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.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
