We've listed the Nissan RB26 Nismo intake manifold collector as 3D scan data ↗. It's the start of a bigger job: getting the scan data we've collected over the years onto the website so you can buy the files.
The collector is a 272 MB STL, 5,588,110 triangles, scanned on a Creaform HandySCAN 700 Silver at up to 0.030 mm with a max triangle resolution of 0.22mm. A scan is a surface record, not a model, so the listing says where the scan data is missing: inside the chamber, and around the barb hose fittings. The listing carries 27 views of the part so you can check the coverage before you buy. This is going to be standard across all of the 3D scans we will be listing in future.
While we're here, the bare RB26 block ↗ and the bare RB26 cylinder head ↗ are already up.
Rendering an STL into 28 consistent views by hand is not work that im keen on doing, so we had a small app built for it inside claude. Load the STL, lock the front view, and the other 28 views are positioned and framed off that. Backgrounds are switchable and scan color updatable. Every image will get a watermark soon so it can't be pinched!
We lean on Claude, ChatGPT and Google AI Studio for tools/apps like this.
If you need a part scanned, let us know. If it's a Nissan R32 R33 R34 or Rb26 part there's a fair chance we've done it already. If not, we can arrange it.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the Nismo collector scan file, and the other RB26 scans.
An STL mesh, 272 MB, 5,588,110 triangles, supplied as a one-off licence for the purchasing customer only.
The listings we have here are stl mesh files, but if you require a STP STEP, we can reverse engineer these files for you and or modify them, update them, improve them, whatever is required. This will obviously have a project cost tied to it and would need to be individually quoted. Reach out per email.
Up to 0.030 mm, scanned on a Creaform HandySCAN 700 Silver Edition. Mesh resolution is 0.22 mm.
Inside the chamber and around the barb hose fittings. The rest of the part is fully captured.
No. Redistribution, resale, file sharing and transfer to third parties are prohibited, and each dataset carries a unique identifier.
Yes. We do CAD conversion, surface modelling and feature extraction as a service - get in touch with what you need.
The RB26 bare block and bare cylinder head are listed now. More are going up as we work through the archive.
