Have heard of some people running the RB26 head set up in an Rb25 head and was just wondering where the best place was to find the parts and get this done.

A few years back I upgraded an RB25DE cylinder head. I bought the RB26 parts (valves, valve springs, collets, retainers, followers etc) used on the For Sale forum from one of the heaps of guys who upgrade their standard RB26 stuff. Cost was around $600 for the bits. Then it took a few hours to fit it to the RB25 cylinder head, regrind the valve seats, new seals and gaskets. Plus we ported it, matched he combustion chambers volumes and polished them. The labour and parts cost would be been around $900.

Wouldn't bother doing it again, cheaper to buy a used RB26 cylinder head complete and sell the RB25 one. The new RB31DET (below) has an RB26 cylinder head for that reason.

:D cheers :D

I was thinking along the lines of more revs as well.

At the moment ive got all the bolt ons but the head is fairly std with valve float on anything over 7000rpm.

For a $900 upgrade it may make sense for me, who would be capable of doin the work?

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/

      Blue slip

      @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.

      Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.

      Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.

      Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
