Hang on, what we're talking about is a crankshaft for an inline 6, right?

By that logic, _those_ guys that have copied the relevant Nissan dimensions (e.g. rod-rod distance) should not be doing that; and Nissan should not be selling a 4-stroke motor with overhead cams, and ...

Far better to pool all that knowledge; get what works, and use that as a basis for future refinement. Kind of what we use the forums for. Stop people repeating the same mistakes.

R&D is about being first-to-market or improving on an existing design to make sales. I bet the very first <foo> crankshafts were simple copies of Nissan's cranks with some minor changes.

Then more technology from e.g. the racing world was imported. Did HKS invent the counter-balanced crank? No. How about knife-edging? Nup. Do some of their cranks have those features? You bet.

Have they got an advantage for being first- or best-to market? Yes. Should that advantage continue in perpetuity? Hell no.

If the design _can_ be patented (good luck doing that with a crankshaft unless it has some completely new feature) then the innovator gets some extra benefits other than actually being in the market.

Let's face it; there are only so many options for crank dimensions, design, and materials choice for the RB26. Most of those options would already have been explored.

A good crank will incorporate the good and leave out the bad. I say bring on more people making quality crankshafts.

Regards,

Saliya

I think it's more the chineese copyin, claiming it's a "HKS" yet it's made out of very low quality steel and is bent from the factory... That's the issue.

Nothing wrong with copying, so long as you're not claiming it is something it isn't, or trying to make it look like them.

the stock stroke crank will come in about the same as the above price, the 77.7mm will be dearer but not much.

Well this thread seems to just have faded away, 73.7mm full counter crank would spin up so fast and redline around 9500 - 10?

What became of this, has any one used a 73.7mm crank? 

Im looking for a Full counter normal stroke crank.

Have you seen this?

JUN Auto is about an hour from my house:)

TOMEI has had some internal conflicts resulting in a split between both founders, a subsequent business opened called Real Speed Engineering or RSE , oddly enough since both parties are were founders both parties share the patents LOL

I was looking at some of their cams a while back and was wondering where they popped up from. Ended up getting some custom Camtechs out of NSW made up instead to feed the EFR.

So has one partner started RSE and the other still running Tomei?

You should put a Jun 2.8 kit or the famous 2.7 seeing as how they are so close, they can do your block also and set it up perfect!

I'm about 5 hours drive away from you by the look of it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
