Brand = Brian Crower which I have never heard of myself but I guess he has a name in the USA JDM scene.. Just want to here your thoughts and anyone know anyone with this setup, that price is $US so it will be a little more plus taxes getting it shipped over.

Im just thinking these may work incredibly with the -5 turbines and a well thought out setup! Give it even more low down torque than the 2738cc aka 2.8L

just had a look. it shows that you can also get those for RB25. 2.8 and 2.9 versions.. never knew the same stroker kit can be used for both 25 and 26 engines.. would be insane in a 26 with 272 cams and a HKS T04Z

yeh but when you actually place your order you have to specify what your ordering it for a RB25 or RB26 im guessing its because there are differences somewhere. dun know

I am really going to do serious homework here.. this could be something good :)

I think you should contact powertune australia (02) 9724 0606 as they are distributers for brian crowers and it could work out cheaper for you to get it through them. Warranty etc.

The high rev myth? Spoke to many who say the same thing, along the lines off > the 30's don't need to be revved as high as these, And yes you could rev it higher but it doesnt like it as much as the rb26/27/28.. & Wont last as long.. But this is only what I have been told by many people that seem to know what they are on about.. I just look and Nod :D Im still learning here

The 2.9 and -5's would be a brilliant combo. Just get the rest of the setup in order.

ay! Thats what I thought, Def going the Flex setup aswell.. I will have to do abit of research on these and maybe speak to some guys in the US JDM scene in regards to Brian crower.

This is one thing I want to get right as it will be my last build before I wrap her up, Exterior, underbody, Interior cabin. will be done along with it.. so it will be a 2 yr project

Maybe with different cams.. or a full hks head combo. have you seen the HKS r34 gtr with V-CAM from the best motoring series? 2.8 and a T04Z. Things a monster! i'm all for strokers and big singles!!

I'm all for strokers but a t04z and 272 cams sorry WRONG

272 cams are far to big in duration and a t04z!!! please.... there are stacks of turbos that will match the power with far better response or give shit loads more power and equal the response

Wouldn't go as far as saying "fan boy" but I am a fan of the mines gtr no doubt.

Judging by the "lag" in the vid, the hks r34 picks up from 4,000ish rpm. Wouldn't call that "laggy as shit" also wouldn't say that's lightening response

To4z was good in it's day but now is really outdated. I'd much prefer a new generation turbo. BorgWarner, HTA, Precision, GTX ect. Although the HKS to4z still looks cool and has a benefit of coming in a full bolt on kit.

Hasn't that myth died yet?

Of course not, sometimes it takes years... Just like the fanboy's don't realise the MINES car accelerated so fast due to the diff ratio changes - not the engine/turbo setup... Notice how I didn't say responsive? Twas a pig of a car off boost so much so it can't be compared to a street application :thumbsup:

Anyway with the BC Kits (which aren't new or anything like that) - just be mindful that they weigh in more than the jap kits from what I've heard when on the scales... ie the rods/cranks are heavier than say a HKS 2.8 kit. How much? I cannot say exactly but weight on rotating bits plays a reasonable part if you are spending that kind of money IMO - You want value for it.

So make sure you ask detailed questions rather than looking at price tags to make decisions.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
