hi guys, i was jus wonderin if any1 has a spare r33 crank out there? i found out yesterday that austarlia an nissan japan r out! every1 is waitin for the back order in japan but they havent told any1 how long the wait is...so my engine rebuild has come to a halt...so i have 4 options...

1. wait till the back orders r ready (which have been told that it could take either jus weeks or months!) an do the rebuild...

2. get a 2nd hand r32 crank in good cond. an put a jun crank collar on an continue with the rebuild...but have been told its nots recommened kos bein 2nd hand crank it could crack at any time...

3.for about $6000-6500 i can get an r33 rb26dett put in with an exchange 4 my old engine...not sure wat condition the r33 engine is in an also only get 3 month warranty with it...

4.for about $9000 i get the r33 engine put in an also keep my old engine...again get 3 months warranty...

so wat do u guys think? which option should i go for?

or obviously if i can get a new crank all 2gether than ill take that option...

thanks 4 the advice guy... :)

impul, this is what hes trying to do, unfortunately nissan aus and world wide, are out of cranks, and don't know whent hey will have anymore..

i luckily scored one late last year for my car from a private seller in the east still in the box, so that may be one option, get some adds intot he for sale sections..

otherwise, get your old crank checked for straightness and if it needs a polish/grind and re-use it, if its not cracked it will be fine to use.. and get the jun collar installed if you have an early model 32 crank

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
