hey guys, I need some help, with obtaining measurements of an rb26 N1 block.

any help will be very appreciated, please specify what points you are measuring from, and if possible please include pictures of every possible angle of the block (front, back, top, bottom.etc).

thanks guys

common guys, we need measurements from the following points:

center of crankshaft to top of block

top to bottom of block (front), back to front (top and side) longest points

need lengths of spacing in the cradle (edge to edge-please specify where you measured) need width of cradle journals.

please, any help will be appreciated

I think its a case of no one just having N1 blocks sitting around. :)

Best bet is to just buy one if you need to do anything specific with one

just a bit to expensive for us at the moment mate, could someone just measure up a standard one from the specified points please?

I also would...but I only have the RB26DETT...not N1.

sorry.

would you be able to grab some of the standard block please mate? It seems no one has an N1 block at the moment.

If anyone has an rb26 block for sale near brisbane we will buy one to get measurements.

thanks for the reply's guys.

cheers

On that note, I am guessing a RB26 N1 Block is the size as the Normal RB16 block as it is the same engine, just made from stronger material.

N1 blocks are cast from the same parent material as 05U blocks. The difference is thicker cylinder walls and deck thickness to prevent bores splitting and cracking around the head studs which 05U blocks are prone to.

Thanks for clearing that up! :down:

But size wise it is still the same..?

Sure, can measure it tomorrow if you want. from which points? just length and width of the block itself?

I have a RRR block sitting on my stand waiting for my car to arrive. I can measure that on the weekend if you like.

Let me know ...

yeah thanks mate, that would be well appreciated,

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
