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 $$...

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
