More OEM goodness, special thanks to Andrew @ Kudos Motorsports for the parts. Cheaper, faster than Nissan themselves so winner in my books!

One last time to admire the head before it gets all dirty

Last night's efforts involved getting the timing kit on, checking all timing marks and getting the tension of the belt on correctly. Alternator and water pump ancillary belt on too!

Yes I know it's a Gates belt, part of me remembers I ordered a stock belt but after opening the package just the other week after a year it got me by surprise lol. Maybe the guys at 999 Automotive packed the wrong thing or I actually ordered the wrong kit, nevertheless it's on!

Brand new crank pulley on too, none of that fancy Ross business either. OEM should be good for the "stock" motor lol.

Looking good. Where did you get the drip tray that fits over the engine stand - looks like a good idea.

I borrowed it from my mate haha.. I think he got the lot from Burson's

The quicker I get this shit box done, the quicker I can throw it on the dyno and start tuning it. Started to get the itch, thus the build thread is moving a bit faster.

Already altered my existing map for the new motor, predicting it would be a little laggier I've flattened the timing instead of ramping it once torque decays

nice bits...

the question is...will you be able to keep up with the ricecake at wakie.....

i'll be holding it flat through the kink with ~310kw m8...then hard on the brakes & hot into the first corner....powering out with the force of 1000 naprec's

Le Siet Bok never stands down a challenge, this heap of shit barge is made for the straights! *cough* Powercruise, Roll Racing, WSID lol

In seriousness, should be able to be competitive at Wakefield, hopefully dip into the 1m5s~6s with a proper driver.

Man I'm getting tired of putting this croc of shit together. Constantly sleeping late, skipping gym and smelling like a degreaser meth lab lol.

Tonight's effort: cam baffle plates, half moons, cam covers, cas bracket and sealed up the sump.

I ended up with 2x 10mm dark bolts that have rounded ends after the thread finishes. Not too sure where they go lol.

Looks mint. I have some spare rb25 covers (which have been gutted internally to fit a 26) that are perfect for putting in an engine so you dont mark your freshly painted ones... but looks like the new ones are permanently on!!!

Isn't building an engine a workout anyway? :P Just dead lift the engine or squat with the head or something.

I've actually injured my back several months ago... these days I'm deadlifting what my missus does at the gym and it's a struggle :(

Great work on the engine.
Brb checking if mine still in car as this engine is looking way too similar :P

So close yet so far, typical NBNish delivery lol.. Over budget and project schedule blown out of the water.

20171119_150015_HDR.thumb.jpg.0506f2e3ff835819acf655c1d903a7ad.jpg

Got the hot side on, then found out drain doesn't fit lol... Fine, eBay some dim sim goodness, should arrive soon.

20171119_115336_HDR.thumb.jpg.be7f3316b6de4958b431c881d2ed46e8.jpg

Then go and fit the coldside, started to look good.. Then yep, just my luck all thr injector boss o-rings are cracked from prolong exposure in my tool box. Decided to Yolo and ordered 1550cc Bosch injectors, Plazmaman rail and now will remove the R33 plenum and fit the R34 NEO plenum instead, this means I no longer need any injector bosses. Another delay sigh...

Oh yeah these are the two bolts that came back with my head when I got it machined and tickled, anyone have any idea where it goes? Lol

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
