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?

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.

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.

Crank over, then start!

Bed in engine. ;)

    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
