Hi peps,

I have seen the tomei 2.8 stroker kit and was pretty impressed with bigger capacity yet it has a shorter stroke than std, which in my limited experience would equal more torque with less strain on bearings?

There is a few different piston sizes available in both a normal and "cooling channel" varient... i have no clue what the "ccoling channel" is what it offers and if its a benefit or not?

any input is appreciated

cheers

yeah thats how they add the extra capacity....more stroke

Hey Trav,

Getting another GTR... thats a ellenbrook secret mate!!! :)

My bad before... obviously there is more stroke to produce bigger capacity and therefore more torque... i ment the rods are shorter than std and therefore less strain on bearings... i have heard that the longer the rods the higher the load on the bearings, so a stroker kit with shorter rods kind of gives the best of both worlds???

anyway... if anyone knows about the cooling channel i would like to know for my secret!!!

Hot one out in ellenbrook tonight eh? seabreeze howling in woodvale :)

Mums the word lol

hmmm i would have thought from a physics point of view that the load on the bearings would be irrelevant since the force is parallel to the rod. Its not like the force is a shearing type

rotating force is ment to increase by the square of the RPM or something like that... so even a small increase in rod length might not seem much at low RPM, but rev her up to 8000 RPM and you can have a whole load of extra rotational force being laid out onto the bearings.

so yeah... to keep on track of this thread... cooling channel anyone... what is it, is it better, whats the advantage??? :)

cooling channel aids cooling of the top of the piston crown by some say 40 deg c around about n e way. i was led to believe that there slightly smaller pistons than the typical JE or the likes forge ones on the market today and longer stroke?? confirm?

They only use shorter rods because they have to to fit it all in a stock block. Stock GTR rod/stroke ratio is below optimum, as the rod is on a larger angle to the cylinder, especially when it is a right angle to the crank(where it produces max torque)this results in higher frictional losses. It does have the side effect of reducing detonation, but increases piston accelleration around TDC and BDC

Cooling channel is just a channel that runs under the piston crown that is in line with the oil squirter so some of the oil that squirts under the piston runs thru the channel and helps cool. This is old diesel tech. The 26 has a less than ideal rod/stroke ratio standard and making it shorter speeds up the piston thru the top even more making the combustion process even faster and can lower the peak hp/rpm although the extra stroke would increase hp. The shorter rods can also slow the piston thru the area of max valve lift again reducing the ability to make hp. The rb26 does a lot of things wrong in theory but still seems to make plenty of hp and loves to rev but i would like to see how a 26 crank in a giken/30 long block would go with some long conrods.

      Hr34 fuel pump not turning on

      If you get 12v at one of the relay pins with IGN on, and 12v at another for about 3 sec when you turn the key from ACC to start, then yes you can just earth the relay trigger pin. Just have a look at the top of the relay, it should tell you which pin needs earth when the 12v signal is sent (or if it's not clear, just post the pic and we can work it out). If you always have 12v at 2 pins with IGN on, they it is earth triggered by the ECU which makes it harder to fix (you really need to check the ECU pin is earthing when it should, and if so it is a wiring issue from there to the relay.

      Tomei make a 1.5mm restrictor, I'd just use that.

      Requirements for Xenon Headlights? (Possible Solution)

      By rahilp · Posted

      Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
