Must be a higher turnover for RB26 - cause surely the rods arent THAT much different

well- they are longer

but not $40 worth of metal longer each :)

mebe ppl just think RB30 rods are awesome and should just be left as is :D

doubt it- the extra ~11mm of stroke would cancel out the extra rod length. and the piston speed would be slower on an RB26 at the same revs anyway

And the rod ~31mm longer. That's more than an inch. Tell me that an extra inch isn't all that handy?

It's all about the angles. . The extra crank throw is halved, so it's not the full amount of the extra stroke (11.23) But you do get the full rod length difference (30.9). And if you needed to spin the 30 to the same revs you'll be flowing alot more. Stroke:rod is a bit better at 1.79 on the 30, 1.64 on the 26.

Haha and at the end of the day the angle works out to be a bit more than 1 degree.

But isn't all this rubbish in the RB30 thread?

ps I think the rods are more expensive on the 30 as they are more popular, and he isn't moving any of the 26 stock at all. Liquidation time!

but he's not using a 26 crank in a 30 block- so it's no different to a normal RB30

since when do economies of scale make the more popular parts more expensive? Ferraris are popular and expensive, but only coz they don't make many of 'em. i reckon it's just because people use expensive aftermarket rods in 30's less often.

I always knew that the angle of the dangle was proportional to the lust of the thrust.
Dammit I thought it was the throb of the knob. No wonder I've been getting it wrong.

Steve: no probs. I have a fair amount of hoarder's rubbish that I'll list up as freebies, just need to get the motivation to list it all.

lol!

Yeah thats cool, seeing as you're so close let me know and ill come take your hoarders rubbish an turn it onto my hoarders rubbish :) But yeah, let me know what you have lying around :P

Heya, it's mainly odds and ends from RB motors. Some of it might be worth a couple of dollars, some of it not really. Have got sumps, intakes, exh manifolds, wiring looms, CPUs, oil block plates, injectors, pipework, turbos, dry sump bits, brakes, rear end parts, rods etc. One of those things I keep meaning to post up but never get around to. And at the moment everything is piled up ontop of each other in an effort to give me space to work on my car, so access is a bit of a bitch.

Have got a GTS-4 one and a 26 one. Was meant to be checking the ratio on the GTS-4 one for someone (I forget, yes I am lazy but I still remember I need to do that one day). I'll PM you midweek and let you know what ratios they are.

I admit that it's not really rubbish, just stuff that has no interest for me anymore. Not when there are 3 V8's sitting here, with 2 over 1500hp....

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
