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

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

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
