Yeah same for mains. 
You can buy single pistons from Nissan, which I did to replace number 6 and bought another set of rings. All the bores got honed so it's fresh again.
They're both headache savers but Amamaya's processing time is a bit slow. Everything is in Australia for this order yet it takes 3 weeks to get it.

Hey mate, was just wondering what grade bearings came out of your engine?, connecting rods and mains. I had grade 0 across the board. I was expecting to see graded bearings in there to match the blocks crank bore and crank journal and pin journal size stampings. Did you just replace with same grade bearings that came out or get the micrometers on it? Cheers

Pretty sure mine were grade 0 too. I just put what came out back in and all the clearances came up spot on.

Finished off Deutsch plugging the engine harness. If I decide to change ECUs down the track, all I have to do is Deutsch plug that harness.

It turned out bulkier than I would have liked but it will be tucked away behind the glove box.

Oooh 3k! Should be interesting to see what the normal driving is like. Should be pretty ors for the drag strip! They've got expensive though ... Must be a long time since I've checked the prices! Sigh. Another thing to add to the budget... :)

Pulled out the nav unit to make way for the EMU. Made up a bracket/fascia to house it and have two provisions for the option harnesses. I still need to wire in the LC2 and mount the unit but that can be done after run in.

Fitted a Raceworks 340lph fuel pump and wired it with direct 12v feed. You can't even hear the thing ?

FYI, on M35 Facebook book page and Matt's photos, there must be a slight change to the pump since 2016 as it didn't go all the way into the filter. With all my body weight on it and with silicone spray, that is as far as it would go in. Can't run the rubber damper as it would not ever fit. It's not coming though as I modified the base so it cups the end of the pump.

(I did have the base on the wrong way in the pic!)

Got the turbo back and they said they found nothing. They said it was either too much oil supply or not draining enough.

I asked what pressure they test them to and they said their machine does 60psi max. When I said these engine do up to 120psi and I had drilled the restrictor out, he said that will will most definitely make it leak as its way too much for even the wider seal they put in there to handle it.

Burred out my drain as big as I could and under their advice, bought a Turbosmart Oil Pressure Regulator (OPR) These are made to only allow 40spi into the core but at maximum flow.

Only place it could go is in the cam cover as it needs a drain. Drilled a hole just below the filler and inserted a tight fitting grommet. Ran new lines and it seems to be all sweet for now.

Got around to welding in another muffler, 100 cell cat and O2 bung.

Car did not get any quieter which I had hoped for because I have another piece to weld on when I get it to make it louder!

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
