Ask and thou shalt receive.
Ok so seeing you are all slack b*stards, i've done all the hard work for you
In short, i've spoken to Brad and Spool Imports and he has given me solid pricing on the rods and tentative on the pistons.
ATM, it's in the formative stages. By that i mean, I am about to send him a rod and piston to get accurate measurements.
So to start a production run there needs to be a MINIMUM of 6 sets of rods &/or pistons, so 36 of each. This is not negotiable.
There will be no run unless we can pay for all 6 sets. Each set of rods will be $800 which includes ARP 2000 bolts.
Piston will be from CP and need a minimum of 6 sets. Tentative pricing which won't be firm until they receive the piston dimensions but ~$1590 includes rings, pins etc. That may go up or done a little depending.
I am yet to confirm if they'll make half millimetre sizes for those that no longer have OEM bores. Wait out on that one.
For those that don't know SPOOL, Brad has been in the import scence for many years, at least 9 that i know. I bought the gearbox that's in my Sil80 from him that long ago and the rods/piston combo for my RB26/30GTR late last year. Its very high quality stuff. Before you ask, no i'm not getting anything for doing this, just the love from you guys cause i've provided the vehicle for your modification dreams
His rods are in cars producing up to now 1400hp and there are now lots of engines in the 600-800 range....hopefully my GTR included
Here's his website for those that want to have a look around and see that this is no overnight site. You will see the huge number of engines he supports.

MODS, is there anyway to have a button to register either rods only or rods and pistons so i can gauge real interest. Now unless you have the money don't vote. I don't want to hear things like, i will in 8 months time. I want to know who is committed in the next month for a production run.
Unless there starts to be a number of people regularly modding the 6A13 then none of this will happen.
So, its over to you guys, who's willing to step up and have the most powerful 6A13TT in Australia??
