A cryo'd std block will do fine...much cheaper too

Nismo don't seem to think so. Back in the day before 24U blocks, NISMO couldn't get 05U blocks to last at more than 450PS for endurance use.

Also, when 24U blocks were available, there was only about 10,000JPY between an 05U and a 24U.

Did Nismo cryo and de-burr their blocks??

Mark Jacobsen, Theo Wollett, Croydon's and Myself seem to have had great service from 05U blocks.

Extensive abuse has proven my theory in "real world"....i think you should go back to your books boy!

NISMO did 'prepare' their blocks, not too sure what that meant, but I'd imagine it would be heat tempering them rather than freezing them. I'm not convinced that cryo treating a block would stop it cracking.

As for deburing...not sure whether they did or not, but my block was deburred from factory. But in any case, Rb26 blocks usually crack between 3 and 4 on the water jacket...good luck deburring it in there.

Notice I said endurance use...not a 10-15 second squirt. A top fuel engine pulls 6000bhp, but lets see what happens if you try to run it for more than 20 seconds.

And NISMO did real world testing...and I bet they have built (and broken) more RB26's over the past 17 years than any other organisation on earth.

Who "endurance races" their Skyline anyway?? The track days you would be lucky to get 5 "hot" laps in...and the State champs guy's would be lucky to see a dozen. Like i said this is the real world we are discussing not something you have read.

Suppose we better wait and see what sort of monster acxacx is building before making judgement on what he really "needs"....I see Buster has a suitable block up for grabs for good $$...

      Cold Start Rattling Sound

      By silviaz · Posted

      So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4

      Yeah I’ll know when I take it for a test drive and I’ll double check the turbos as well when I have a look at it again.  Just thought maybe they might have done something in the head cause it looks like they’ve taken off the rocker covers 🤔 Thanks for your info!

      As Duncan mentioned it's likely a remapped ECU, like the the one listed in the link I post earlier:  https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/444260/car/444612/2099320/parts.aspx He quoted 444PS with an unopened engine and twin GT2510s @ 1.1bar boost... sounds about right?
