I read somewhere that the SR16VE pistons, by themself, weigh 331 grams. I think it is safe to assume that the pin weighs appx. 100 grams and would be somewhat similar for both pistons?

According to Nissan, the SR16VE and the SR16VE N1 pistons (with wrist pin) are both 430 grams. Now, there may be a slight variation in the wrist pin weight, but I would assume that the pin is the same, which would mean the pistons are the same too. Either way, they would be very close if not exacty the same, so I think it is safe to say (without a scale) that the bare pistons (N1 vs non N1) are the same weight.
