Nismo S-tune S1 engine is a nismo engine , yes its something special, its better than your stock nissan one. nismo made S-tunes for each model. You will notice the middle one is the nismo 400r which possibly utilized a Tuned version of the S-tune engine :) can anyone confirm?

I've seen some GTRs with S1 engines, according to Nismo they have around 400ps which is not all that significant compared to what one can do to increase power. Are they overrated or something special?

I see you're comparing the S1 engine to something alot more 'unstreetable'... are you asking because of the low bang for buck value it seems to have on paper?

The S1 engine are for increased power and torque across the rev range, giving a useable boost in those areas with less stress on the engine. It's a 'street performance upgrade' for GT-Rs (and others) and outright power is not the main focus. Think of it as a higher power RB engine from the Nissan factory, with all the reliability that goes along with it.

Thats not a 400R.

The 400R has a REINIK 2.8 litre engine called RB-X GT2 (N1 block with forged internals etc etc) 400bhp 478nm lazy

S1 is a rebuilt engine with N1 parts has 400bhp 450nm by nismo

R1 is a N1 block with N1 parts has 450bhp 480nm by nismo

F-Sport is a 2.8L engine with GT block and mostly Gt parts like the Z-tune not sure of the power

hope that helps

ps saw a N1 block (new) on Japanese yahoo for A$1400 GT block was A$4500 new on yahoo nice start

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.

      R34 GTT AC short cycling ? Normal behaviour?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
