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...

Ok it's done

Nitto H beam rods

Nitto 86.5 pistons

Nissan N1 block

ALL BRAND NEW!! :D:D:D

Now onto getting the sump sorted...

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

looking forward to more of this build.

Nice one Glyn. Should really start ramping up now!! :P

Looking good robbie, was the block from justjap?

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

mmmm new nitto goodies....

Yehhhhh boiiiiiiiiii!! :cool:

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

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
