I know it was a shitty ass post but i kind of ran out of time, rb26 over sized to 2.7L forged pistons stock rods new bearings, metal head gasket head studs, the head is ported and polished ferrara valves hks springs retainers and 272 cams cam gears, stock intake manifold custom exhaust manifold for twins t3/t4 turbos greddy oil pump ati damper electromotive engine management 1000cc injectors, the motor is in a s13 body i hope this answers everyones question if you have any please feel free to ask.

any more detail on the turbos and manifold arrangement (waste gates etc)

I will get the pics by the end of the week and post it, and guys dont be haters if your car does not make that kind of power hahahah.

mate i think its more the fact of common sense, y stinge on rods in a 650rwhp engine? forged rods aint expensive, and do u really wanna be pulling it down again cause its broken one ?

i think u have saved money in the wrong area and the internals r more important than a better intercooler or stuff like that, cause that stuff can be changed later without hassle.

each to their own, and good work as i said :(

I can just see it now.. the media going crazy about a car bomb terrorst attack.

Just stay away from the main city's and our schools!

What if it does (nearly) and we are still haters ?

EDIT: Sorry if that sounds cold, but man can you blame us from the vagueness of the info given, the construction of the initial post, the failure to forward any concrete evidence, supporting information etc. Not to mention the skepticism over your choice of rods, by myself and others.

Props to you if your the real deal, just way too many dickheads around to believe shit like this off the cuff... back it up, or shut it up, thats what i reckon.

KW told me he ran a rebuild n1 engine all nissan std part to a 10.3 with the twin trust turbo set he runs know for sometime before sell it to a motorkana dude (you need to be made some serious hp to run 10.3). His belief was the std engine is good to around 750bhp and the first thing he talked about braking was the block not the rods.

pete

ps i run forged rods for piece of mind

no offence but i will back my shit up alright since you runnin your mouth off but the question is what do you have to to back up with besids a big mouth and a attitude, i know my initial post was shitty and i said that and i also know it is hard to believe stuff like this off the cut but damm give a guy a break here i said i was goin to post it before the week is done then we will see who is talkin shit and who is not.

r stock rods capable of over 650rwhp without failing???

awesome results none the less :D

post dyno sheet :happy:

how do u find the ati dampener? how much are they worth new? where to get em from? any details appreciated mate

I will get a price on the damper for you there is a website you can go to it is www.atidampers.com i am in the us so shippin was not too much, but it is worth gettin the damper i have seen proof of that especially when you are makin 500 plus hp.

There is a pattern here.

Random person who has barely posted if at all comes on here with a thread stating 11ty bazillion rwkw with no dyno sheet, pics or list of mods done.

25 keyboard warriors hang shit on him.

He counters with a few scant more details which contains a comment of a stock part that most people think should be upgraded - eg injectors, rods.

The whole forum hangs shit on him for using that stock part saying his motor will blow up any second now.

End result:

The newbie who has spent many hours and $ on his Skyline thus generating some knowledge tries a few more times but the lines are drawn and he fades away.

Possible solution:

We can't pre-educate the newbies so we have to expect their behaviour and cater to it. Perhaps in a more pleasant manner. Obviously forum slamming is fun but it doesn't add to the community assets.

Have a nice day. :P

Quite a few of the reputable workshops in Australia have told me correctly prepped stock rods with suitable rod bolts will hold quite alot of power and 9000rpm without a problem (as long as youre not hitting 9000rpm all day every day).

I know of a RB26 running 520rwkw in its street driven trim with stock rods, has never had a problem in its life. The only failure of the conrods you generally hear about is due to oil related issues, not the strength of the part itself.

In saying that though, for $900 you may as well chuck a set of Eagle rods in it for a bit of extra safety.

And more importantly he should learn how to structure sentences, not just have 1 long sentence which ends up reading like blah blah blah

    • Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in
    • What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.
    • Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha
    • Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
    • Got you mate. Check your email!
