looking at getting an engine rebuilt but also considering a new engine as everything is new, an quality should be good, would like the engine to be able to handle 400kw atw without babying it at all.

I guess most people have made this decision, an have done alot of research so your thoughts would be appreciated

i see just jap sell the N1 spec for 15k

tomei do the advanced spec for bout 20k plus getting it here

not sure who else does one. not sure if the n1 would handle the power i know the tomei would.

an the n1 spec engine has a 34 diff, n i got a 33, though also need a new clutch n gear box, so probably wouldnt be a massive deal. though the 34 gear boxes seem to be around 9k instead of 3k.

There is nothing special about an N1 spec engine. Total waste of such a large some of money. All that money for a standard stroke crank?

Rips is a good option if you want a 3.0. With the Yen how it is ATM, the Tomei (2.8) might not be THAT bad...

Yeah $15K for a N1 RB26 is a bit steep.

Although it has very high potential, there is cheaper and just as good, if not better out there.

As Racepace can build a Stage 1 engine that can handle up to 400kW for $10K.

Can you tell me how race pace build a 400 kw motor for 10 k ,what parts do they use ,as it sounds cheap does that include labour only reason I ask is a good oil pump alone is 1600 dollars,

They take your existing RB26 and rebuild it from bottom up.

For a quick run down:

Block / Head machined to Racepace specs / Strengthen / Blueprint Block similar to N1 specs.

Block is bored, honed, decked, crank tunnel line honed to Racepace specs.

Modified oil / tap / water galleries, fit threaded plugs / welsh plugs.

Pistons / Piston Rings / Conrods / Crankshaft are a mixture of OEM (Racepace Modified) / N1 / Nismo / Custom.

They use a Nissan N1 Oil Pump (Modified) even though a lot of people talk shit about N1 Oil Pumps, Racepace make it work.

Cylinder Head: Replace valve guides / stem seals, cut seats, face valves, match chambers, surface, re-shim valve clearances to RPM specs

Modified Combustion Chamber Shape.

Labour is included.

Yes, that's correct about the R/D, so they know what parts work well together.

I remember that black R34 GTR, it's so nice!

When you look at it, they really are an N1 block, slightly different pistons (still cast), N1 water and oil pump. Just to add insult, it's still a standard stroke crank.

If you're going to be spending all this money, you'd have rocks in your head not to go some sort of stroked engine.

And just to add, it does not come with turbo's either...

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
