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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
