hi guys i got a rb26 with a n1 block thats is getting full rebuilt with internals

cp pistons rods cams blah blah and so on. i have heard that the n1 block is lighter but weaker does any1 have any input as car will be tuned around 400-450 rwhp in my cefiro and used for street/drift use

does any1 no how much power the n1 block can handle as i dont want to go all out with my rebuild to have the block crack???? any comments would be great thanks

200000km old stocker is gonna be stronger than a new n1 block.

a 200000km old n1 block would be very strong

it comes down to weathering of the block/metal.

it worked for the 1400hp 1.5litre bmw f1 turbo engines :domokun:

if you can find a virgin bore old 32 block its gonna be plenty strong.

give advan performance a call. hes done some research on the issue i believe

or id just like to get my hands on a group A block :)

Apparantly 2-5 unused blocks have found their way on to the market in Sydney in the past few weeks with a going price of $7000ish. Just what I have heard from a couple of people though, unsure how true it is if you actually went to buy one.

for 7000 i would be looking into a custom made block, place in adelaide is looking into (or made) billit SR blocks and billit SR inlet manifolds, blocks were going to be around 5000 i think.

How much stronger would something like that be?

I am no expert but would be greatly stronger as you can add material where you like, run no water galleries if its a drag car, more studs in bottom end caps/girdle. Tie in the end caps fromt he side of the block as well. As its custom you dont work around things that the factory had to like cost etc. I have seen a 1UZ (i think was in zoom) custom billit block as they were splitting the stock blocks.

Also off the top of my head there was a custom 4 cylinder motor made for a drag can in the USA, custom billit block running nitro, It was new set up as he was using motec and going to run in some sports compact class (cant rember details hopefully someone can post a link to the video) something like 2000 hp is i remember correctly.

that is a link to the 1UZ block but im not a member of lextreme to view...

that link for for the nitro 4 cylinder, 4000 hp, it says the block of alloy is over 1000 dollars by its self, im not sure how much machining would be if it would be under 7000. They have no coolant or oil drain back so for anything other then drag for a few seconds its no good.

I was just saying for 7000 for a block it opens up a few more options.

but does it chirp 2nd?

haha, thats pretty impressive reading.

Just Jap have a Group A block for sale. I'm pretty sure you won't find a brand new n1 block in Australia.

But who breaks a standard block unless you are making 11tybillion kw or bored it out over 87mm?

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
