R33 GTR uprated block - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Does anyone know a good place to pick up an uprated block for my R33 GTR? I have my own garage and currently deal with GTart but am trying to weigh up my options for replacing the standard block with a like for like or an uprated version.
Thanks,
NATE

Can you elaborate on an uprated block? Bigger capacity, or stronger?

There is the N1 option, which is supposedly stronger, or lighter than the stock 05U block. Can be bought from Nissan, but still 2.6 litre based.

RB30, higher deck block for 3litre conversions on the cheap.

Or the exotic stuff like the OS Giken 3.0l kit, which comes with a block and other bit and pieces to make up an entire sub assembly. Aint cheap, but seems to have a lot of followers at the moment.
