Should have "24U" stamped on the exhaust side of the block near the front turbo. You will have to get under the car with a torch probably

Normal RB26 will just be "05U" from memory.

Take down the Chassie number and build plate and post in the VINS You Wanted Fast thread and a member will decode it for you.

Probley the safest way.

Hey Mate,

Been through this in the last couple of weeks myself.

My car is an 92 R32 N1 GTR, confirmed through Nissan Fast and i have log books for the car up to present. I have had the car inspected and there is no evidence what so ever that it has had an engine swap. BUT it does not have 24U stamped on the block.

Unfortunately i wasn't able to find anything definite that say 100% ALL N1's were stamped with 24U

I did however remember reading something that stated later model N1's were only stamped with 24U and being a 92 model R32 in my case it was the first "N1" release. The reverse is that everyone i spoke to, had no doubt that all later model N1's were stamped with 24U so if it's an R33 or R34 it should definitely have it.

If you find anything "official" from Nissan, let me know. Very interested.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
