Whats your budget dude?

If you use the RB26 crank, rods i think the RB25 pistons.

Someone will confirm as a lot have done it.

I just used the RB25 crank/26 rod/25 piston

it is going into a stagea so i want about 300kw

so i can just use a forged 26 crank rods and pistons

what the deck height will the pistons go to high

26 rods and crank and pistons will do it. Same deck height and rod length remember.

25 pistons on 26 rod and crank would be sitting proud of the block at TDC

so BD Dave i can just 26 crank and rods and pistons and i wont have to do anything to the block or

26 crank has longer stroke, rods are equal (in size, but 26`s are stronger), pistons are different. block height is the same, head cc is almoust th same (25 a bit smaller)

26 or aftermarket rods is a must as 25 rods are weak.

26 crank + 25 pistons will have CR too high or what BHDave said.

The best option is 26 crank+rods+pistons in 25 block. i do the same thing for myself now.

You have to check that there's sufficient clearance in the block for the longer throw crank and the big ends of the rods, so maybe a bit of machining there (some one will have to confirm as i haven't dummied one up to check). As you'd probably put in new pistons anyway it's just a matter of machining the bore to suit the new pistons (assuming .5 oversize).

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
