Nismo S-tune S1 engine is a nismo engine , yes its something special, its better than your stock nissan one. nismo made S-tunes for each model. You will notice the middle one is the nismo 400r which possibly utilized a Tuned version of the S-tune engine :) can anyone confirm?

I've seen some GTRs with S1 engines, according to Nismo they have around 400ps which is not all that significant compared to what one can do to increase power. Are they overrated or something special?

I see you're comparing the S1 engine to something alot more 'unstreetable'... are you asking because of the low bang for buck value it seems to have on paper?

The S1 engine are for increased power and torque across the rev range, giving a useable boost in those areas with less stress on the engine. It's a 'street performance upgrade' for GT-Rs (and others) and outright power is not the main focus. Think of it as a higher power RB engine from the Nissan factory, with all the reliability that goes along with it.

Thats not a 400R.

The 400R has a REINIK 2.8 litre engine called RB-X GT2 (N1 block with forged internals etc etc) 400bhp 478nm lazy

S1 is a rebuilt engine with N1 parts has 400bhp 450nm by nismo

R1 is a N1 block with N1 parts has 450bhp 480nm by nismo

F-Sport is a 2.8L engine with GT block and mostly Gt parts like the Z-tune not sure of the power

hope that helps

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
