Been looking around and i can't seem to find any place that sells the whole engine package for RB25DET or RB26DETT, withoutit being already sold, out of date (eg. selling in 04/05/06" etc)

Got a few questions here:

Does anyone know if Nissan only sells the N1 block or the whole engine package? (crate engine)

Does anyone know where i can buy a fair shape RB25DET or RB26DETT, cause most places i been refered to seem to not have anything or they dont know themselves and jsut say to go there.

I have a R34 25GT (on p's thats why its non turbo) and i want to buy engine asap to keep for when im off em. The longer i wait the harder these packages are to find in good condition. With money a slight factor, if i was to convert the 26 to rwd and chuck it in, engineered and all compared to a 25, are we looking at a huge jump in price (eg. thousands of dollars? [keep in mind i would upgrade tranny, brakes blah blah on either a 25/26] just comparing the swap out costs.)

If anyone can answer my questions above i'd be very greatful. Reason i wanna get it now is cause im selling my other car for 5G (just a crapbox i got for free :)) and i know i will waste that on something stupid and not save it so i might aswell get the engine now, if possible.

you can buy a brand new complete motor from nissan. either regular RB26 (R33 version) or N1 Version, or the grand daddy R34 N1 Nur version. In aus they seem to go for around the $15,000 mark. I just sold one around the $10K mark. either way they are available and will be for some time to come. The N1 motors come with N1 block, N1 cams, N1 oil and water pumps, and everything is weight balanced, oh and N1 pistons are apparently different composition as well and have better rings. but realistically fitting one to your R34 is a $20K+ proposition. and then you still need to do brakes, suspension etc.

Yeh i was prepared for the first reply, i dunno if i put that i can do that method too, but rather build a car fromt he ground up.

As for the nissan engine option, thanks for the info, thats what i was hoping to hear, i would have to go for the 34 Nur N1 i assume since i have to get it engineered and complied to either that of a current year or higher so 33 is out of the question, as for the brakes and suspension, transmission, and all the hullah that comes with adding a higher bearing engine, i am aware of this all and hoped to do the later part over the next year or so while im on p's....that way i can just drop the motor in practically and adjust it here and there (to get it working in rear wheel) and then im set...hopefully. lol

    • Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......
    • 440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
    • Appreciate everything guys. I did go ahead and get an alignment... most of my complains are solved. Car is not perfect, but it's good enough. If I notice uneven tire wear or anything I'll just take everything back to stock.  Thanks again!
    • They still have not shipped the 550cc injectors as they weren't in stock, so in theory I could ask to get the 440cc ones instead, if those work better in my scenario. They're the same price so really shouldn't be an issue. Unfortunately I am not so knowledgeable in most parts of tuning so I wasn't sure what's best to choose between the two. 440cc ones are the lowest they have (not in stock, but available to buy nonetheless).
