got mine about 4 months ago and it was the last one in stock in Oz from memory but the nissan guy said they could supposedly get more (that was his opinion, but everyone else said they are not available anymore).

mine was from Northside Nissan in Perth. Ring them and talk to steve barnes he will be able to get u the right info :(

not cheap but good insurance when going for over 600hp+

Yep, I was looking for an N1 block for a few months. None left in Australia anywhere, theyre on back order in Japan and manufacturing of them still hasnt restarted (and probably never will) so youre going to be extremely hard pressed to find one.

I ended up re-using my standard (I prefer the word 'seasoned') R32 block and the engine builder got Darton to make some custom sleeves for it to add strength to the bore.

Its being used with a JUN 2.7L stroker and will be holding quite a large amount of power.

"...and probably never will...".

I've heard this a couple of time now. Does anyone have a reason or a source for this. It doesnt make any sense to me, plus its kinda scary as my rebuild wil be either a Jun 2.7 or step 1 HKS 2.8 stroker. :happy:

After talking with a few people inside Nissan Australia, they got word from Nissan Japan that manufacturing would resume towards the end of 2006.

Its now getting well into 2007 and it still hasnt started, and theres now no confirmation coming out of Japan that manufacturing will indeed restart.

Even if it does, the list of pre-orders is well into the thousands so you would be in for a long wait if it does come back into production.

So being realistic... I dont think you will ever be able to purchase a new one again :happy:

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
