R33 and R34 cranks have the longer collar to run the oil pump as the R32 cranks had a thin one that can cause the pump to fail. You can add the collar to them.

I don't think there is any strength differences, if there are it's minor.

They can all be used in any RB26.

New from Nissan here, the last one was around $2500-$3000 ( I don't recallexactly how much we paid now ..) They are R34 GTR cranks, ex Japan. Got it in 1 week.

Second hand cranks go from $100-$1500. Quite often when bearings run the crank goes beyond tolerances.. and is no good unless you use different bearings, which is a bad idea.

A good second hand one with no wear would be worth over $1000.

The main thing to look for is worn thrusts and cracks.

Thanks, Is it fair to say that a used crank evenwith new larger sized bearings (after the crank is ground) will never be the same? Sorry to be such a newbie here but is it possible the re-ground crank & new bearings is more likely to fail as opposed to a new crank with new bearings? or are we just talking lady luck here?! :Paranoid:

Say you go for the r34 crank, what con-rod bearings would you recomend? (say 550whp) also do the rod bolts? Again type to go for?

No cash for steel.... so have to make do with stock'ish setup.

What will the stock crank hold? if held down, good oil supply?

Sorry.. question city here!

$2500-3000 for a new crank????Try $1000....have a read of this....it might be some use to you  http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=51675

LOL... read that post.... jeeeeeezus, have you completed the engine yet? How'd it go ? Any pics of the completed crank? now THATS what I'm talking about!! :uh-huh:

Fark me Troy, is there anything you can't do? Honestly, that's bloody amazing. So much for "jack of all trade, master of none" :P

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
