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.........

The difference between power of the standard rb26... 206 bhp nismo 600 bhp

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

Holy thread revival!

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?

Hah!

Where did that power figure come from?

:P

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.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
