Cheers Thomas,

Not a lot of room thats for sure.

Yep, just waiting for some valve shims and other stuff to come in from Japan ordered through nissan Blacktown.

Can't wait to get her on the road!!

Should be the longer drive on yours, get back to us on what you find. My engine was out of an R33 GTR by the engine number as it was changed before it came to Aus I'm sure.

I was going to go a fresh set of stock pistons, rings, bearings originally, or just the forged standard size pistons to freshen up till I found the scores.

Bore and hone cost $350 (sort of a favour) thats why I got away with keeping costs down, head skimed, cleaned etc $90. All the rest, done myself.

The hardest thing is not spending more money on crap you didn't put in your goal, budget. It really can snowball, gotta draw the line somewhere lol.

Hey Sean..

Hopefully I find out about that drive sometime this week.

Definately know where your coming from about drawing the line.. Like I said same situation as you were in a few weeks ago.. Yet to open her and decide what needs to be done all pending on condition..

Cheers Tomek

coming along nicely! :P cant wait to start on mine..

as for the budget thing here's my story.. was going to put the n1 motor i bought straight in.. took 5 months to get here so i started buying bits and pieces.

then when the motor arrived i was told to pull it down to inspect, which moved me towards a full rebuild, lucky as there are some small scores up and down the bores on most cylinders, so a rebuild was a must.

hopefully will finish up under 10k haha

Cheers Andrew.

Wish I had an N1 block lol, nah, not for my application :(

Scores in the bores?, how deep are they?. It would be nice if they disappeared with a light hone would be nice, but I guess you will take it out to 86.5?

  • 3 weeks later...

Bolting up as much as I can before it goes back in.

Craved is nearly finished. Loving his work.

Nope. I'm happy with what I put in it. I'll kick myself hard later, but N1 pumps go ok.

Still have to find out what housing I have here, that I was going to put the billet gears in and use in the engine. It's not an N1 pump so I didn't use it due to being unsure of what I had. Still don't know, no one knows.

The one on the left. No idea?????

Have I lost anyone lol.

Tomoz morning is the plan.

The other thing I did the other day was setup and adjust the inline throttle setup. Completed that in accordance with the manual, and it's pretty easy after you read it like 5 times lol. Nice and smooth and all good.

There was a couple o little things this arvo to get done before she goes in, like fit the balancer and torque to 350,000 foot pounds lol. And fish out a washer I dropped down the front cover GRRRRRRRRR! It's out phew.

Got covers off Craved today :P:P .

The guys who spotted the covers in the shed were blown away lol, no complaints here lol.

    • from an old insurance company i was with (Budget Direct) I had someone roll back into me at the lights got them to pull over. Got a picture of thier licence with address, had a dash cam video and, thier phone number. But only had 3rd party on the shitbox i was driving. insurance did nothing, cops wouldn't do anything due to the value of the damage (under $3000) so i just had to suck it up and go to U Pull It. 
    • Small Update on the Exhaust Situation A 200-cell cat was a bit too expensive for now, so I had the exhaust shop fabricate a new exhaust from the cat to the rear and an exhaust tip. I went this route to avoid cutting into the original exhaust and keep it intact. It’s essentially straight-piped, and the sound is noticeably different. The exhaust tip came with a silencer, so if it gets too loud, I can easily install it to tone things down slightly. Right now, the car bangs and pops like crazy -- which I personally love. In the future, I might add a resonator or a 200-cell cat, as niZmO_Man suggested, but for now, I’m really happy with how it turned out.  
    • And that's a massive problem, because deadshits will deadshit and give you false details. At least in these days of mobile cameraphones, it is trivial to take photos of any ID they are carrying at the same time as the 300 photo extensive documentation of the state of the vehicles that I recommend even for minor incidents. And you get photos of the person's face, any visible tatoos, etc etc, while you're at it. Then you try to avoid mentioning that you're fully capable of making explosives of various power levels and will wreck their shit if you are forced to hunt them down.
    • No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party
    • If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.
