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 $$...

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
