Ok, here's some clarification;

The top one is a GT crank (Not to be confused with N1), runs a 77.7mm stroke (eg 2.8L), as you can see its a serious bit of gear.

The bottom is a standard GTR crank, 73.7mm stroke, used in all GTR road cars that are 2.6L (so all normal GTR's, V Specs, V Spec2's, NUR and N1's). Eventhough that particular one is being sold as N1 (and a lot of shops do the same thing here, maybe it boosts sales?!) its just a stock GTR crank. Part number from FAST for an N1 engine lists it as 12200-05U03, part number for a stock standard RB26 in FAST also shows the exact same crank as 12200-05U03.

FYI the majority (if not all) N1 parts have "24U" in the code in place of "05U". Lastly, the GT crank is from Nismo not Nissan.

Good luck with the build.

Fair yank of the crank!

A stock crank might be able to handle a fair bit of power but it's like rolling the dice when you push it above and beyond what it was intended to do, some might hold together some might fall apart.

Thanks for the clarification. I was aware that the GT crank was stroked but I had assumed that it was created for more than adding .2L and thought perhaps there was some weakness but from what I've heard back that's not the case so thanks. I did think the N1 was different from a regular GTR crank, very sneaky of them to market it that way.

I would if there was a replacement 25 crank or if it was clear the stock one has no chance, it's not that I'm cheapening out or anything but i'd like to see what can be had out of an RB25 as I see alot of people here(where both have to be imported) ditch their RB25's and pay sometimes several thousands more for a 26 when IMO that money could have been better spent building the 25 and making it stronger than a stock 26.

Jesus, hope theres some sort of build thread for this motor. Sounds like its going to be a monster.

Yes there is http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/155003-drag-rb25-s13.html

Does that GT crank have anything to do with Reimax crank, p/n 12200-RRR4A? Reimax one also has 77.7mm stroke

Z-Tune uses a GT500 block, aswell as the GT Crank, rods and pistons.

So yes, it is.

Also, isnt Godzilla's (Mark) R32 GTR running a standard crank?

Not sure as I don't know who that is. Googled Godzilla r32 GTR but as you can imagine that brought up alot of unrelated results.

Really? Just the one crank? Well I must be mistaken then but I was basing my info off of nissans own info. On this page they show two cranks:

http://www.nissanparts.cc/catalog/?section=958#3232

Oh and it was one car that made 1350hp and another that revved to 11,000 not both. Although I didn't ask what the one that made 1350hp revved to. Do all the engines he makes stay in your state? Otherwise I can't see where being geographically close to him would help you know all the engines he's made.

I'm sorry but 'nissan's own info' my hairy butt. that is an american re-seller website flogging nissan parts. not a nissan website offering information on parts. big difference. they are also selling N1 rods, maybe buy some to go with the N1 crank. :) I'm sorry but given their limited dealings with RBs in general I wouldn't trust them to tell me the difference between an RB25 crank and an RB26 crank. There are people here who would have personally owned more GTRs than all those in north america put together.

no you're right not all engines paul 'builds' stay in NSW but i still think most people would have heard of the 1350hp engine or this almost motorbike like 11,000rpm engine he built... honestly I'm more impressed that there's 2 now and I am genuinely interested to see them that's all. I love a big power RB as much as the next bloke. I'd love to see some vids of one running at 11,000rpm.

oh and yes I would think godzilla and RIPS would have to be the 2 guys taking standard cranks the furthest in these parts. they have each done 1000hp+ but of course they are not just bought off the shelf and dropped in, they are prepared/balanced to suit.

Is that froth from your mouth Baron? :P

In all seriousness though, you list a Trust brand oil cooler..... looking through your pics quickly, I have grave doubts that what you have there is in fact a Trust..... It looks to me more likely that someone has been making some Trust badges.

Mate, that oil cooler is about as China as I've seen.

FWIW, i was kind of involved with one of the quicker GTR drag cars here several years ago when 9's were fast, and it used a std crank.

At one point we returned 3 brand new cranks to Nissan's parts department because we crack tested them all prior to installing them. Each one of those brand new factory cranks had a flaw or crack. Not a problem at 500hp, but certain to be a serious issue over 1,000.

that block looks like it's seen some weather..........

Question... Pretty sure i already know the answer

http://www.junauto.co.jp/products/crankshaft/index.html?en

Is that the stock stroke crank or the same as they use in the 2.7lt stroker?

LOL no the one pictured is not the Trust oil cooler thats an Earl's cooler that I had bought originally to use with the dry sump setup but then I needed a trans cooler as well so I decided to use the Earls for that and get the larger capacity Trust one for the engine. I've never seen another one but I bought it from a reputable company here, perhaps this one is a Trust one?Although the Trust ones are probably made in china too! Here's some pictures so that you may help verify its authenticity:

Much more authentic ;) lol

Although, I will say, for this level of build I would personally opt for a PWR radiator with built in engine oil cooler. It's much neater to plumb, weighs less, cools FAR more efficiently, warms the oil better, and is neater and easier to work around. Did I mention it's better?

    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
