G'day,

I'm looking to buy a new rb26 package like an N1 motor or nismo motor. I want to get it straight from the Jap factory with the upgraded oil pump/sump. Alternatively if the price becomes an issue I will look at buying a stock rb26 from Nissan.

Has anyone done any of these options before, if so can you let me know of your experiences. I want to get a brand new motor asap,

Thanks for any feedback, KG

I can only think of 2 reasons to use an n1 motor.

1/ You are building a hge engine and want to start with the absolute best

2/ You have to run a standard motor due to race regs so this is the best you can build

theres a bloke here in canberra - greg tarlington Pro Engines. he's got an awesome reputation around canberra thanks to his strong builds. word has it he's going to be doing OS-style spacer plate 3litre rb26 stroker kits. forged/balanced everything etc etc. i'm not entirely sure what money he'd command for a combination like this, but he'd be a good place to start with your 12.5k methinks!

Wonder if that new N1 engine comes with turbos?

Surely you dont expect turbos , plenum and all the bolt ons for $12.5 k Andrew .

You just get the long engine with waterpump as you see in the pic but dont forget its all brand new !

Yes a rebuilt engine can be almost as good as new but most times its not , it depends on who does the machining and who puts it together .

There is no way you can built a 100 hp engine for $ 12.5 , you just cant buy the parts for that ,never nind put it together as well ..

No i didn't, but im suprised even the long motor is that cheap new :(

What about the gearbox in these things? If we're talking about a motor that can go to 650-700HP your already pushing the gearbox a little beyond what it can handle, meaning your gonna need to get a holinger. Why not go up-spec factory?

R34 Getrag's handle 700hp no worries (provided you don't hammer them on gearchanges and do massive launches all the time). However the conversion to a Getrag for an R32 or R33 will set you back around $20,000. (including a custom made Nismo tailshaft which can take 6 months to make)

For a GTR 5 Speed, PAR can do a strengthened gearset for $6100 ready to bolt in. 1 ~ 3 straight cut, 4th, 5th helical cut. Dual synchro's in 3rd and 4th (like the late R33 GTR boxes). The boxes are still easily driveable although you will hear gearbox whine from straight cut gears.

That'd be your best option IMHO to strengthen up your gearbox for big power.

Don't stress, My brand new R33 GTR gearbox from nissan whines!!!

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
