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.

Phil

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
