G'day,

I'm looking to buy a new rb26 package like an N1 motor or nismo motor. I want to get it straight from the Jap factory with the upgraded oil pump/sump. Alternatively if the price becomes an issue I will look at buying a stock rb26 from Nissan.

Has anyone done any of these options before, if so can you let me know of your experiences. I want to get a brand new motor asap,

Thanks for any feedback, KG

I can only think of 2 reasons to use an n1 motor.

1/ You are building a hge engine and want to start with the absolute best

2/ You have to run a standard motor due to race regs so this is the best you can build

theres a bloke here in canberra - greg tarlington Pro Engines. he's got an awesome reputation around canberra thanks to his strong builds. word has it he's going to be doing OS-style spacer plate 3litre rb26 stroker kits. forged/balanced everything etc etc. i'm not entirely sure what money he'd command for a combination like this, but he'd be a good place to start with your 12.5k methinks!

Wonder if that new N1 engine comes with turbos?

Surely you dont expect turbos , plenum and all the bolt ons for $12.5 k Andrew .

You just get the long engine with waterpump as you see in the pic but dont forget its all brand new !

Yes a rebuilt engine can be almost as good as new but most times its not , it depends on who does the machining and who puts it together .

There is no way you can built a 100 hp engine for $ 12.5 , you just cant buy the parts for that ,never nind put it together as well ..

No i didn't, but im suprised even the long motor is that cheap new :(

What about the gearbox in these things? If we're talking about a motor that can go to 650-700HP your already pushing the gearbox a little beyond what it can handle, meaning your gonna need to get a holinger. Why not go up-spec factory?

R34 Getrag's handle 700hp no worries (provided you don't hammer them on gearchanges and do massive launches all the time). However the conversion to a Getrag for an R32 or R33 will set you back around $20,000. (including a custom made Nismo tailshaft which can take 6 months to make)

For a GTR 5 Speed, PAR can do a strengthened gearset for $6100 ready to bolt in. 1 ~ 3 straight cut, 4th, 5th helical cut. Dual synchro's in 3rd and 4th (like the late R33 GTR boxes). The boxes are still easily driveable although you will hear gearbox whine from straight cut gears.

That'd be your best option IMHO to strengthen up your gearbox for big power.

Don't stress, My brand new R33 GTR gearbox from nissan whines!!!

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
