Hiya
Im a proud owner of a 98 sr16ve pulsar vzr 5dr. The car is actually still shipping over from Japan.
I wasn't sure whether they actually made the vzr n1 in a 5door or 4 door version. so i just bought a normal one as the mileage was just 36k. its black, in very good standard condition and I can't wait to put n1 parts in to it. how hard can it be to convert it to an n1? I like 175 bhp but i'd love 197 bhp or more.
I cannot sleep at night in the long wait. still have 4.5 weeks to wait.
At present Im driving a 97 1.6SLX Almera 4 door. its a lovely motor and i will miss it. (its beginning to get rust on the arches and sills ) My new car on the other hand has been kept in mint condition with no rust! im gonna do this auto glym thing where your paint work wont rust for 5 years.
i was thinking of the GTi which my m8 just bought. but in the uk they only have 3 door versions. I have a crying baby and family so it had to be at least 4 door. Ive had 2 4door almera's. one silver 2.0d that was imported from Japan and was a diesel Automatic which was rare and nice in the uk for the price. i saw another one for sale in vzr mode recently but had already bought my 5 door. 5 doors will be more practical what with prams and that.
Anyway, Glad to be on board.

All right I feel I should barge into this.
The vids you've seen are no more than 10K. Usually 9250rpm. You may seen the videos but you didn't notice the details, comments and description.
The is no N1 water/oil pump. They are the same with sr16ve.
There is N1 water pump pulley which is 1mm larger than the stock but it does not work on sr16ve pumps.
The stock water pump is very sufficient especially as the revving grows.
If you place the pulley it will make things worse. Your engine will hit up faster as long as it stays in low rpms.
Soon temperature grows it takes quite some time to drop again.
You don't need the thermo. The engines are meant to operate at ~80C and will not lower that.
To place a lower temp thermo you need to alter an ecu setting which tells the engine when it's warmed up and ready to operate at maximum performance. This setting is at 75C on all sr16ve ecus so until you reach that temp your engine will not perform the maximum and it will burn more fuel.
You can rev up to 8500 on a stock sr16ve with tuned ecu.
p.s None of the vvl engines produces the factory power claims. They are near to do so by ecu tuning.
To Raceworx. Why do you advice the guy something you didn't try?
You may not like me, I can live with that.
Find the cheapest Ultimate on ebay add the shipping cost and realize that on that price range you could have your stock ecu fully tuned.
What does that mean? No wiring, no hassle, no trouble for you and proven results.
Imaging buying the ultimate, finding someone to wire it and try to tune it on a dyno.
I've seen so many threads of people asking advices how to tune the emanage.
Best practice is to dyno the car before and after any change.
You are free to prove me wrong.
By the way we are only 4-5 shipping days away that could get to 2-3 depending on cost.
Search for lonewolf posts regarding that marvelous header. He gained nothing!
I've had light weight pulley on my car and I removed it cause dyno proved no impact.
I feel safer on stock reving on high rpms.
I have currently replaced a low temp nismo one with the standard 76.5C thermostat after nissan supplied me with it using my VIN would what you say about the ecu sensing the temperature apply here?
