Unless you are drag racing it constantly there Is no real need to go cement fill it. I am running a N1 block with custom 86mm CP Pistons to gain maximum bore thickness with stock girdle and the engine makes close to 900kw. It has had plenty thrashings still holding together quite nicely.

Cheers fellas! Good feedback! Seems like to the bottom of the welch plugs doesnt cause any problems so I will run with that.

XRATED - Ive already got a little 240v vibrating motor ready to bolt on my bench :)

NUR33 - I would have liked to put an N1 block in it but have already spent the money on the stock one so just chasing a little bit more strength / reliability.

Cheers Simon.

Great minds think alike... I'm 1/2 way though the install of my DC ally electric pump today.

I'm going to leave the mechanical pump in for a few reasons.....

1. I can't be assed pulling the whole face of the enginge off to rmove the water pump.

2. The mech pump will provide redundancey if the electric pump fails for any reason.

3. The underdriven N1 pump has a reduced parasitic draw on the engine, especially if it's not having to draw coolant.

4. I want to keep the stock fan hub and shroud arrangement, but will be gong to a gtek fan and adapter. I know I can press the impellor off the water pump, but see points 1-3.

5. The DC controller offers a fan out put that I'll be using to controll a thermo fan on one of my oil coolers.

Cheers

Justin

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
