More people than Nitto make cranks.

94mm cranks are produced already, couple that with a potential 90mm bore and its 3588cc.

Might need a drop down menu for the 20 k gearbox you'll need to handle the twist of something like that...

90mm x 88mm bore = 3285cc.

I'd have liked to have seen a billet alloy cylinder block that used Nikasil plated cylinders, instead of a iron cylinder. Basically what Porsche did with 928 engine. It would have made it a far more streetable engine, and would have allowed them to stretch the bore to 90mm as well. There are companies in Australia doing Nikasil re-plating for some motorbike cylinders, so it would have been possible to do without going over-seas.

Based on their posted R&D photo's on their facebook page, I think this is targeted more to the methanol burning 1500+hp drag racing croud.

I agree with the drag racing thing. I'd assume replacing sleeves or buying block without sleeves could be done down the track

Anyone can bore a liner, not everyone can relplate a bore. It's a question of practicality.

Would be a similar situation as with Honda S2000 bores, once worn people turn to liners, not many workshops in Aus can bore the factory cylinders and finsh them (polished) correctly as the OEM finish.

Even so with all the mucking around to fit liners, S2000 owners dont flinch to go liners and bore as needed once the factory bores are toast.

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
