R32 Nismo Engine

[(OO)SKYLINE(OO)]

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.

WTF!

That is a lot for an oil cooler!

You could get 1 from Nengun, a Greddy Oil Cooler from $800 to $1000 (Approx) new that is.

Yeah I remember the N1's not having the ABS to save weight

Good you have the info and would be interesting to read up on it Wouldn't mind having a read myself...

Back to the N1, I took a look at my Turbo Chart and I believed the R32 GTR N1's came with "Nismo Turbo's" not N1 Turbo's like the R33 and R34 GTR did.

33N1 (14411-24U10)

34N1 (14411-AA401)

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 ...

/snip/

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.........

no need to be wrong as well as rude.

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?

Bobby's on the money. Nismo GTRs ran a standard motor (05U) and certainly not a "nismo" motor. In fact other than the big turbos and being in "limited edition" gunmetal grey they were pretty much standard.

But I will sort of agree with you on the Gibson Grp A cars. I don't know, but I would be willing to bet they were built off bare shells from japan. Certainly they did not run N1 (24U) blocks because they weren't produced until after group A was dead (92). Because I don't know for sure I won't say you are wrong about them buying 6 complete cars from japan.....but I would be very surprised if they bought anything but body shells and parts - there are very fe factory parts in the gibson cars.

You can be sure they they didn't avoid "nismo" or "n1" cars because of cost. Cost was no object to winning for nissan in the late 80s, early 90s.
