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....

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
