Hi all,

I'm trying to get a N1 engine identified whilst still in the car. Can anyone tell me where I would find the I.D. numbers? I know I'm after the '24U' stamped on the block....I just don't know where to find it. The car is interstate so I need to let the owner know where to look.

Cheers.

If its in the same spot as my rb25det. Its located on the passenger side on the block just above the sump and next to where it joins the gearbox. There is a smooth section where it will be stamped on. Mine was hard to read.

+1..all stamped right on the bell housing, down low, behind the turbo.

To read mine, I had to remove the heatshield...and because it was hard to read...I had to setup a worklight under the passenger side wheel, shining pretty much side on to that flat section with the number...only just barely readable then...I've gotta get around to engraving the numbers deeper.

The "24U" engine code is not actually stamped on. It's part of the casting of the N1 block. If you want to find the engine number, it's on the driver side near the front on the block. Just checkout the pic. The numbering will go like this:

RB26xxxxxxX

"x" denotes the engine number sequence. "X" means it's an N1 or Nismo block. A standard 05U block with have "A" instead of "X".

Awesome cheers for the help guys. Any other easy way (I know the turbos are different?) besides the no rear windscreen wiper & no stereo? I'm just wanting to make sure as the one I'm looking at has got a rear windscreen wiper but the owner is totally sure its a N1. I can only ssume the possibility of the rear windscree nwiper being installed for compliance. Even if its just a clean GTR with a N1 engine (the whole thing...Cams, Block, Turbos etc etc) I'll be happy. If its just the block and the rest is standard GTR I'm not too sure.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
