Hi Guys

Im currently looking into having a billet steel crank made to suit the RB30 since i am aiming at pushing the RB30 to its limit and also rev it to around 9,000rpm. I know some have done it with a standard crank but they havent lasted and i want to be able to rev it to 9,000rpm without having to cross my fingers im going to snap a crank.

So if anyone know who makes them or who i should speak to that would be greatly appreciated. Im also looking at having a billet crank girdle made to suit

Your probably going to get a few people asking "is this for street or strip?" and "Whats wrong with the std one?"

That said OS Giken do a 3L kit. Cant u buy their crank/girdle?

Nizpro also used to do the same job i heard, but dunno if they still do it.

U must have $$ to spend to build a motor like that man :( Hope its not for the street cos it wont last long

Well i already know all that stuff and Nizpro arent really that good to deal with if they arent building your engine, the money is being spent and i dont understand people saying if it a street engine it wont last thats the good thing about turbo charged EFI engines they can be detuned for the street i only want an engine that will last on the track which puts alot more strain on an engine than the street does.

Can i ask what ur budget.....um limit is for spending money on this engine?

and i dont understand people saying if it a street engine it wont last thats the good thing about turbo charged EFI engines they can be detuned for the street

Then whats the point in spending 1500 on forgies, 2-3k on forged rods, 3k on a crank girdle etc etc.... then have it detuned to run on the street??

Mate. My aim is to biuld a low 9sec car that will last more than a couple of runs and i also want it to run without NOS. I also want to drive it on the street and to Dyno comps where i see fit because unlike all these trailer ponies i want to prove that it can be done.

Bl4cK32: To give you an idea i am using a twin 3037R kit or 3240 kit depends what i can find, should tell you how much power i want to make

and why the are you trying to prove you could build a car like Kier's, its already been done?  nothing new

Whats it matter if its been done before??? Doesnt mean other ppl cant equally enjoy it :D

Though, id be just as happy with a high 11second GTR and a healthy bank balance, but im a poor sack so that weighs heavily on my thinking. :)

Steve: The only bloke being a dick is you im asking for some info on crank builders and all the know it alls come out and tell you it cant be done, besides who says im trying to build a car like kiers for you information this will be alot different only the time will be similar

Roy: Cheers mate, i think people that cant dont want those that can to do it, makes them feel kind of insignificant

Umm - u did. + u said u wanted to drive it on the street, and race it on a track.

No need to take offence there mate, were just stating it takes big $$ for the engine u speak of.

Why dont u ask Sydneykid if he takes his 25K rb31 engine down to the track, stip, + drive it on the street to the local Maccas.

I will next time i speak to him, anyway guys thanks for your info. Ive spoken to Nizpro and they said they will make me the Crank and girdle all up fitted and machined around $9000 if anyone else wants to do the same and they rate the rpm for 8800 which equates to a 25m/sec piston speed.

Er, yeah, if you re- read my post, you will notice that i said "I" dont believe it can be done, I also said, do prove me wrong, because I would love to see it, I also said 'good luck'.

You also mentioned that people are saying 'it cant be done', well hey I didnt say that, and, if as you pointed out Kier is already doing it, why even bring up that it cant be done.

Bottom line, I didnt say you were trying to build a car like Keirs, you mentioned his car, I didnt say you couldnt do it, I said 'I dont believe its possible', you are the only one here who is saying 'it cant be done'

So really, who is the dick? perhaps you should read peoples posts before you go jumping off the deep end? you remind me of a spoilt child.

if you cant handle someone elses opinion, or allow someone else to have an opinion, WTF are you doing on a public forum.

Roy, as what Bl4cK32 said

I took the statement that 'unlike all these trailer ponies I want to prove it can be done' and the I want to drive it on the street' to mean he wasnt talking about a car like Keirs, as there is nothing to prove there, it has been done.

Not saying there is anything wrong with Kiers car, but really, its not what most would call 'streetable' more like , 'its driven on the street' - world of difference

Steve: Are you saying there is no such thing as RH9 cars

Just to be cheeky... 'THE RH9' car never even got to 9 did it?

:) oh well.

But yeah, why couldnt you drive it to macca, like seriuously.

are these race motors not allowed to be driven or something?

Me dont follow :aroused:

R31 Nismoid

Huge cams, huge injectors, little power at bottom end, high stall converters/dog boxes - all make for a not so friendly road car, slug down low, and when they come on song, go nuts.

And very, very, very unlikely you could get it street legal, unless you live in queensland

    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
    • Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
