I have 2 sets of RB26 rods for sale.

"CARRILLO" CNC machined from 4340 chome moly forgings. (A lightweight rod)

At the factory they are heat treated, then magnaflux inspected and hardness checked, then machined to final size. Each set of rods is balanced and then shot peened to achieve the ultimate in strength and fatigue properties. The rod bolts are the multiphase SPS-CARR units. These rod bolts have a design tensile strength of 285,000 PSI and are designed to be a non-replacement type fastener. These are low kilometer rods with a replacement value of $3600 for sale at $1900. (Available now)

RB26 std. rods from a 16000km R33 GTR v-spec. $600. (Available in Feb.)

If the Carrillos are 21mm gudgeon pin size (standard), then I'll give you $1000 for them.

Question: If the rod bolts are a "non-replacement type fastener" does that mean that they're useless to the buyer or did you buy new ones to sell with the rods?

edit: oh, and why do you have "Carrillo" in inverted commas? Are they genuine Carrillos or not?

non-replacement type fastener......last a life time....don't have to replace at every rebuild.

285,000psi bolts....ARP from memory is only 100,000psi.

Gen. Carrillo.....Carrillo make the rods for HKS...but the Carrillo are shotpeen prior to machining....Carrillo, HKS, Tomie are all H-beam, most others are only I-beam.

You get what you pay for.

$1500 is the best I am willing to do.

May take trade however......clutch, cam kit, etc.

I assume that all the rods are in perfect condition? No warping or damage?

Have you weighted all the rods? Are they still all still balanced?

Have you attacked them with verniers and made sure there is no stretching around the either end (big end and gudgeon pin end)?

It's a little hard to do this with second hand parts considering we're in different states and I can't get my hands on them to measure them...

Would you be able to take close ups of all the rods?

Why did you remove them from your engine?

It has been my experience that Carrillo make the best conrods, bar none. I have never had a Carrillo rod fail and we have used them in some extreme stuff. If I was building a strong RB26 or RB25, these are the rods I would choose.

For the price GTR STI is selling them you could not buy better. Hi Merli, jump on a cheap Virgin and go and look at them, it's worth it.

Hey SK...

Thanks for confirming what I thought... I knew that Carrillos are excellent rods, and definitely WELL beyond the power levels I'm aiming for, but it's always good to have overheads built in :(

Unfortunately I don't have time to fly upto Brissy anytime soon...

Phillip: Are you willing to send them to me, pending my getting them checked out and measured? If they're all fine, I'll take them for $1500. I can give Chris (doughboy) the money to hold as an escrow if you feel more comfortable with that, but rest assured I'm good for it :( I'm not about to rip anybody off over some conrods :)

Thanks again Sydneykid.

Let me know what you think Phillip,

Andrew.

Shouldn't it really go by the timestamp of the post? If I had known you'd check your PM's first, I wouldn't have bothered with posting in your actual For Sale Thread, which is the correct forum for discussion is it not?

If Sebaz sent his PM first, then I have no qualms, but if my post at 11:22pm yesterday was first, that's quite unfair.

Sorry Merli,

I'm as fair as they come.

Working up in Wepia at the moment....two people had rang my home in Brisbane...prior to your post.

But by the sounds of it SEBAZ may have a set of other rods for sale soon.

Give him a PM.

have fun....it's alway raining here.

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
