How wide are your rims? I have 8.5inch and my rims are the same How many passes have you done on them??

Luke, Can you adjust the fuel pressure with this one. I want it for my modified RB25. producing ~550hp Thanks Simon

Look in the naturally apsirated section, its' there. Ive turbo'd a RB25DE, and depending on what you want to do may work out cheaper, mine did, but I went down a different path to most. Search the NA section to ge the details

Have the front seats gone?

Hi Roy, Sorry must have been pissed, didn't see your rod question. I've seen 2 types of rods in the RB25 engines. One is very average( in the DE) and the other is isn't too bad(probably not worth risking above ~ 350rwhp). Rb 26 rods will go on the 25 crank- i have them on mine. As an extra precaution I shotpeened and linished just to be safe- cause i could

Hi Roy, the DE engines have the same valve actuation as the 25DEt/20DET range series

Hi Skylinegeoff! Living in Perth now for 3 weeks. New engine should have it's first tune hopefully in around 2 weeks. Been drama's with the Autronic. Will send you as pm with a few photo's. Car still in Brisbane I used rods that were identicle to GTR rods which i shotpeen and linished and balanced. Did that cause they cost me nothing, also wanted to make absolutely sure that I wouldn't have an internal failure. ( of course that also comes down to tuning) I used SR20 ARP rod bolts as they are a straight fit. I also sued Japanese racing bearings throughout- forgotten brand name A mate who has a tuning shop on bris northside is entering it in horsepower shootout at Brisbane Autosalon in August. Not expecting anything huge but should come in at a little over 400rwhp. Will just have to make sure that I can get the thing run-in before its final tune before Autosalon. Bit difficult to drive it when I'm in Perth! How's your car??

Matt, Depends on what your are trying to achieve with the car/engine. If you have decided on forged pistons, then really you are running more boost than stock and have decided to give yourself some more headroom with detonation. If that's not the case, why are you buying them? Forged pistons will add nothing to the performance of the engine by themselves. IMO at the very least I"d find a good set of RB25 rods- shotpeen linish and balance them( as I have), or just go for a set of ibeams. The latter is more expensive obviously.

I paid $1200. I had them machined to achieve 8.5:1 as I'm running 1.5 bar. IMO they are virtually identical to JE and just as good a quality. Again, my friend that builds a lot of tough engines was very happy with the build quality and they are a little cheaper than JE.

Joel, No, an engine builder I know gave me the heads up, so I changed them during a full rebuild. Complete engine cost me $1200 Will get you some pictures of the ports tonight. How do I post them? I used Arias forged which I machined down to for a compressionh of 8.5:1. Also there are 2 different sets of rods in the RB25. One set has a little lump onm one side close to the crank- these are the weeker set, and another that look a lot stronger in build- similar to GTR rods. I shotpeend linshed and balanced them. Alomost as good as i beams but cheaper and just as good for the hp and 1.5 bar boost

Hi guys, I can shed a little light on this subject.... I bought a RB25DE and have turbo charged it. Yes the standard valve springs of the DE motor are not as strong as the DET- i replaced mine with Tomei items. Internally, only the pistons and rods are different- i replaced with forged items. I wouldn't want to run much boost with the standard set up, it doesn't inspire confidence after you've seen it. Crank is the same. There are different 2 inlet/exhaust port designs. Seen some DET models with both- quite a difference between the two in size- mine has the larger ports, which I've lightly ported as well. I must also add that I've done quite a bit of work mine, built to support 550hp all day. Hope that helps

Hope you pulled the kid that demolished your letterbox aside and had a "quiet word in his ear" i.e tore him a new ****hole and also gave him a new perspective on life and how his would end if he kept that childish immature shit up???? Although i must admit I'm a little older than most on this forum, and don't move in the same circles as others. I buy and enjoy HPI and Zoom and I must admit I'm also not influenced in anyway about drift or drag, i just enjoy my car.

Give Prank a PM. I got my TE37's from him and are brand new.

I have Copper o-rings in my RB25. Will run 1.5 bar The guy that built my engine has been building Nissan and Toyota racing engines for about 30 years. He does this religiously on his turbo cars, in fact he has run 35psi on one of his race engines without failures. I guess you'll get answers that vary depending on what people have experience with. Metal or copper have the same purpose, provide a stronger headgasket thaht won't fail under higher boost. It would be interesting to hear Sydnekid's response?

Nice work Steve, very frustrating seeing you and the guys getting great results while mine sits idle!! Mine(also a HKS 3037S won't be ready until mid-May now

Hi Batman, Yes, I know it's says Brisbane under my name, but I'll be a Perth local around June. My work has brought me over and I'm looking forward to it, oh and I'm 32 So, I'm interested in what car clubs are active in Perth, where do you guys drift(I mean legally) and how often to tracks days(short sprints motorkhana'setc ) come around?? Look forward to meeting you guys s

I'm from QLD but will be moving to Perth mid June. I have a set of RB74's on my car. Absolutley brilliant, very little dust, and very good bite from cold. Haven't had any problem from repeqted stops yet, no squealfrom mine. So far seems to be ok on rotors too, guess I'll see in a few months.

Thanks for the reply Sydneykid, maybe i'm a little naive but i thought tuners would spend more time tuning at partial openings as like you say, WOT is only one position.
