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.

That is a great price for that sort of money,I have heard they do a lot of R/D on certain standard parts i have been in Bens personal black r34 gtr as it is now in Perth it goes hard and seemed very reliable ,plus the engine bay looked completely stock,

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...

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
