Rb26 Block With "r" Engine Number

I've worked in the compliance industry for a number of years and came across a motor which had a very usual marking on the engine block when I was attempting to get the engine number. It was in a 1994 R32 GTR Vspec with the an engine number that was something along the lines of the following

R B 2 6

R

7 * * * * * X

(The R should sit directly above the X marking)

I believe the X denotes that the block was sold seperately from nissan. That when a engine block is bought from nissan it will have this marked on it and the block requires it to be restamped. What I don't get is what the R marking above the X stands for. The stampings all look factory, but I could be mistaken. Does anyone know what this R marking could stand for? Does it mean that it is an N1 motor?

I also pulled the front cam cover off and all the bolts where brand new, as if it had come like that from factory. I'm quite baffled to know what it could be..

The number on the block that has .........X and then a R above is definatly a R34 Nur engine, these engine's are build by Nissan Motorsport and have the following specs in stead of the STD Rb26:

- R34 NUR cams little different then STD R34

- N1 block (24U)

- N1 piston rings

- piston + conrods weight balanced

- crankshaft weight balanced

- Nismo F112 bearings main + conrod

- N1 oil pump

- N1 waterpump

As you state all the bolts, nuts, the complete bare engine is new from Nissan Motorsport.

Here are some pics of a few I have/had:

Yup.. the engine number on the side of the block was exactly as the same as the one on the picture as above. The only thing I though is that it did not have variable valve timing such as found in the R34 GTR motors. Does that mean that it is not a R34 NUR motor then?

VCT is what I meant to say. Where exactly would the 24U be stamped on the block? Because I'm pretty sure there was a 05U cast into the underside of the block.

No they don't have VCT either. Where do people hear these crazy things?

On the passengers side in line with the collant outlet , close to number 3 cylinder, not easy to see under the turbos, you have to look up from under the car.

G'day,

Can anyone please send me pics of the RRR block engine stamp. I believe the numbers and letters are actually raised not stamped as such, any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

If you read my post above you will note that the Nismo GT block had RRR in caps ( just like the normal 5uand 24U blocks) on the turbo side close to number 3 cyl inline with the coolant pipe.

The engine number is in the normal place on the inlet side near the dipstick, RRR blocks have RB26 NS Axxx, just a 3 digit number from 001 to 200 , only 200 blocks made.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.

      Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?

      Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.

      R33 headlight relay conversion?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
