My mate is ditching his RB30DETT for a HKS 2.8L and asked me to find a part number for him :(

Edit: CruiseLiner.. where did you get the block from and how long ago? he's just told me Nissan is sold out and don't make them anymore?0_o

got mine about 4 months ago and it was the last one in stock in Oz from memory but the nissan guy said they could supposedly get more (that was his opinion, but everyone else said they are not available anymore).

mine was from Northside Nissan in Perth. Ring them and talk to steve barnes he will be able to get u the right info :(

not cheap but good insurance when going for over 600hp+

Yep, I was looking for an N1 block for a few months. None left in Australia anywhere, theyre on back order in Japan and manufacturing of them still hasnt restarted (and probably never will) so youre going to be extremely hard pressed to find one.

I ended up re-using my standard (I prefer the word 'seasoned') R32 block and the engine builder got Darton to make some custom sleeves for it to add strength to the bore.

Its being used with a JUN 2.7L stroker and will be holding quite a large amount of power.

"...and probably never will...".

I've heard this a couple of time now. Does anyone have a reason or a source for this. It doesnt make any sense to me, plus its kinda scary as my rebuild wil be either a Jun 2.7 or step 1 HKS 2.8 stroker. :happy:

After talking with a few people inside Nissan Australia, they got word from Nissan Japan that manufacturing would resume towards the end of 2006.

Its now getting well into 2007 and it still hasnt started, and theres now no confirmation coming out of Japan that manufacturing will indeed restart.

Even if it does, the list of pre-orders is well into the thousands so you would be in for a long wait if it does come back into production.

So being realistic... I dont think you will ever be able to purchase a new one again :happy:

      I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.

      Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.

      Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.

      It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
