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... :)

Gidday mate, well i dont envy you at all as i know exactly how you feel as i too was on the waiting list for a 26 crank which believe me arent gonna be in aussie for quite some time. i flukently happened to get probably the last new 33 crank in Aussie from white hot motorsports in Dport that had been race preped and then shelved due to a change in racecar. I can give you a coulple of options, 1. i know of a 32 crank on standard 00 grind in exel cond for $500 or 2.I have a 33 crank at crankshaft rebuilders in melb that needs a 0.010 grind. R 32 crank as you may know have the downfall of a smaller oil pump drive surface that have been known to give probs when run with a high volume pump, but as a rule should be fine depending application. I dont know what the cost of the repair to mine would be but can find out if you think you might be interested ( spun No 1 bigend,but on measurement will clean up fine). Apart from that join the other 320 plus worldwide on backorder and twiddle thumbs >_< , cheers paul, 0428838802 if you need more info

Take the R32 crank for sure if you can't get the 33 one....the oil pump drive isn't as large but its not like its some sort of time bomb, especially with a new oil pump.

Both 32 cranks I've pulled out have shown wear on the pump but not that many of them fail.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
