Can someone here help me find out whats makes a r32 NISMO engine better then a r32 stock engine?

My friend has a nismo engine that was low compression and swapped it with an r33 motor.

I am not talking about A N1 just nismo.

What is different in the NISMO engine over stock.. and what is the block casting number.. 05U aswell?

no idea what a "nismo" engine is, unless nismo actualy did the original build? The 3 types of block are standard, N1 and Group A (in order of strength/reinforcing).

There was a "nismo edition" 32 but there were very few made and I doubt there are any in Aus.....

ok so i found most the answers out myself.

The R32 Nismo was a special edition made, and sort of a lightweight edition.

Oh and all Nismo Cars had the chassis code BNR32-1XXXXX.

All nismo and only nismo cars had the 1 in front of the car serial number.

It can with standard engine 05U, Standard ceramic turbos, brakes etc... only thing different on these cars are:

missing carpet in trunk, no rear glass wiper, nismo speedo stock, shorter throw shifter, No A/C or stereo (even thou most people refitted them with both) and different carpet covers. Nismo spoiler lip, nismo hood lip. only made 560 R32 Nismos..

The N1's had the better 24U motor, 14411-06U00 turbos, etc.. etc..

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG , nissan made 3 types of rb26 engines ,,, there was the O5U (standard) ,,, 24U (nismo) ...rare... ,,, then there was the RRR (GT block)... ultra rare ...

... Vehicle Production Figures...

  • Standard Cars = 40,390
  • NISMO Group A Evolution = 560
  • V-Spec = 1,453
  • V-Spec II = 1,303
  • N1 Race Version = 228
  • Total = 43,930
  • GT = 200

There were not many replacment engines made less than 10% of production figures.

There are nismo R32 GTR's in australia i should know because i have one, and i know there are at least 5 otheres ...

A family friend of mine worked on the nissan skylines while they were racing in australia at ( BATHURST) they used standard GTR's as the NISMO or N1 were plan out write to expensive. there were 6 standard R32 GTR's orderd by gibbson motorsport. i know what parts and setups they used if interested send a message to my inbox. PLEASE PEOPLE DONT REPLY TO A POST IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMETHING AS PEOPLE DONT LIKE KNOW IT ALL'S.........

So just to clarify, a standard RB26 makes 206hp, the Nismo RB26 makes 600hp, Cause I would hate to be a know it all and think that every R32 GTR made 206kw

Really?

I thought the 24U = N1 Engine for the RB26... Not Nismo... Does your Nismo R32 GTR have O5U or 24U on the block?

I thought NISMO Group A Evolution = Base model R32 GTR's with a Nismo body kit from factory.

Nismo Body Kit = 2 Air ducts on the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler.

Bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay.

Boot lip spoiler to provide more downforce.

Rear Spats on the Side Skirts.

Nismo R32 GTR's should have a nice sticker on the boot lid and I would assume some sort of marking to say it is a "Genuine" Nismo R32 GTR.

Only available in Gunmetal Grey and 560 units were made on, which started on the 22nd Feb 1990.

As the OP is not all that clear on the engine info... This might help.

For all who doing know, Nismo made a Fine Spec Engine:

Could that be what mwracing be talking about..?

It is the base model R32 GTR but with a 'Nismo Body Kit'.

560 units were made.

It would weight the same if not a tad more then a base model R32 GTR due to the extra add on bits from the body kit, but nothing huge.

missing carpet in trunk, no rear glass wiper, nismo speedo stock, shorter throw shifter, No A/C or stereo (even thou most people refitted them with both) and different carpet covers. Nismo spoiler lip, nismo hood lip. Edit

The N1's had the better 24U motor, 14411-06U00 turbos, etc.. etc..

This is N1 and only 288 units where made from 19 July 1991.

Nismo and N1 are 2 different cars judging mostly from the engine specs and the N1 should have Brembo Calipers.

The Nismo Body Kit can easily be added on after purchase of the N1, I have a Nismo Body Kit as well and mine is just a base model as the previous owner would have added it on.

Umm, i think you'll find that the 24U is an N1 engine not a "NISMO" engine.

maybe you should chill a bit before telling people to get their facts right?

There were 2 variants of the N1 -

the first was the 91/92 model N1 which was based on the standard car, brembo's hadn't made their way to any GTR's at this stage so like mine, earlier N1's came without Brembo's. Also re bodykits the few genuine early N1's I've seen came with front hood spoiler, rear trunk spolier and sideskirts but none had the splats in front of the rear wheels that are part of NISMO kits i think.

The later N1's, 93/94 where based on V-specs so these cars did get the Brembo's.

The 91/92 N1's have ZN as part of the chassis code and the later model had Z something can't remember if its Y or X.

Good you clarified that!

I remember you starting a thread about your R32 GTR being an N1, but I could not see the Brembo's due to the limited amount of photo's that was posted.

I was still speculating if it was a N1 or not.

Well you answered my question.

Thanks.

BTW did yours come with an Oil Cooler, like the R33 GTR N1's?

Nope, unfortunately not.

Was considering grabbing one from Nissan, but the AUD price before shipping was ridiculous. Somehwere around the $2.5k to $3k.

The hardest thing with these cars is that there's very limited "official" nissan info out there, in either Japanese or English. But if you dig hard enough you get some truth. For example i know have official Nissan docs which state the details of how the car left the factory eg there was no ABS.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      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
