No, they’re front cover bolts. Mine are rusted and as these were so cheap I tagged them onto the order at the end.

Re: JDM Nissan Bluebird Coupe (ex JCCA Race Car)

2024! 10 years in, so much life has been lived this past decade. I'm bumping this to keep myself accountable. This year I will drive it again, and further than the 1 mile I did last in 2022. There are holdups currently and as usual, the bodyshop were slowing it down. I'm close to taking it elsewhere...

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?

They're for another project, not mine. The shop does a lot of custom cranks for one off restorations of rare, vintage cars or bespoke race cranks. And now people like me who wondered how hard would it be.

For those following along, I can't wait to get my engine rebuilt now.

I have been told drilling needs to be done before the nitriding, as it can't be drilled after. But can be easily drawn in cad for 5 or 6 bolt.

Re: Fully counterweighted crank?

Nice. Curious to find out the final cost, and if you have any plan to do more than one. Almost embarrassed to say :oops: one of those projects where the cost run away. But, as with these things, most of the money is in making the first, the others will just be a case of loading the material and pre...

Re: JDM Nissan Bluebird Coupe (ex JCCA Race Car)

I finally concluded my research and found a machine shop who seemed to know what they were doing and seemed trust worthy so a few weeks back I dropped off what was my engine for some diagnostics.
