You know what get the hell outta my party....i know 30 block is bigger, i know 26 head is far way better. But i already have no way back now...ok? I spent good amount of money and if isnt of no use i'll buy another 26head and we got another engine...yeah it will be a brand new engine because the 26block has a very very wide variety of highly engineered parts down there from the biggest aftermarket engineering companies in the world that the 30 doesnt. Thats the whole main reason smart guy. Starting from tomie crankshafts to uprated pistons, their rings and everything...then my head will have tomie or hks camshafts and a whole new set of sensors from nissan to make the calculations just accurate...oh i also bought carbon fiber rocker cover and i dont wanna give that away...and a big turbo with the manifold, downpipe etc...so yeah i am a twat and next time do your retarded research right because bikes have reltively smaller engines and they are sooo many times faster than cars can ever be!

Not meaning to offend here..

But they were meaning the N1 block isn't worth buying over a normal rb26 block if applying your head..Or the 26 bottom being of any advantage. The cost far outweighs any gain ( there won't be ) over a 25 or 30 bottom end, which you can still put all your HIGH quality brand crank, pistons etc into.. Seems you are also money conscious, so forget about the N1 block, and spend the money elsewhere.. The block itself will not make the motor any better in your case.

Also standard rb30 crankshafts have produced over 1000hp, therefore not requiring aftermarket crankshafts, also the only reason someone would buy a tomei crank is if it were a stroker, which the rb30 does with it's capacity.... I'm not even going to list the aftermarket support for the whole RB series of engines, but there are plenty of big brand companies producing quality products = and superior to the Japanese product which will work with the 3l

The 3L block has its flaws. Yes they are ok to make HP but the 26 still does it better. If he has a Tomei stroker going in then he is better off with the N1 block anyway because it's ability to be further machined and still retaining strength. Then theres also the fact the Tomei crank will spin up faster due to its reduced weight, better counterweighted for the aftermarket rotating assembly and able to rev much higher without risk of crank flex or movement. When everyone else is changing gears at 8k, he will be flipping the bird while he hangs on at 10k :thumbsup:

I would say let the guy do as he pleases, he's not doing anything wrong.

Thats true, but he won't be changing at 10k with hydro lifters. So a block that bolts up would seem a better option or a head that suits the chosen block over extra machine work to achieve the same thing... If he had a built head already be different story, but seems as though he is only into early stages of build..

Either way, yes it can be done at a cost, whether that cost is a smart or most efficient decision..

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
