Nismo N1 Block

[ronin6]

Does anyone know of the differences between this block and a standard RB26 block? How about where would I be able to see or buy one?

Thanks

[ylwgtr2]

the only diffrences in Group A blocks (O5U)and standard older type RB26 blocks are one water jacket is enlongated....this can be done to the older block all R34 blocks have this O5U type block

*edit*Actually...it may be O9U.....i have to check my RB26 history book....its out on loan at the moment....

[ronin6]

thanks for the info, so thats all that is the difference then? How about construction, or materials used?

Yeah they make the N1 block out of plasticene and then oven bake at 140 degrees for 25 mins for strenght, and durability.

[ronin6]

Awesome, should be a great starting point for my build:)

The information you've been given so far is incorrect.

There are 3 different blocks: cast into the side of the block are the letters

05U or 24U

The std. blocks tend to crack bores when you exceed 550 to 600HP.

The STANDARD BLOCK 05U is a thin wall casting, due to the larger water jackets around the bores. (comes third for desirability)

The N1 and all R34 v-spec 24U is a thick wall casting and has the smaller water jackets around the bores. (comes second for desirability)

The GROUP 'A' BLOCK 05U but is a thick wall casting and has the smaller water jackets around the bores. (comes first for desirability, but rare)

Look for a block with the smaller water jackets, near the treaded holes for the head bolts.

You can buy the N1 block from NISSAN at around $3400.

p.s. You can also get fully sleeved blocks.....but thats another story.

I'd be expecting another cooking tip from you....but your probably on the wrong forum ... or maybe cooking for the queer guy.

Take a joke...I'm sure you can.

ahh yes 24U thats right.....so whats the diffrence between the 24U block and the O5U group A block then?

[ronin6]

I rang a few nissan dealers and none of them ever heard of a N1 block, huh figures. Guess I gotta keep searching.

Thanks for the info GTR STi

[hungry6]

Damn i have to advise ppls to bake the other 2 blocks for longer time.

[GTR STI]

Ahh....so you weren't just being a pain.

You do have a sense of humor.

I don't have a lot of information about the GROUP A block....I'd only be guessing.

There are only a handful of NISSAN dealers that import from the NISMO cat.

Just some info from http://www.pow.com.au/gtr_engine_specs.htm

This is an ex-Bathurst Group A heavy wall block.

When GT-R engines make big horsepower (600hp+), they have been known to split the standard block. You may be wondering why the inside of the block is white in color ?

It has been sealed with an epoxy coating so that the oil drains back fast and bits of cast iron cannot break from the inside of the motor and go into the oil system. The welsh plugs holes have been tapped, the original welsh plugs removed and replaced with screw in machined aluminium ones to prevent them from ever popping out when under pressure.

This block is a very very rare item. These heavy wall blocks are not available anymore and are irreplaceable!

You've opened 3 threads today asking the same question, stop spamming as you have already had your questions answered a number of times.

Man some ones going to buy the wrong block.

05U standard block

24U N1 block can be brought for $2500 from sau traders and dont think all R34 vspecs came with one.

RRR GT block best you can buy if you can find one dont go looking for change from $5000.
