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

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
    • Glad it eventually came out Duncan!   I believe that might be 040. 044 is the inline pump, so has screw fittings in and out. 040 is more just drop it in fuel and the bottom is "open" (mesh) from my memory
