A R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur is powered by the Nissan N1 RB26DETT

Identified by the number 24U marked on the block, where as the standard blocks are marked 05U.

Cylinder walls are thicker

Water cooling channels are enhanced to increase flow.

N1 Block

N1 Oil Pump

N1 Water Pump

N1 Pistons - 1.2 mm (0.047 in) top rings and were balanced before assembly but otherwise very close to standard.

N1 Turbochargers (Ball Bearing Steel internals)

Connecting rods are stronger and balanced.

Standard crankshaft is balanced to a higher level.

Cam Shafts are further balanced.

Higher flow exhaust manifolds.

I have my doubts that the 24U block really has thicker cylinder walls. From what i've seen they appear to be dimensionally identical to the 05U block.

They seem to have a similar cylinder wall thickness to the 05U block with an upper OD of the cylinder wall around 93-94mm near the top of the block. When boring to 92mm for sleeving, the 24U breaks through into the coolant galleries in a few places around the height of the large welsh plugs.

I recall reading somewhere that the casting metal used has a higher nickel content, making the material stronger. The porosity doesnt seem to be any better. I hope to have some pictures of a bored 24U block pre-sleeving inside a week or two, so I'll post them up when I get them.

Ta, If the water channels are bigger, it would stand to reason that strengthening of iron with nickel is a logical way to go; otherwise the walls would in fact be weaker. Thicker walls? I wasn't aware of that either - nor the nickel factor.

With the coolant gallery changes, it probably means just larger holes exist behind the top row of small welsh plugs. I haven't pulled the plugs on a 24U block to confirm this, but it makes sense as its the only area you can improve coolant flow into the block.

The top row of welsh plugs on the right side of the block is the main coolant gallery. Behind these small welsh plugs holes are drilled through the outer crank case, to the inner chamber in the block where the cylinders are. Coolant flows through the drilled holes and direct to the top area of the cylinders, where most of the heat is transferred to the block from combustion.

Because the coolant flows in around the cylinders and then up into the head through standardised size coolant galleries (which match all head gaskets), the holes on the top of the block are no different to an 05U block.

I think I should have said re-enforced block rather then thicker walls...

wow.... thanks for all the info guys...

:D

So is there a dramatic increase in power and response of an N1 engine over a standard 34 RB26? (factory tune)

I think the power output was not huge.

But due to the N1 Turbos it ran 1 Bar of boost, so power would be up a tad.

And being ball bearing turbos along with a further refined RB26, it all added up to better response.

not sure on factory tune, but after adding some straight forward mods I've gotten some amazing gains!

This!

i think the beauty of the N1 engine is more in its reliability factor cos the standard RB26 is already pretty impressive... thus u shd be able to push the nur more with its stock parts.. (stock parts being N1 items like steel bb turbos as compared to ceramic trust bearings ones :worship: ) so is that even a fair comparison? LOL :D

that said...vspecIInur .. are the ecu settings any different than the normal V spec II ?

The two 24U N1 Blocks in the current issue (#161) of PI Mag.

1) VS2 Nur

On high boost + N1 turbs + Motec M800 ECU + JUN Cams + Nismo Plenum + Bosch 044 + Sard 700cc + Sard Fuel Reg + Splitfire + Nismo Dumps + Nismo Ti Weldina Twin 90mm

On med boost > 323 wKw thanks to Unigroup Engineering where Yavuz needed to attend to lambda sensors and change tune

2) VS N1

On med boost + N1 turbs + PFC D-Jetro ECU + Nismo Plenum + Bosch 044 + Sard 700cc + Mine's Dumps + Mine's Front + Fujitsubo Ti 80mm

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
