Hi guys,

Does anyone know if the RB26 N1 Blocks have smaller restricted oil galleries?

I've searched around the web and also this forum but can't seem to find any definitive information on this (Maybe I suck at searching?). Wiki page states:

The engine also received improved water and oil channels within the engine block. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_RB_engine#RB26DETT_N1)

But this statement does not provide any sources and is pretty vague.

On another forum it was reported that:

Oil curculation to the head is actually reduced in the 24u. Stock rb26 oil gallery orifice is 2mm, n1/24u oil gallery orifice is 1.2mm. This helps to prevent blow by, oil leak from valve guides and insufficient flow to the crank journals. (http://forums.gtrcanada.com/gt-r-tech/19517-24u-n1-block.html)

But following that claim, the person who had the N1 block actually measured the oil gallery from the top of the block at 2mm.

So are the oil galleries really smaller on the N1 block or not? Is it restricted down inside the block but opened up at the top to match all head gaskets?

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks guys! :)

I've not noticed any difference at all between the oil galleries in an N1 vs 05u block.

Head flow galleries are the same size as well. The restrictor size is for the most part irrelevant as everyone tend to knock in a 1.1 to 1.5mm restrictor anyway.

Thanks for the reply. Anyone else want to weigh in on it as well?

I understand the restrictor size would be irrelevant if both oil gallaries are the same. If I was to rebuild I would definitely put in restrictors but I'm looking at buying a GTR with an N1 block and the ad doesn't state whether restrictors were used in the build or not. That's the real reason behind my question.

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
