Rb34 On Sale

[tridentt150v]

Hmmm... $5200 for 3.4Ls...

Or $1500 for 5.7Ls... I know which I'd prefer...

But then its not a Skyline, and I want my Skyline to be a Skyline. That is all your aircon and alternator and dash wires etc etc etc all plug in and line up. I've had engine conversion cars before and while the 'other' motors performance was better, it was a PITA when you went to o anything like turn your headlights on or believe the speedo and dash or use the aircon and even stuff like lining the gearbox and rear diff up so that you didn't chew out bearings and seals - its never that simple. I'm way over ever doing that again.

However using the 3.4 you don't have any of those issues because its the same motor by the parent company but uprated. Everything fits, the engine mounts, the clutch, gearbox, wiring, you name it, it fits. And the cost may be a bit more [but not that much more than a normal RB25/30 with forgies etc] to start with, but you will get that back and then some in reliability and not having to mod or 'bend' other parts to suit.

Of cause others will disagree, but it works for me.

couldn't agree with you anymore - gtr (or gtst) needs to run an rb

Ive been very interested in this once i saw it, but when i went on youtube, there is only a movie of the motor starting and idling.

does anyone have a link to an actual running motor?

no, not in the slightest im afraid..

kinda sucks huh that this thread is a little old now. I would think that SPOOL would at least sponsor some peoples cars to test the new kit so they have an idea of the pros and cons: as a nice street motor with -5's would be my favourite even with a 7500rpm rev limiter.

Testing on tracks at constant high RPM and even some dyno queens with 1000+ hp

Many members with an rb26 are rebuilding ATM, maybe some of them can contact spool and ask to be a test/promo vehicle.

[045HOW]

lol was that a troll remark about the insurance company "shannons" i was referencing to the film festival episode of southpark.

but seriously it is kinda gay nothing has been done yet, like sponsored cars or any other builds. atleast they should show a video of the car actually driving!

[r33_racer]

My old man may be buying one in the near future, but it will be a year or so before it gets run lol.

[turboedsloth]

Someone could buy the car that the engines in. Advertised on his site for sale isnt it?

[Marko R1]

sorry i misunderstood - i thought you were quoting his bottom end kit @ 25k

[045HOW]

Word on the street is that the demo car was sold about 2 weeks ago. hopefully the new owner does some further tests and does some filming

[r33_racer]

Yeh it got sold! He has also sold out of all his new stroker kits too! Gotta wait for a while now.

[KiwiRS4T]

OK who's bought all these stroker kits? Any road or track test or dyno results as yet (keen to hear about the driving experience as well as dyno numbers).

[BMYHOE]

not sure who has the spool kits...

but ive seen 2 RB30 nitto stroker kits being built at the moment...

looks to be some big setups coming out soon

[r33_racer]

Currently have our rb34 underway atm. Hopefully have it back next week ready for assembly. Wont be until early next year when its ready to run though.

I must say the quality of the kit is astounding. The crankshaft looks mint.
