hey guys, ive just got my rb25 block and rb26 crank back from the machine shop and i was planning on getting it Cryotemp frozen. ive heard it works really well. milanco had that et pulsar that ran 11s and all it had was all the internals cryo'd. also my work mate had his 2lt turbo pinto block done and after 2 meets it had to be pulled down cause of a knock to find a cracked bore. could have just been a dodgey cast from factory though... has any1 else had good/bad experiences with cryotempering? thanks, adam.

nismoid, im hoping to get around 500rwhp out of it. ive got forged rods/pistons, type a cams and springs, lots of headwork and alot of money lol the list goes on of all the usual mods. that why i thought while it was out i might aswell do what i can do strengthen up the block and crank while im at it. its not 400rwkw but i dont like things near there limits, id rather overdo something the 1st time rather then not and be paying for it big time later on..

its not near the limit, was my point.

a stock setup crank will go well over 450rwkw +

Had before, will do many many more times.

Cryo is a big thing here in the states. Guys have their blocks done, cranks, rods, pistons even bearings. I've never heard anything but people talking good about it. So if you have the extra coin, why not just get it done to be safe right?

used it on gear box internals with mixed results, it is hard to quantify the results and really depends on what your getting cryo treated. I find the jap stuff seems to be better material than stock over say the old yank V8 iron that is really driving the cryo bus.

Another good point ... If you have the money, why not just buy the best of the best parts. Then you should not have to cryo treat!

thanks for the info! got a quote today, $180 for the crank and block. going to drop it off on friday and will be ready by monday.

i would love to have the money to buy the best of the best lol by the time this engine is finished it will be owing me 18k, thats with me doin all the work, so i dont really wanna blow out anymore than i already have. an extra $180 is very affordable compared to say a new block and crank.

thanks for all the input guys, adam.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
