Just looking at the ACL site, it shows that the RB25 / RB26 pistons are different in 2 areas:

Crown volume - RB26 = 16.3cc, RB25 = 11.5cc

Comp Height - RB26 = 30.3mm, RB25 = 31.3mm

I think the Comp Height difference means you will smash a RB25 piston into the head of a RB26, because the piston sits higher on the gudgeon pin / small end.

I would imagine most others are the same.

And RB265 / RB26 have different stroke, so you probably can't use the same rods either.

well your totally wrong about the rods they fit either engine, the rb26 has 2 more mm's of stroke but it has 1 mm less of compreson height, and the dome cc's compensate for the extra mm of stroke thats my theory ive talked to soem engine builders in the states and they told me ill be fine i entered all the calculations on my engine calculator shows 8.1 compresion just want to knwo if thiers something im missing or if thiers something that wont fit

Why ask if you're going to research and find the answer yourself???

Big mistake.............Good luck! ;)

You cannot use the rb25 pistons in the 26, due to different deck height, comp height, gudgeon pin height.

I say we let him work it out himself as he's gotten some excellent advice................

Yup, a good bloke.........

He may have been through some shit man, but it doesn't excuse talking to people like shit trying to help him.

He's getting advice, he should be thankful and not take what he's being given for granted, even if his mates in the US know everything.

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.

      Blue slip

      I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
