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.

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 :(

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
