i'm no where near my car ) Also i was reading in an old HPI magazine that some R33 GTRs got N1 blocks as nissan was apparently trying to get rid of them, this true or just a fable?
