You know what get the hell outta my party....i know 30 block is bigger, i know 26 head is far way better. But i already have no way back now...ok? I spent good amount of money and if isnt of no use i'll buy another 26head and we got another engine...yeah it will be a brand new engine because the 26block has a very very wide variety of highly engineered parts down there from the biggest aftermarket engineering companies in the world that the 30 doesnt. Thats the whole main reason smart guy. Starting from tomie crankshafts to uprated pistons, their rings and everything...then my head will have tomie or hks camshafts and a whole new set of sensors from nissan to make the calculations just accurate...oh i also bought carbon fiber rocker cover and i dont wanna give that away...and a big turbo with the manifold, downpipe etc...so yeah i am a twat and next time do your retarded research right because bikes have reltively smaller engines and they are sooo many times faster than cars can ever be!

Not meaning to offend here..

But they were meaning the N1 block isn't worth buying over a normal rb26 block if applying your head..Or the 26 bottom being of any advantage. The cost far outweighs any gain ( there won't be ) over a 25 or 30 bottom end, which you can still put all your HIGH quality brand crank, pistons etc into.. Seems you are also money conscious, so forget about the N1 block, and spend the money elsewhere.. The block itself will not make the motor any better in your case.

Also standard rb30 crankshafts have produced over 1000hp, therefore not requiring aftermarket crankshafts, also the only reason someone would buy a tomei crank is if it were a stroker, which the rb30 does with it's capacity.... I'm not even going to list the aftermarket support for the whole RB series of engines, but there are plenty of big brand companies producing quality products = and superior to the Japanese product which will work with the 3l

The 3L block has its flaws. Yes they are ok to make HP but the 26 still does it better. If he has a Tomei stroker going in then he is better off with the N1 block anyway because it's ability to be further machined and still retaining strength. Then theres also the fact the Tomei crank will spin up faster due to its reduced weight, better counterweighted for the aftermarket rotating assembly and able to rev much higher without risk of crank flex or movement. When everyone else is changing gears at 8k, he will be flipping the bird while he hangs on at 10k :thumbsup:

I would say let the guy do as he pleases, he's not doing anything wrong.

Thats true, but he won't be changing at 10k with hydro lifters. So a block that bolts up would seem a better option or a head that suits the chosen block over extra machine work to achieve the same thing... If he had a built head already be different story, but seems as though he is only into early stages of build..

Either way, yes it can be done at a cost, whether that cost is a smart or most efficient decision..

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
