hey guys i need some help i have recently found out some either really good or really bad new this week still not too sure yet but basically we pulled the head off and looked down the bores and 2 of the cylinders have marks that you cal feel with your finger nails...looked and the head and the same valves for those cyclinders had a white colouration to them im guessing it ment they were leaning out?

anyway im looking at a full rebuild plus machining and all that for the bottom end i was wondering on your opinions i was thinking forged bottom end but i am new to this so if i can get some help it would be fantastic....i was thinking westend performance in campbelltown for the machining and im from wollongong there is a couple of good engine shops down here but if i can get some ideas on shops or combos that would help alot thanks guys will post photos and stuff of the stock gear and the build along the way

really depends on your budget and the direction you want to take your car, like i said before, the cheapest and easiest way is probley to just buy a complete engine and drop it in, you can get them for around $3500 and $4000 or....

there is a 2.7 jun stroker kit for sale in the for sale section just needs a set of pistons which would work good for you since you are going to have to boreout your block to get rid of scoing so you can just buy what ever size pistons you need after you find out how far you have to bore it or....

i remember seeing a built 3ltr i there some where aswell ready for a 26 head.:thumbsup:

Definately get Aarons one. Like i said on the phone it would be an awesome buy and with turbo's etc will work out the same cost as a rebuild without the headaches

I can tell you about that engine. I bought and installed that into the car. I can assure you it's 100% genuine R34 N1 Nur engine. I purcahsed it brand new from nissan in japan. had it fitted to the R32. and then imported it. I sold the car to aaron a couple of years ago and he's been a very fastidious owner ever since. I don't know what he's asking for it but I know what it cost. if it's anything around $5K it's a steal. it's very low km and will handle plenty of power.

ok sweet how long did you own this motor and how many kms did it travel with you?yea i have read they can handle like 600hp but if i can get anywhere over 300kw atw ill be happy and obviously wind it down for normal daily driving to around 220kw i think that should help the motor last a lil longer but yea giving the mechanic a call today about it and hopefully pick it up next weekend providing its all good....

i did however find this for a bottom end rebuild would you guys care to comment please?

I would have to check when exactly I purchased the motor (possibly 2009?). I bought it brand new from nissan kokura (japan) and it was checked and installed by Prime Garage (built cars like Yoshioka's D1 car, Super GT cars etc). I had the car for not long, maybe 1 year and I would say travelled less than 2,000kms on it. It was treated very well when I had it and I'm sure treated just as well when Aaron had it. He was a fastidious buyer (had the car and engine thoroughly checked before he bought it off me) and a very careful owner. Aaron probably has some pics etc from when I had it installed. i'm pretty sure I passed them on to him.

just checked, it was about June 2009 it was built. I also bought brand new R34 n1 turbos for it too. it also has tomei 1.2mm head gasket, and the head was expertly ported by Tetsuya at prime garage. From memory it had the inlet manifold etc port matched too. also fitted brand new injectors, brand new R34 crank angle sensor, 6 brand new genuine coil-packs, and ignition transistor unit (over $1200 just for those 2 bits). also had brand new N1 crank damper fitted, all new hoses etc too. Also has tomei timing belt and other gaskets. Just checked my bills, total was about $20K for the engine work, the engine, and fitting.

The car itself was immaculate too. I still have the old engine I removed from it to make way for the nur engine. That engine was still in perfect health too. If aaron doesn't have the receipts for it I still have copies I can give him.

Good price for a rebuild it with the dearest parts in it. Will handle more power then you intend to throw at it.

Kyle , I have all the photos and receipts from when i bought the car from beer baron all up this engine has done 42, 000 kms from when it was installed as brand new engine , if you did buy it all this information will go with the engine . Aaron.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
