Mate, turn off the caps lock.

Specified GTR crank runout is 2 thou (max), so 7 thou is a bit much. Straightening a crank is a very common procedure, and, no, it doesn't affect the strength of the crank (assuming they know what they're doing).

never machine a nissan crank much further than 10 thou as the side clearances will really run out, you need to radius then you will start going through the factory nitrating and you will have alot of probs. Generally I would say its ok but what bearing you going to get for 7 thou, you will find you will need to run to 10 more than likely. As stated good idea to fit a collar and a bigger oil pump, buy the time you do all this at a guess your machining costs are going to be up around $600, probs a better option to get a new one, but hey its up to you can be done.

You probably could re-nitride it, but this all adds to cost - and makes a new one seem even more reasonable if your going to spend that much on fixing the old one.

The old crank has done what? 100 000kms? Im sure a new one looks much more attractive.

nitriding is a very tricky process, especially to achieve the results the standard factory nitriding has achieved, its a waste of time and you probably ruin 1 or 2 cranks to get the process right, would you want to run the risk???? I am talking from experience, and anyway the crank wont need this if under 10 thou which it is!!!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
