Verify N1 Engine.

[glaze]

Hi Guys,

I am looking to get a R32 GTR that has had a ground up rebuild in Japan with an R33 N1 Engine and R34 N1 Turbos and Im just wanting to verify the engine number.

Does anyone know what how I can verify an N1 engine by the engine number, I will be getting the engine number some time tomorrow.

Thanks

Yeah. Find out what it says on the block. (block = bottem end)

O5U = Standard Nissan RB26

24U = Nissan N1

More important then block numbers is what oil return mods were done in the rebuild.

any rebuilt 26 should have oil mods.

Cheers,

This was a brand new R33 N1 engine put into the car by the Japanese owner who worked for Nissan. Engine is 28,000kms old.

I will get engine number and verify its a genuine N1 engine.

Thanks again.

I have little doubt its an N1 if the owner said so.

But as I said, oil return is a bigger issue in a rebuilt 26 then what block is used. 1000 HP can be cracked on a standard block, if it has proper oil mods.

Obv thats why I am wanting to verify its an N1 by engine number.

Specifcally what do you mean by Oil mods? Oil Catch Can??

Cheers

I just received an email from the owner with a pic of the the 24U on the block, so thanks for the help Mandingo.

N1 motors really are not worth the money/value the price tag attracts as they still have all the major flaws.
