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

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
