Hi Guys,

I recently purchased 2 brand new R34 RB26 N1 Nur motors. These are the top of the line factory built RB26s you can buy and were fitted to the R34 N1 Nur editions. Both the engines I had dissambled from brand new at Prime Garage in japan and rebuilt with some even more upgraded parts. So I have the following bits for sale. They are all brand new and were removed from the crate motors without either motor ever doing a single revolution.

I have:

2 X full sets of RB26 N1 valve springs, these are a good idea if you are installing cams into your R32 or R33 RB26. nothing worse than old valve springs. a mechanic here in sydney recently tested these N1 springs against a set of tomei type A springs and tells me they are virtually identical. Price is $290 per set of 24. $10 postage for most of Aus. bargain valve spring upgrade.

2 X Brand new genuine Nissan timing belts. again, never been used, and genuine is always a good choice if you are doing a big service or cam upgrade on your RB26. The timing belt I understand also fits RB20 and RB25. Price = $100 each. $5 postage for most of Aus.

2 X sets of N1 cams. These are known as a great mild cam upgrade for use with turbos like N1s, garrett -5s and -7s and HKS GTSS or 2530. They have higher lift and longer duration than regular RB26 cams. Being genuine they are also better quality than some of the cheaper aftermarket options. These are direct bolt in to R34 RB26 but please check with your mechanic about fitting them to R32 and R33 RB26 (they may fit, or you may require the use of an R34 CAS). Price is $400 a pair postage I estimate at $25 for most of aus. Bargain cam upgrade! Many cluey workshops have been using N1 cams with good success for years now.

That's it for the moment. Pics to follow tomorrow or saturday.

Hey Richie,

2 X sets of N1 cams. These are known as a great mild cam upgrade for use with turbos like N1s, garrett -5s and -7s and HKS GTSS or 2530. They have higher lift and longer duration than regular RB26 cams. Being genuine they are also better quality than some of the cheaper aftermarket options. These are direct bolt in to R34 RB26 but please check with your mechanic about fitting them to R32 and R33 RB26 (they may fit, or you may require the use of an R34 CAS). Price is $400 a pair postage I estimate at $25 for most of aus. Bargain cam upgrade! Many cluey workshops have been using N1 cams with good success for years now.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the 34N1 (Nur) cams are same lift, duration. L.C. as standard R34.

The R32/33 N1's had the exhaust L.C. retarded 5 degs but the lobes were the same.

However, they are still one of the best cam choices for RB26.

cheers.

thanks benno. :) I have never measured them, just going by what I was told in japan, and by a few workshops here. if they are the same it's weird as there is one workshop here in sydney who swears by "N1 cams". lol, he buys, and fits them and tells me they work very well with small turbos. in fact up to that point I had always thought they were the same too, but he convinced me.

edit: ahh, ok, just did some research. they are different to regular R32 and R33 cams. so still a good change for 32 or 33 RB26s and with some cam gears would be nice. but you are right, 34 GTR and 34 GTR N1 use the same cams. so no point for any 34 owners to buy them really. They can be used in RB20 too, but I have seen some pretty mixed results from RB20 with GTR cams.

anyway, considering all that, make the cams $350 a pair.

1 set of valve springs sold.

ok, price updates.

timing belts now $90 + $5 postage

Cams $360 inc postage

btw, 1 set of cams sold, 1 set of springs sold.

sorry mate, no engines. :ermm:

price drop on the gear left.

R34 N1 valve springs $250 for a set, brand new.

R34 N1 cams, $250 a set brand new. good if you want to get a regrind, you can start with brand new cams.

Genuine nissan RB26/20/25 timing belts brand new, $80.

Still got most of this stuff. completely forgot I had it till I tripped over the box. :P.

so to sumarise.

1 X Brand new R34 GTR N1 Nur Valve springs $250 for full in and ex set.

2 X Brand new R34 GTR N1 Nur Cams (in and ex). these can be cheaply reground into whatever you want and if going regrind it's good to start with brand new camshafts. note, to use on 32 or 33 I believe you need a 34 type CAS or some modding. check with your trusty mechanic. $250 per pair

2 X Brand new genuine Nissan RB timing belts, suit RB20, RB25 and RB26. perfect if you are nearing the 100,000km mark, or a good time to swap if you are fitting adjustable cam gears. these are top quality. :( $80 each. that is a bargain!

I have moved house now guys and this gear is clogging up the joint. do me a favour and buy something. :)

Hello Richard,

Those Valve springs fit a GTR33?

Have to ask.....even though I am 99%.

PM me if they do.

Thanks

Tekin..

Oh...can you build me an engine and send it too :bunny:

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
