Have a look at what I wrote.

I wasn't going to sit there all night finding the cheapest price around. It all comes down to what product you use. Some may want Argo rods, another guy might use HKS. I'm not going to sit there and price up 20 different combo's.

What I was trying to say was at the end of the day it's not $7000 worth of difference, even if it was, I still wouldn't use a stock throw crank.

For what it's worth, a 2.8 is still too small.

Ahh ok fair enough,

you just decided to throw in the cheapest stroker kit you could see and inflate the prices of rebuilding a standard. To throw the results. Point made.

Lol at 2.8 even being to small.

Apparently street use means nothing. ONLY TRACK!

Lets get onto the non mentioned side of things... Wear and tear...

technically the Stroker kits won't last as long as a standard 2.6......plus the additional wear on other components.

in saying that #gtrlife they will destroy themselves anyway.

By the time you get that little bit more wear on the thrust side of a bore from extra stroke it would have either already blown up or require something else done anyway.

The argument of stroker wear is invalid in my opinion

Anfanee. What's wrong with the Tomei kit? It's been in my car for a decade. Price up a nitto, BC, HKS. Choose whatever!

You could go and get the Tomei 2.6 full counter crank for $9k a unit?

Just saw a full 26 bottom end on eBay for $400 and a long nose crank for $90 wonder what capacity Freddy used, he did alright didn't he?

I didn't say anything was wrong with the kit at all dude. I'm sure the kit is fantastic, i'm a huge fan of tomei stuff.

Nah for that price i'd get the nitto crank for $4600 a unit lololololol

I was just commenting that there is a little more than a 1k difference, and just trying to show the other side of the story.

But i do know where you are coming from, if you include a crank, there is not a huge difference overall.

looking at my receipts from my rebuild....The difference was pretty decent. Though i didn't need a crank.

Also in saying that Nengun have the HKS step zero for under 4k... holy shit! My difference is still over 2k.

But for that price, get the HKS step zero. 100%

@ Hadouken:

Why not? Oh yeah because its a 26 rather than a thrashed out rb30 that needs a rebuild.. :huh:

Nah I'm still standard 26 here and have no bias.

It's just a $400 block with probably a crack in it and a $90 crank that needs machining anyway if it is in good nick.

Yeah I know mate. I am just saying in general the contradictions that exist. Someone buys a thrashed out 30 and builds a forged 26/30 and they are legends, but someone else does the same on 26 and they are tight arses..... Makes me laugh.

engine parts are only ever as good as the workshop that screws it together.

I've seen first hand massive dollar equipment hand grenade on first run/dyno pull and on the other hand I have witnessed bone stock unopened motor's that had "claimed" to be built go on to produce over 400wkws for years.

"I BELIEVE THE MAGIC IS IN THE ASSEMBLY "

Proably shouldnt tell you i plan on building this myself then

I don't doubt the displacement argument but my engine is 2629cc at 87x73.7mm.. If I was going all out with a new N1 bock and stroker is 2738cc at 86

5x77.7mm thats 109cc difference for 7+ grand extra, you'd be nuts to take a virgin block straight to 87mm (assuming for a 2.6 refesh my crank and rods are fine, just new pistons) I would have though improving your VE% by 3 or 4 percent on the 87mm 2.6 with good head work would yeild similar results? If you're going all out, sure do both. But on an assembled 2.6 engine you'd see similar gains with just doing the head work. If I wanted solid grunt I'd be looking at over 3L for sure.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
