For those that remember, my RB26 rebuild is done.

Now I just have to drop it in. It's taken 10 months for various reasons, one of those being cash.

Anyway, off the top of my head, here's the build:

Nismo N1 block, brand new from Japan, bored to 88mm

Wiseco Forged Pistons, 88mm

Standard crank

Standard rods shotpeened and balanced

race valves and springs (can't remember brand)

1.6mm 3 layer Metal Head Gasket (once again, can't remember the brand but same as used in NASCAR)

Black metal bearings, meant to be 10 to 20% stronger (again, the brand escapes me but Larry perkins uses them)

Head ported and ground

Cams still stock but will be replaced soon, as for the turbo's

WOLF 3D VER. 4 ECU

Labour has been free except for the porting and boring, yet it has still set me back around $12,000 so far.

Hopefully we'll drop it in this weekend.

Oh, by the way, brand new Exceedy 3-puck race clutch as well.

Also, as I used a stand alone head gasket, I have a standard head gasket for sale which came with the full RB26 gasket kit.

hey is the N1 block heaps better than the normal rb26 block? im talking about the block it self and not the oil/water pumps etc

Loads better. Even after the rebore its got heaps more meat than a standard block. Plus it has more finning on the block itself. I didn't get a full N1, just the bare block. I have reused my own oil/water pumps, etc.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
