Good afternoon all,

Recently picked up my crank that’s been in storage for a number of years now.

 

it’s been balanced, grub screwed & reground. By an unknown machine shop (I didn’t get the name from the last builder)

but not sure on the markings. 
221111

000000

 

Without assuming too much I’d say the top numbers are conrod bearing clearances 

and bottom numbers are mains? (Photo although poor quality shows markings)

I’ll know more once I check with micrometer & dial bore gauge against the block & conrods. 

 


any help be greatly appreciated.

 

Regards.

My understanding is those numbers relate to Nissan's range of super-fine specs of standard bearings size rather than just 'here's a STD size bearing". So unless using forementioned Nissan's superfine range of STD bearings, and instead using any aftermarket bearing where you just get STD, or much larger oversize/undersizes, the numbers don't mean much..especially after work has been done on it.

I tried matching the numbers VS the workshop manual during one build...too hard, too expensive, gave up.

Yeah just double checked a crank I have, that is the factory crank big end and main gradings. Details of the factory grades are on EN101 of the r32 manual.

They are of no relevance 30 years later of course

    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position. 
    • You talking about the ones in the photo above? I guess that could make sense. Fixed (but flexible) line from the point up above down to the hubcap thingo, with a rotating air seal thingo. Then fixed (but also still likely flexible) line from the "other side" of the transfer in the hub cap thingo up to the valve stem on the rim. A horrible cludge, but something that could be done. I'd bet on the Unimog version being fed through from the back, as part of the axle assembly, without the need for the vulnerable lines out to the sides. It's amazing what you can do when you have an idea that is not quite impossible. Nearly impossible, but not quite.
