Maybe i missed it, but why bore a new block 40 thou oversize?

Did the pistons only come in 87mm or something like that?

Unfortunately Simon had already purchased the 87mm 2.8 kit and had a used block...the decision to upgrade to N1 was made later in the piece. It was not a pleasant experience watching a fresh N1 being bored.

Fark looks the goods Paulie, you WILL have to call me before you start this thing up i want first ride.

BTW: Buy a new timing belt for god sake :(

and don't overtighten it for transport purposes! just fit it properly the one time. :D

engine looks good. tomei 2.8 is a very nice bit of gear. :)

yes paul exactly right. i had a used block here and as usual i changed my mind and brought an n1 to chuck it into instead. i could have used the 86.5mm pistons but it still would have needed an 20thou overbore either way i had no choice.

gave your block a chemical clean today Simon to remove all the nasty swarf, honing oil etc. Then gave the bores and deck a good coat of assembly oil. Crank has had a petrol bath, will get a spray down with carby cleaner in the morning and should be in and all torqued up by lunchtime.

don't worry im taking photo's

Stace was the 2004 National Drag Combat Series Champion and still holds the ANDRA Sport Compact record for the fastest (E.T.)and quickest (MPH) for a female driver. Considering she drove the car on regular street rubber with pump fuel and lowish boost its quite an achievement. She slots into 11th spot on this list http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ns...-s-t111251.html and hasn't raced for 3 years. She needs to get back out there and run a 10.

The rings...file down jobbies mate :/

doing the ring end gaps is my least favorite part of doing engines....cleaning parts in the parts washer is a close second.

Time for a bath...keen eyes may spot the extra 1.5mm releifs machined at the base of either side of the bore to give sufficient rod clearance

Right time for some assembly

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
