Bought A Rb 26 Block Today

[SRB]

i got myself a new block today, well not new, just been machined, for $1000, to my surprise it was marked 24U on the side, im happy also has a little R above the engine number, wat does this mean if anything??

thanks

[SRB]

i understand the 24u marking is n1, but what would he miniature R above the engine number mean?? :S never seen or heard of it.

I can swap it for an 05U if you are concerned

[SRB]

You have a N1 block, there is one better, the Nismo GT block , markings are RRR but they only made 300 of them and they were very pricey.

Were you just expecting to buy a normal block??

If so - You Lucky Bastard!

ye i was and i was in desperate need had trouble finding 1 in decent condition, decide to call someone up who i have sourced gtr parts from b4 and he said he had 1 lying around so i wnt n checked it out,, we look at it and he said for some reason it has a little R above the engine number on the right hnd side, i check the markings and it had 24U. i didnt say anythin about it being n1 as he might bump the price up, i paid 4 it and now its at my machinist getting bored out to suit my 87mm cp's 10 min later i get a call from a friends friend saying he has a spare standard block i can have for free providing i get it stripped and give back the crank etc so ye, was a good day for my cars road back to recovery!!!!!

I dont know if it means much the 'R' as i got one on my r33. above my block number, and its just a 25t. s1
