    and shortblock now assembled and complete. If it blows up within a month of being fitted I will be sure to let y'all know otherwise will just be one of the 100's of thousands that have used these rods and been happy with them so you never hear from them. I ran into an old cars associate the other week and told him about using these rods in the build; he rolled his eyes and said 'really??" ...so asked him, have you ever seen a set in person..." well, no"....ever known anyone who's actually used them, and had an issue? " well not me personally" ….ok well, great chatting, I'll take my own experience and my engine machinist's input over yours, thanks very much. So bottom line is, the money I saved on these over spool or scat, eagle branded rods went to other parts of the build, and I'm happy with that choice. Oh and I will soon have a rebuilt rb25det bottom end for sale too lol, 12 months old, OEM bearings/rings, ARP rod bolts.. HMU if interested . Now for selecting a new 650-700hp turbo....

    finally got some time this weekend to get some more work done> crank and girdle now installed, and pistons with rings, ready to go and underway

    just putting it oot there...you can also just buy an AN4 stainless end and cut to a suitable length, get rid of the excess. Tao just prob does it that way to avoid emails of ' the line supplied is too short!" so makes it plenty long.

    a multimeter is like, 15 bucks? or less off ebay. Less than the sensor anyway. Have you checked the coolant? maybe the refill was fkd up and the car is actually running too hot.

    Red way. Not going between turbo/exh manifold.
  7. hardsteppa
    Have you tried a new thermostat?

    I "think" its m6x1 but dont take my word for it.
  11. hardsteppa
    Ask KRS-One.
  12. hardsteppa
    Yeah but a modern hypergear hiflow is a grand brand new and will make 280rwkw on p98, no need for e85.

    Review? Ok i have spool billet n1 gears. Its still running and pumping oil years on lol. Not much else to say apart from they haven't broken so, seem to be fine.
  14. hardsteppa
    Tomei oil restrictors, 1.5mm, have 2 of them. Bought for current engine rebuild but now not needed - 1 still in wrapping, 1 opened, but both brand new/unused. $10 each, will post free if you buy both. 1x Stock exhaust manifold for RB25DET and RB20. In good order, I had it sitting around as a spare but now gone topmount manifold so not needed. Pickup only in Brisbane, bit too big/heavy to post.

    Internally gated GT30 turbine housing with a 6-bolt RB25/Skyline dump pipe outlet. Is a hard to find 0.73 a/r size. Was on the Hypergear ATR43 ss2 that I'm still using; is for sale as am now running external wastegate so not needed. Approx 4 months old and in VGC.$120, Pickup in Brisbane or can post at buyers cost (approx $15-20).

    Aeroflow piston ring grinder/filer with case, in almost brand new condition. Bought for current engine build; most rings were the right gap, just had to take a fraction off a few of the 2nd rings, so it's literally had less than 2 minutes total use.$75, Pickup in Brisbane or can post at buyers cost.

    And why would you; alot of the bolts are "automotive only". I know because i've walked in with some and they've looked at them and said, 'nah mate they're automotive only". Hence my saying, automotive only for some bolts. That concludes my story.
  18. hardsteppa
    Oh and you also might need to extend it at the rear, so it doesnt finish to early, under the bump. Come to think of it, if i had to do it again i'd just make a custom one.
  19. hardsteppa
    I have that same style, on r33 though. Yes you can make it fit, with a bit of work. You will also really want it to extend all the way forward, over rear subframe, till it meets pretty much level with the floorplan, if you expect to be effective that it is. And yes it does catch stones/debris, especially outer-side wheel duct.
  20. hardsteppa
    6 range. .8 gap.
  21. hardsteppa
    I would love to hear your reasoning behind this, as I'm not sure I follow what you're saying.
  22. hardsteppa
    Aim for 501 hp...will meet your goal and will be cheapest/easiest.

    GTS Boy on it...immobiliser issue possibly. Mine does it when key is in the ignition but immobiliser is on; hit the remote button to deactivate, and the relay clicking stops.

    picked everything up from the engine shop the other week. All good; the only thing they had to do for the rods was a slight hone of small ends to match the new piston pins. Asked their tech for his opinion on the rods, any concerns or issues and he gave them the ok, said will be more than fine for the planned power level. So pretty happy with that alright. Rods and RossIsBoss pistons ready to go>

    Replace the top bolt with a stud and nut...makes it much easier.
