Hey Guys,

I am a huge fan of Eagle products, and am glad to see they have released a set for the RB26DETT Motorset. If this is old news to some of you, then disregard this post.

I noticed a press release on their website, so I assume these are brand new or have only been released for a short time.

Part #CRS4783N3D 4.783" stock dimension fitment for Nissan RB26, 3/8" ARP 2000 bolts $600.00/set

Even better, they only retail for $600/set so you should be able to find some great deals on pricing through their dealers.

This price includes ARP Rod Bolts, so the pricing is fantastic.

Here's the link to their website, I hope you guys send them some business, as there very nice folks with a high quality product.

Haha, guess I'm definitely behind...and I guess it's time they update their website...

I'm going with these rods and CP Pistons, but am still trying to decide between the 86.5 and 87 bore setup.

Any suggestions?

What's the quality like on eagle rods? I've heard really really mixed reactions. One person said they are completely shit and to avoid them like the plague, other's said they are good. A set have been made available to me for a decent price, I'm not sure whether or not to use the standard RB26 rods, have them shot peined, cryo treated and linished/balanced, or to get the eagle rods and just make sure they are all balanced.

Anyone?

The quality is quite good, and they are highly respected in the US Domestic Cars Market.

I think many of the imports guys like to knock it, because it's not JDM Yo!

If you follow what I'm saying....

For the price, it can't be beat...

i think youll find in aus down here hardly anyone actually uses jdm pistons or rods. Theres enough australian/american stuff here thats plenty good enough and readily available.

The price is what worries me, as you pay for what you get...

Eagle is a US Domestic Parts based company, that focuses mostly on the Chevy/Ford Market....

They, unlike the others, aren't going to mark up the Japanese Car Parts prices and probably have little to no idea, on their competitors pricing.

I can assure you this piece is not even on their radar, in regards to their top selling pieces.

Like I said, they are well respected in the domestic market (I'm a previous 03 Mustang Cobra, and two Z06 Corvettes), and I have no fear of running them on my car.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
