Haha yeah don't worry, if or when we sell the turbos you'll be the first to know. I'll keep you posted Verms.

At the moment I'm not so much after crazy amounts of power, more interested in response.

Cheers

Just 2 options IMHO that is.

Ditto Zebra's comments.

1. Keep the N1 and rebuild sensibley with some great forged pistons/rods. $10k

2. You can sell the N1 block for the price of a good new rebuilt RB26.

Dont get caught up in the chase for kw's.

There was a brief moment there where I got blinded by the thought of crazy amounts of power lol. I'm very glad that Jess stopped me from throwing all our money at it. I've had a chance to kind of step back and think and see that aiming for 800hp was a very bad idea. I don't need anywhere near that much power, especially on a street car lol.

Thanks for the advice Richard

You might not *need* it but 800hp is damn fun! :)

Some good advice from the guys here though.

Think about what you want to use the car for long term. I know my goals have changed a lot since I did my engine build and I have had to go back and fix things because of this.

Haha I can only imagine how much fun 800hp would be.

At the moment, long term, I'm thinking it would be awesome just to be able to drive this thing around. Build it so it's nice and solid. Nothing crazy but at the same time maybe spending a bit extra on things like oil pump/bigger sump. The gtr will definitely see the very occasional track day once it's driving again but we've decided it won't be the super sprint racer that I originally planned it to be. Once the gtr is back on the road I'll be looking for something else to be the dedicated track car. No idea what yet lol won't really worry to much about that til the gtr is back on the road.

I'm open to ideas though of you guys have any

Quick update:

So turns out how big an rb26 is in my head and how big it is in real life is completely different haha. Took dads falcon out to pick up everything this morning and only just managed to get everything except the block into the car lol. So will have to sort something else out to grab the block later on.

It's getting a little bit exciting now. Once everything is home I'll start pulling apart everything that we're not going to be using and selling it off. From there the parts collecting will begin!

Cheers mate,

Yeah I've seen those. Didn't know they were still for sale though. Would make things a hell of a lot cheaper haha but we've already bought the tickets to Japan so I don't have spare cash to buy one of these :(

Hi Drew - I hope it was you who got this off Fatz RB26 Long motor - rebuilt

Richard I really wish it was me but unfortunately I was to late. By the time I saw the add the engine was already gone :(

Thanks heaps for keeping an eye out though

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
