I got an 1990 r32 gtr, was wandering if it was possible to know what engine my car was from..side of the block says 24U..so i assume its an N1 motor.r32?r33?.r34?

..and one thing that has me stumped is looking at the engine number ,in between RB26 and serial number there is a little R stamped. Everyone i spoke to has never seen it or heard of it... looks like this :

RB26

--------------R

060643A

without the slashes..

I also took the rocker cover off and noticed that the head bolt has a little dot on the rim of the hexbolt..all the ones ive seen are smooth.

thanks guys.

dude! that would have to be one of the bluriest pictures I've ever looked at!

I'm pretty sure the R is on all N1 blocks. the GT blocks have RRR. Though someone with more block knowledge that me can confirm it.

sorry about the photo, camera was really crap and too close to focus. il get some better photos up.

Ive looked at 5 n1 blocks, but they dont have a serial number on block. Was told if you order a block new from nissan,it has no serial number and the ones i looked at has no "R". So i assume its a factory N1 engine but out of what??32,33,34?

Is there a way to tell with the serial number?

thanks.

have you nissfast the number it may give a little more insight?

i didnt know you could check engine numers with fast..hmm..i could post the vin ad model number but im pretty sure the motor is not the original. This car is a bit funny, had a factory exhaust on ( brand new). high pressure intercooler hose clamps, huge alloy radiator with built in oil cooler,front subframe is all drilled out ,high boost setting on the hks evc was at 1.5bar?!? and when the car arrived from japan the clutch was completely destroyed..nismo twin plate. So it just raises suspicions to what it had in japan or what the capabilities of this motor is.

somebody must of seen this " R" before..no one in nz has... = ( , and not one reply from the gtroc forum. Its one of those things that annoy you until you can find the answer...= ).

SOUNDS PRETTY COOL. but its just a block. if your not making over 700hp it really doesnt matte.

being 06...... engine number id say its a 33. a early one.

Finally were getting somewhere..thank you! So an r33 motor.. Spoke to someone today and he told me hes only ever seen that head bolt on r34 motors...so hmm..

I got a street r32 that i ve done evrything to , except motor wise, so was thinking if this motor was up to spec, might swap it over..

700 hp at crank is the goal running 2530's. more than enough for me for the street. Trying to save money where i can for my drag car.should run this season. That car runs twin 3540's ,motec 800,adl pretty much everything under the sun. 1200hp and mid to low 8 is the goal..should post some pictures..not blurry ones..haha. = )

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
