Hey guys,

I was wondering how you can tell if a head is an N1 or not? I have the oportunity to get my hands on a suppos'ed N1 head but before money changes hand I want to be sure it is actually one. Ive heard the the cam covers are gold from factory but they can be easily changed.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

I don't think there is such a thing as an N1 head. as far as I know all GTR heads are the same.

sure you can buy a complete N1 engine and I guess then you could say the head is an N1 head, but it's no different to any other RB26 head. so I wouldn't pay extra money for it over a regular 26 head. I think at the most N1 engines had different cams to regular 26s.

N1 cam covers are not gold from the factory, Brand new NUR engines come with NUR colour covers.

I fairly certain there is no such thing as an N1 head, just check the serial number and you will probably find its just another 05U head meaning you shouldn't be paying any more than normal for it.

there are differences between 32/33 GT-R heads and those on R34's

but no, there aren't any N1 specific head castings

what are those differences? I thought all the RB26 heads were the same.

R34 head is different to R32/33. THe cams from an R34 wont fit an early head and vice versa.

pretty sure the head is the same. 34 cams will fit into a 33 or 32 head, i've seen it. they have different cams but as far as I've been able to tell that's only because they have different cam angle sensors not different heads.

Yep. Different cams and the 34's use a different CAS but the cams physically fit in all rb26 heads. I think the heads are all the same.

As far as I know all RB26 head castings are the same. They have different internals in the the 3 different models .

Nick cylinder heads don't have serial numbers mate, only blocks do.

Strange, I looked at my brand new head when it was delivered and notice the 05U - Perhaps I was mistaken and actually saw it on the box.

Heads definitely have "05U" cast into the side of the head, but they don't have serial numbers like a block does.

And the baron is correct regarding the differences in all 3 model heads - cams wil fit, but different CAS and location of CAS on exhaust cam. Also, wiring of CAS differs so need to change two around to make work with r32/33 ecu.

You will find that lots of engine parts have 05U but only the block has a serial number as required by law here and in many other countries. some car makers now have serial numbers in other mechanical parts as well.

depends what you mean by "great nick" head reco including new stem seals, valve guides, adjust shims, shave head face is 500-1000 so add that to the going price for an average head.

Jerry would be interested if you know any differences apart from the exhaust cam/CAS key.

    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
