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?

    • All the best with it mate. Hopefully no dramas. I found quite a few issues when i pulled mine out eg fkt trans and engine mounts, throwout bearing, i had not been aware of, so 'any car maint' can be worthwhile it seems.
    • I think it's the alternator, there's some cracked shit going on with the rectifier. But so far, seems to be fine again? No sparks, no weird arcing when the leads went on. I ran this past a mate, he said he had similar issues before and his auto sparky replaced the alternator. All I know is, car works, car not on fire lol.
    • Brother-in-law's workshop. And I'll be doing. Family doesn't get priority over long running customer jobs. It wouldn't normally take so long to get to a task of mine, but there was a series of unfortunate events involving the dyno (blowing it up) that caused a serious backlog in the normal workload, that has toaken literally forever to get out from underneath. I can't do, or more to the point, choose not to do, jobs at home that require tools I don't have or would leave me without my daily if something goes wrong that thwarts me. Gearbox out on the floor with chassis stands is not palatable when I can use a hoist at the shop. But I've only had the box for a few weeks. It's the injectors and AFM that have been waiting on access to the dyno.
    • Thanks for mentioning it on the forums! Much appreciated Jen and I likely can't make it this weekend, but looking forward to see what you folks cook up in the future. Enjoy!
    • Welp, I have been driving it around (a bit) and messing with idle and return to idle characteristics. This is all well and good until I discovered my starter motor... is nearly dead. This is unfortunately after I booked my exhaust and tune in. This is the new section of my exhaust, after losing my mind with vbands and clamps. Yes I now have 4 mufflers. The two middle ones are 5in body 3in pipe round straight through mufflers or incorrectly named 'resonators' whatever you want to call. How does it sound? Muffled.   Car runs richer now in low load. Is it restriction? Or lack of exhaust leaks. I also figured out a way to make the Analog Readout match the serial WB Readout. All of this requires a car to you know.. *start* to tune the maths, which was not ideal when I needed it to get to the exhaust shop and back. It started when cold. 30 mins after the car got home, it was time to get stuck into it. Unfortunately this thing has no identifying marks on it at all. I contacted Mal Wood and asked if he could send me a replacement and he asked me to remove it because they've changed starters with their kits a few times over the years. I asked other companies with LH LS starter conversions and they all use different starters unique to their kits. I did find CAE performance supply Mal Wood - But they are out of stock for this starter for the next 3 weeks. The tune is booked for Friday 30th. Here's hoping the local starter motor repair place (which interestingly has a 5 star review from Trent @ Chequered) can get this rebuilt/sorted out so I can get it on and put the car on the dyno. Here's hoping!
