The information you've been given so far is incorrect.

There are 3 different blocks: cast into the side of the block are the letters

05U or 24U

The std. blocks tend to crack bores when you exceed 550 to 600HP.

The STANDARD BLOCK 05U is a thin wall casting, due to the larger water jackets around the bores. (comes third for desirability)

The N1 and all R34 v-spec 24U is a thick wall casting and has the smaller water jackets around the bores. (comes second for desirability)

The GROUP 'A' BLOCK 05U but is a thick wall casting and has the smaller water jackets around the bores. (comes first for desirability, but rare)

Look for a block with the smaller water jackets, near the treaded holes for the head bolts.

You can buy the N1 block from NISSAN at around $3400.

p.s. You can also get fully sleeved blocks.....but thats another story.

Just some info from http://www.pow.com.au/gtr_engine_specs.htm

Race_block_sml_blk.jpgSpecial_Race_block_sml_blk.jpg

This is an ex-Bathurst Group A heavy wall block.

When GT-R engines make big horsepower (600hp+), they have been known to split the standard block. You may be wondering why the inside of the block is white in color ?

It has been sealed with an epoxy coating so that the oil drains back fast and bits of cast iron cannot break from the inside of the motor and go into the oil system. The welsh plugs holes have been tapped, the original welsh plugs removed and replaced with screw in machined aluminium ones to prevent them from ever popping out when under pressure.

This block is a very very rare item. These heavy wall blocks are not available anymore and are irreplaceable!

Man some ones going to buy the wrong block.

05U standard block

24U N1 block can be brought for $2500 from sau traders and dont think all R34 vspecs came with one.

RRR GT block best you can buy if you can find one dont go looking for change from $5000.

Brad.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
