Hello all.

I am trying to research a couple products from ATTKD/Autech and am having a couple issues :) .

I am interested in the ATTKD RB26 I-Beam Connecting Rods, but I can not find any info on them anywhere other than from JustJap, who is selling them currently @ http://justjap.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=78

I have checked all the usuall places, Google etc. even http://www.attkd.co.jp/ (ATTKD's Home Page/Website) but they (the Rods) are not even listed on their own website......VERY ODD.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please ? because other than JustJap (and assorted advertisements on numerous forums by JustJap)....these things don't seem to even exist in the rest of the world.

I have emailed ATTKD directly using the contact info on their website ( [email protected] ) and I am currently waiting for a response.......hopefully the language barrier will not harm my chances of getting a reply.

In the mean time, if anyone can give me some ideas......and web links, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance.

Allan

well just jap have a long history with ATTKD/Autech Tsukada and have even flown the owner out here to aus a number of times over the recent years. ATTKD is a relatively small but highly regarded tuner in japan and as such probably not many people outside of japan would know them, and they most likely don't really list all their parts on their website.

I have met the owner a number of times both here in aus when steve brought him out the first time, and at a number of events in japan. he is a great tuner and his shop turns out some top level GTRs and some great parts too.

Unfortunately I am in Canada, so ordering from Japan would be just as easy as ordering from Aus.

Also, JustJap are selling the rods I want on clearance on Ebay for $645 and when I contacted them and asked about shipping to Canada, they informed me that if I wanted them, I would have to purchase from their website and pay $799 + shipping instead.

On pure principal alone, this rubs me the wrong way.

Another thing to add is the fact that I order quite a bit directly from Japan, so upon contacting my Supplier who is authorized for every line you could possibly imagine and has been in the business for quite a few years, I was told by him that the rods in question do not even exist in Japan.....or from ATTKD Japan.

So, where are these rods manufactured ? What is the deal with them ?

As everyone knows, the RB is an expensive motor to build and I want quality parts.

I specifically want I-Beam Rods and my choice came down to either Manley Turbo Tuff Rods, which AMS in the United States uses on a daily basis in 1000+ HP 4G63's without concerns/problems......OR, these so-called ATTKD I-Beam Rods.

I just want to know the REAL deal with them.

Thanks to all who replied and again, thanks in advance for the replies yet to come.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
