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

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
