Cheers Thomas,

Not a lot of room thats for sure.

Yep, just waiting for some valve shims and other stuff to come in from Japan ordered through nissan Blacktown.

Can't wait to get her on the road!!

Should be the longer drive on yours, get back to us on what you find. My engine was out of an R33 GTR by the engine number as it was changed before it came to Aus I'm sure.

I was going to go a fresh set of stock pistons, rings, bearings originally, or just the forged standard size pistons to freshen up till I found the scores.

Bore and hone cost $350 (sort of a favour) thats why I got away with keeping costs down, head skimed, cleaned etc $90. All the rest, done myself.

The hardest thing is not spending more money on crap you didn't put in your goal, budget. It really can snowball, gotta draw the line somewhere lol.

Hey Sean..

Hopefully I find out about that drive sometime this week.

Definately know where your coming from about drawing the line.. Like I said same situation as you were in a few weeks ago.. Yet to open her and decide what needs to be done all pending on condition..

Cheers Tomek

coming along nicely! :P cant wait to start on mine..

as for the budget thing here's my story.. was going to put the n1 motor i bought straight in.. took 5 months to get here so i started buying bits and pieces.

then when the motor arrived i was told to pull it down to inspect, which moved me towards a full rebuild, lucky as there are some small scores up and down the bores on most cylinders, so a rebuild was a must.

hopefully will finish up under 10k haha

Cheers Andrew.

Wish I had an N1 block lol, nah, not for my application :(

Scores in the bores?, how deep are they?. It would be nice if they disappeared with a light hone would be nice, but I guess you will take it out to 86.5?

Nearly there!

Bolting up as much as I can before it goes back in.

Craved is nearly finished. Loving his work.

Nope. I'm happy with what I put in it. I'll kick myself hard later, but N1 pumps go ok.

Still have to find out what housing I have here, that I was going to put the billet gears in and use in the engine. It's not an N1 pump so I didn't use it due to being unsure of what I had. Still don't know, no one knows.

The one on the left. No idea?????

Have I lost anyone lol.

Tomoz morning is the plan.

The other thing I did the other day was setup and adjust the inline throttle setup. Completed that in accordance with the manual, and it's pretty easy after you read it like 5 times lol. Nice and smooth and all good.

There was a couple o little things this arvo to get done before she goes in, like fit the balancer and torque to 350,000 foot pounds lol. And fish out a washer I dropped down the front cover GRRRRRRRRR! It's out phew.

Got covers off Craved today :P:P .

The guys who spotted the covers in the shed were blown away lol, no complaints here lol.

Thanks Brad!

What a long day. Tired and got a headache.

Had to improvise with no chain for the engine crane this morning, (mate borrowed it a month ago).

Twin plate clutch was the first thing to go on this morning.

Cracked the s#%ts with crawling under the bloody thing later in the day. :D

Had a mate help me but had not much experience, so I'll be finishing up tomorrow.

To do tomorrow:

Bolt up gbox x member

Fit center tailshaft bearing mount

Fit a couple of belts and fan

CAS sensor

wiring

pipework

front suspension top nuts

gear shifter

Fill up oil, and do up sump plug!

Fill front diff.

Fill power steering

Coolant and bleed

Crank over, then start!

Bed in engine. ;)

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
