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.

Thanks Brad!

What a long day. Tired and got a headache.

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. ;)

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
