Bnr32 - Track Only Build

[Ants]

Got the head and block pulled down and dropped off to the mechanic so the real work can begin

Parts have been slowly coming in, will get some photos up asap.

gonna keep standard bore Robbie or something more exotic?

[$$slowmedown]

Few Tomei bits n pieces now in the house

Been waiting on the sump baffle for the sump extension, can now get this under way! 8.5L here we come

Anthony, it's looking like we'll be going to 87mm.

N1 block

Nitto pistons

Nitto H beam rods

Nissan 'long nose' (revised) crank

Tomei pump

[$$slowmedown]

Soooo pumped with this purchase

Roll cage arrived last week as well

Looks like we will be going to a new N1 block...hopefully get that ordered tomorrow but will be a 3 week wait from you know where

[Gts-t]

Looking good mate keep it flowing. Id be sticking with 86mm pistons so you have meat in the block left to go upto a 86.5 and then 87mm piston if the motor is damaged. The benfit will be the block will have been heat cycled many times by then and alot stronger than boring a new n1 block straight up. Really shouldnt have too many issues either way. Also you wont have any maching headaches and expenses if you can find 86mm forged pistons, i havent really looked into it. I think the standard oem pistons arent probably a bad thing with the cooling channel.

How much was the seat and rails and who did you order it through, a very nice bit of kit there! The willans harness will go nicely with it

Also nice looking tomei baffle, although i prefer the nismo one the tomei will obviously do the job. Who is doing the rest of the work on the sump for you and and what cost. Are you planning to run the drain/vent to the head or just running one vent from the sump straight to a catch can?

Cheers Mick. Yeh mate spot on. It's looking like Arias 86mm pistons will be the go and going to run them with Nitto H beam rods

I purchased the seat and harness off here! Cost me $900 including the harness. It was a local purchase as well so no cost for freight! I believe Rocket Industries carry them but...

Yeah I can't justify the Nismo price tag for the baffle...we modify the Tomei one to suit the new winged/extended sump as well and it's easier to do so with a Tomei one

And yep will be running a Nitto head drain. It will be the same set-up as [1 OF A] but less refined ha. Just some black rubber hose, push on fittings, and no fancy RIPS catch can!

I've got a local guy in mind for all the ally work just gotta get over to his place and nut it out!! Never enough time...

[Anfanee]

Honestly with this being a track only build why not go dry sump Robbie?

[$$slowmedown]

Money...You've got to draw the line somewhere mate

Everything costs a lot in GT-R land!

[Gts-t]

Nice setup Robbie, I'll be interested to see how you go with the sump

[Anfanee]

very true

[$$slowmedown]

Ok it's done

Nitto H beam rods

Nitto 86.5 pistons

Nissan N1 block

Now onto getting the sump sorted...

So I now have a used N1 block for sale ready for sleeving if anyone is interested

[$$slowmedown]

Cheers Mick, no mate just direct through Nissan as it was cheapest (trade price). Just have to wait a couple weeks for it as ex Japan

Yehhhhh boiiiiiiiiii!!

Can't wait to see how old Quaifey performs...have heard nothing but good things!! Should put less stress on the block as well which can only mean good things

Mine is getting its first run this weekend... Interesting your comment about the block, what's the theory behind that?
