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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
