32 GTR owner Paul... (heavy stirring/sarcasm).

Be interesting to see how a Racepace GTR goes @ Wakefield in Nov against interstate GTR's, the proof of the pudding might well be in the eating perhaps? :merli:

Yea but knowing race pace, you mite as well buy a jap kit, because it will most Likly be cheaper than the gold plated parts u get from race pace

I do believe the point of developing their own is substancially lower the cost compared to say a full HKS kit, which we can all agree is quite exxy :thumbsup:

That's a bit low Deano.

Atleast they work... IE the exhausts unlike the junk you get off the shelf from Japan. :P.

Yea true, but they super expensive dude, $5600 I got quoted for a mild steel 4inch system, plus postage.

That's a lot of cash for a exhaust man.

Thats not a lot of cash that is a joke.

Nothing special about a stroker kit, especially a 2.8... an extra 200cc is exactly that no secrets although it is nice to claim there is so you can claim a premium price!

To the OP, if you were serious I would get in touch with GTRNUR, what he has done with his RB26/30 I believe to be one of the best ways to go.

Yeah how dare HKS charge such an exorbitant amount for a 2.8l kit when its 200cc

:blink:

well, for spool to supply me a stroker kit, and a FULL gasket kit with a tomei HG, oil restrictor and billet oil pump gears it was under 6k delivered to my door. I dunno if i got lucky or i was just charged the normal price, but in my books, thats a pretty sweet deal.

Blah Blah Blah Blah :)

Nothing like pre-event shit talking :D

A billet fully counterweight crank is $3-4k (regardless of stroke).. plus rods, plus pistons.

Made where though?

In Asia where HKS have their cranks made... I do believe it's not that high.

Good question... have you been there to know the answer? Or do they still use Farndon in the UK to make crankshafts.

Farndon make cranks (and other engine components) for a few Jap co's, such as HKS, JUN and A'Pex'i. I am sure that they still make them for HKS - Step 3 billet cranks; The forged Step 0 to Step 2 aren't made by Farndon. But who knows....could be made in Taiwan or China these days :D

That seams like a pritty sweet deal

Indeed! From what I can gather, HKS RB stroker cranks have been coming out of Asia for quite a while ;)

Whether that's all of the line up, or just some, remains to be seen.

Pretty sure others have said similar before so sounds resonable, although only 2.7 - wish for same $$ there was a 2.8/2.9 - would be even better value.

Means the cranks aren't costing anywhere near 4k either way when you can get that price delivered. Even 3k you'd argue! :)

What u mean? The spool kits are 2.8 as far as I no

A lot of them advertise 90 mm or whatever but fail to say the smallest point in the muffler is 2.5 inch.

depends on the exhaust right? I got a mate with a HKS Hi-Power and I'm sure it's the same size all through.

    • Great interview on damper settings and coil selection by HPA https://www.facebook.com/HPAcademy/videos/30284693841175196/?fs=e&s=TIeQ9V&fs=e
    • Yeah, it was a pretty deep dig.
    • The values for HID colour are also defined ~ see https://www.legislation.gov.au/F2006L02732/latest/text  ~ goto section 3.9 onwards ....
    • So, if the headlights' cutoff behaviour (angles, heights, etc) are not as per 6.2.6.1.1 without automatic levelling, then you have to have to have automatic** levelling. Also, if the headlight does not have the required markings, then neither automatic nor manual adjusters are going to be acceptable. That's because the base headlight itself does not meet the minimum requirement (which is the marking). ** with the option of manual levelling, if the headlight otherwise meets the same requirements as for the automatic case AND can be set to the "base" alignment at the headlight itself. So that's an additional requirement for the manual case. So, provided that the marking is on the headlight and there is a local manual adjustment back to "base" on the headlight, then yes, you could argue that they are code compliant. But if you are missing any single one of these things, then they are not. And unlike certain other standards that I work with, there does not seem to be scope to prepare a "fitness for purpose" report. Well, I guess there actually is. You might engage an automotive engineer to write a report stating that the lights meet the performance requirements of the standard even if they are missing, for example, the markings.  
    • Vertical orientation   6.2.6.1.1. The initial downward inclination of the cut off of the dipped-beam to be set in the unladen vehicle state with one person in the driver's seat shall be specified within an accuracy of 0.1 per cent by the manufacturer and indicated in a clearly legible and indelible manner on each vehicle close to either headlamp or the manufacturer's plate by the symbol shown in Annex 7.   The value of this indicated downward inclination shall be defined in accordance with paragraph 6.2.6.1.2.   6.2.6.1.2. Depending on the mounting height in metres (h) of the lower edge of the apparent surface in the direction of the reference axis of the dipped beam headlamp, measured on the unladen vehicles, the vertical inclination of the cut off of the dipped- beam shall, under all the static conditions of Annex 5, remain between the following limits and the initial aiming shall have the following values:   h < 0.8   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   0.8 < h < 1.0   Limits: between 0.5 per cent and 2.5 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.0 per cent and 1.5 per cent   Or, at the discretion of the manufacturer,   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The application for the vehicle type approval shall, in this case, contain information as to which of the two alternatives is to be used.   h > 1.0   Limits: between 1.0 per cent and 3.0 per cent   Initial aiming: between 1.5 per cent and 2.0 per cent   The above limits and the initial aiming values are summarized in the diagram below.   For category N3G (off-road) vehicles where the headlamps exceed a height of 1,200 mm, the limits for the vertical inclination of the cut-off shall be between: -1.5 per cent and -3.5 per cent.   The initial aim shall be set between: -2 per cent and -2.5 per cent.
