Others have posted in here that it can be done. when i rung nissan there is only one type of gtr valve spring yet there are 3 different tyres of rb25 valve springs when i rung the local cam/head specialist.

Id consider using an rb26 head on that combination as then you will be able to use the standard wiring. THis + the superior flow characteristics make for a good choice

:P hi guys,

I've just bought another r33gtr to turn into a drag/monaro & xr6t basher.I've taken out the original engine and am currently building an rb25/30 hybrid.I was wondering can I swap valve springs from the rb26 with rb25.

>_<

Another GTR hey... lol

Why would you run the inferior rb25 head when you have an rb26?

Rb26 springs in to RB25 are fine

RB25 springs in to rb26 is definitely not fine.

The RB25 springs are shorter and are not suitable for the rb26.

:O Thanks for the replies guys. :D

I will do the 26 springs.

Why don't I use the 26 head ?

I'm stripping the complete motor out to keep it totally original.My other is a stock std 95 Tommy Kaira.

So in the future If I decide to sell them, they should return me more with a worked (non original) rb26 and 25/30 hybrid engines installed. As well as the original/unmodified/less than 15000km engines for them.

To me this makes sence.

Why own one of the best std sports cars in the world and flog the absolute guts out of the engine/gearbox until it goes bang. Then wish that you had kept it standard and drove it for the next 20 odd years.

When you can keep it for ever, the way it left the factory, if you put a hybrid in.

:D

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
