Got the crank. Brad from Spool was kind enough to send down the older style semi-counter crank to clearance the block with while his stock of full-counter new models arrive. What a gentleman.

That video isn't from Spool....

I'm talking about the original RB34 Video of the 4 door 33 on first startup.

The one that got spammed by nut swingers? I can imagine why it was taken down!

Care not for whether it was spammed, it was a good little video for the first startup of the first RB34 and if you listened closely it had a nice lumpy chug to its note.

Just pisses me off when people just up and delete video from Youtube (For instance the only available video of an S13 with 1GZ-FE being drifted by Ken Nomura. Good thing is think i downloaded it on my old iphone before it was deleted.).

You must never have had something you've done publicly shit on. I'm willing to bet that your mild inconvenience could be rectified by contacting spool directly. He'd probably email the vid to you.

+1 to that.

I've talked to a few people in the automotive industry that have developed products and sell them on a large scale. Most of them have as little as possible to do with the forums, or any kind of public media for this very reason.

The internet gives every "nut swinging" idiot with an opinion a voice, regardless of how low their IQ is.

Also, in many cases its the people that aren't complete idiots that can do a lot of damage to the image of a product. For example the percived "coolness" of someone's public efforts add merit to their voice, and further fueling the ramblings of the nut swingers. There are plenty of examples of this on SAU alone.

Spool seem to have very wisely taken a step back and chosen to not get involved in the BS. And some great results have now surfaced with little to no apparent effort on Spools behalf. Any doubts can now finally be put to rest.

Congratulations Spool!

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
