I see your RB32 and I raise you an RB34:

FACEPALM!

If only there was more than one RB34 thread on this forum...

Will be interesting to compare This kit to Nittos kit.

It would be very interesting to compare. Nitto's 3.2l kit costs a lot more than the spool 3.4 atm. Has anyone actually compared any of the spool products alongside the nitto items to compare quality and watnot?

yea thats what i was getting at... it probably comes from the same bread shop like 90% of the gear on the market

which means price war!

Apologies I thought you were unaware of the rb34 kit and had just noticed the rb32 kit.

Why would you choose the rb32 over the rb34? Cheaper? Rev higher?

I presume its cheaper. The longer the stroke the higher the piston speed at a given rpm so I guess the 32 is less stressed.

Well side by side won't tell you much other than the sizing/weight with things like rods etc.

Need to actually properly test it, install it, drive it etc.

Unfortunately there are little results around even after a bit of time :(

Totally understand where you're coming from but the cost of manufacturing a 91mm crank compared to a 94mm crank is so small it's not worth mentioning. I'd take a gamble and say the pricing will be the same as the 3.4 RRP. Any cheaper is ripping himself off, as long as it's cheaper than Nitto he shouldn't have a drama selling them

as r31nismoid said unless there is back to back comparission the only differences would be price,

i still am yet to personally see an rb34 spool kit, seen plenty of nitto r32 (probably as nitto is local in sydney and spool is qld i think)

though the customers have said they bought the 90mm stroke as they think the 95mm stroke would be an over stroke for their application,

which is along the lines of what r33_racer was saying, all depends on what the motor is going to be used for will depend on which crank is best

plus spool appear to use cp pistons

nitto use JE/SRP

(which the cp workers used to work at JE/SRP before starting their own company, so end of the day same piston quality)

in theroy the benifits/ differences i can notice other then the srokes;

nitto cranks have slight knife edging and the rods with big end oil squirters

spool cranks from what ive seen in pictures/ read are fully counter weighted aka gives the crank more throw (encourages it throw itself in the rotating directing)

I think it's more a case of there were a few NITTO strokers getting around early on. No doubt via reduced pricing for market penetration by a few places etc.

Yet the SPOOL RB34 results really haven't been seen anywhere or in at least volume of half a dozen type thing.

Understand the in-house goes first as you can't really sell something that's going to mince itself due to poor materials or something, but it's taking really long?

once again never seen a jun stroker crank, which after googling looks like a full counter weighted crank too (bout all i can tell)

seen a few normal 26 and N1 26 cranks, 2.8 HKS cranks, fair few nothing special rb30 cranks and nitto 3.2 cranks, would like to see more variety but all depends on our cutomers, plus once the machining is done most the time we rarely hear of any results

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
