Can someone here help me find out whats makes a r32 NISMO engine better then a r32 stock engine?

My friend has a nismo engine that was low compression and swapped it with an r33 motor.

I am not talking about A N1 just nismo.

What is different in the NISMO engine over stock.. and what is the block casting number.. 05U aswell?

no idea what a "nismo" engine is, unless nismo actualy did the original build? The 3 types of block are standard, N1 and Group A (in order of strength/reinforcing).

There was a "nismo edition" 32 but there were very few made and I doubt there are any in Aus.....

there are a few Nismo's in Aus, they made 500 for Group-A homoligation. But as far as i've read it a great unknown whats in them, they have a bigger turbos, but after that non of the info is consistant.

ok so i found most the answers out myself.

The R32 Nismo was a special edition made, and sort of a lightweight edition.

Oh and all Nismo Cars had the chassis code BNR32-1XXXXX.

All nismo and only nismo cars had the 1 in front of the car serial number.

It can with standard engine 05U, Standard ceramic turbos, brakes etc... only thing different on these cars are:

missing carpet in trunk, no rear glass wiper, nismo speedo stock, shorter throw shifter, No A/C or stereo (even thou most people refitted them with both) and different carpet covers. Nismo spoiler lip, nismo hood lip. only made 560 R32 Nismos..

The N1's had the better 24U motor, 14411-06U00 turbos, etc.. etc..

WRONG, WRONG, WRONG , nissan made 3 types of rb26 engines ,,, there was the O5U (standard) ,,, 24U (nismo) ...rare... ,,, then there was the RRR (GT block)... ultra rare ...

... Vehicle Production Figures...

  • Standard Cars = 40,390
  • NISMO Group A Evolution = 560
  • V-Spec = 1,453
  • V-Spec II = 1,303
  • N1 Race Version = 228
  • Total = 43,930
  • GT = 200

There were not many replacment engines made less than 10% of production figures.

There are nismo R32 GTR's in australia i should know because i have one, and i know there are at least 5 otheres ...

A family friend of mine worked on the nissan skylines while they were racing in australia at ( BATHURST) they used standard GTR's as the NISMO or N1 were plan out write to expensive. there were 6 standard R32 GTR's orderd by gibbson motorsport. i know what parts and setups they used if interested send a message to my inbox. PLEASE PEOPLE DONT REPLY TO A POST IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW SOMETHING AS PEOPLE DONT LIKE KNOW IT ALL'S.........

So just to clarify, a standard RB26 makes 206hp, the Nismo RB26 makes 600hp, Cause I would hate to be a know it all and think that every R32 GTR made 206kw

Really?

I thought the 24U = N1 Engine for the RB26... Not Nismo... Does your Nismo R32 GTR have O5U or 24U on the block?

I thought NISMO Group A Evolution = Base model R32 GTR's with a Nismo body kit from factory.

Nismo Body Kit = 2 Air ducts on the front bumper to improve airflow to the intercooler.

Bonnet lip spoiler to direct more air into the engine bay.

Boot lip spoiler to provide more downforce.

Rear Spats on the Side Skirts.

Nismo R32 GTR's should have a nice sticker on the boot lid and I would assume some sort of marking to say it is a "Genuine" Nismo R32 GTR.

Only available in Gunmetal Grey and 560 units were made on, which started on the 22nd Feb 1990.

As the OP is not all that clear on the engine info... This might help.

For all who doing know, Nismo made a Fine Spec Engine:

Could that be what mwracing be talking about..?

It is the base model R32 GTR but with a 'Nismo Body Kit'.

560 units were made.

It would weight the same if not a tad more then a base model R32 GTR due to the extra add on bits from the body kit, but nothing huge.

missing carpet in trunk, no rear glass wiper, nismo speedo stock, shorter throw shifter, No A/C or stereo (even thou most people refitted them with both) and different carpet covers. Nismo spoiler lip, nismo hood lip. Edit

The N1's had the better 24U motor, 14411-06U00 turbos, etc.. etc..

This is N1 and only 288 units where made from 19 July 1991.

Nismo and N1 are 2 different cars judging mostly from the engine specs and the N1 should have Brembo Calipers.

The Nismo Body Kit can easily be added on after purchase of the N1, I have a Nismo Body Kit as well and mine is just a base model as the previous owner would have added it on.

Umm, i think you'll find that the 24U is an N1 engine not a "NISMO" engine.

maybe you should chill a bit before telling people to get their facts right?

There were 2 variants of the N1 -

the first was the 91/92 model N1 which was based on the standard car, brembo's hadn't made their way to any GTR's at this stage so like mine, earlier N1's came without Brembo's. Also re bodykits the few genuine early N1's I've seen came with front hood spoiler, rear trunk spolier and sideskirts but none had the splats in front of the rear wheels that are part of NISMO kits i think.

The later N1's, 93/94 where based on V-specs so these cars did get the Brembo's.

The 91/92 N1's have ZN as part of the chassis code and the later model had Z something can't remember if its Y or X.

Good you clarified that!

I remember you starting a thread about your R32 GTR being an N1, but I could not see the Brembo's due to the limited amount of photo's that was posted.

I was still speculating if it was a N1 or not.

Well you answered my question.

Thanks.

BTW did yours come with an Oil Cooler, like the R33 GTR N1's?

Nope, unfortunately not.

Was considering grabbing one from Nissan, but the AUD price before shipping was ridiculous. Somehwere around the $2.5k to $3k.

The hardest thing with these cars is that there's very limited "official" nissan info out there, in either Japanese or English. But if you dig hard enough you get some truth. For example i know have official Nissan docs which state the details of how the car left the factory eg there was no ABS.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.
