I used a grub screwed, machined and balanced, nitrated standard crankshaft (Nizpro spec??) .. should hold up with most, I was told that should be good for 800+HP.

really where did you see that?

We've already finished the worlds first genuine RB33 (ie actually slightly over 3300cc) and it was not quite as simple as we first thought it would be, we have twin 3037s and it will be shipped to Ireland for install in a R33 GTR shortly.

I can also vouch for stock RB30 cranks to 9000rpm 1000+hp, and stock RB30, pistons and rods to 8000rpm and over 500rwkw in a track car without problems, although I usually tell my customers 7200rpm, 1.5 bar 400rwkw.

Theres one been sitting in an engine here for 8 months. Still waiting for the rest of the car to be finished before it debuts.

Will be an interesting animal for sure.

Hi Rips, I've seen the excellent development work you guys have been doing over the years, but I don't think yours is the first this time :thumbsup: the crank I saw came out of a motor that had been running for a while. I'm not actually sure why it was apart I couldn't see anything wrong with it.

Anyway, I saw this one at Hills Motorsport, I'm sure Mark can provide details to anyone who is interested. I certainly am :)

My stroker crank is getting closer.

The drawing is finished .Final measurements are 93mm stroke - this will make 3317cc with a 1mm over bore. I will also make a 95mm stroke 3388 cc( but the block will require a little clearancing )

Custom rods will be needed also, these will be I beams and come in the kit as well as pistons.

The first crank should be here early next year.

Dont ask on pricing as the Aus dollar is totally influencing things at the moment.

RB25/26 cranks are next, also SR20 and CA18

As long as the cost is reasonable (considering there's no social proof to attest to reliability etc) you shouldnt have an issue moving them. Im keeping an eye on your website solely to find more info about that crank option - ive got a spare rb30 block here that (if the price was right) id be happy to put in my GTR and crank out some silly numbers with

I will be building a test engine with the 1st sample - and I will be leaning on it hard - as in very hard with a 50/50 toluene mix.

A Brian Crower 3.4L 2JZ stroker kit ( crank rods and pistons ) in todays market is around $8500, mine will be considerably less. But it still wont be cheap as this is a 4340 billet crank, with 4340 I beam rods and more than likely a custom CP piston to suit.

So dont expect anything less than 5k-6k plus.

What capacity are you doing the CA18 to? :P

mmmmmm i think this is a good excuse to delay a rb30 build lol

are mahle pistons really that much better then CP?

LOL makes me want to rush the turbo installation and wind it right up so I can break it sooner and push her to 3.4L.. if only my bank account had the same sentiments lol :(

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
