Hey guys, I own a '93 R33 GTS-T Skyline and have decided that this year I'm actually going to do something to it instead of just talk about it, haha... But what I want to do, I've only heard that it's possible... And I'm not 100% if it would... So if you guys know if it's possible and what I would need to do to make it work, feel free to throw in your knowledge please.

So here we go...

40' thou oversized pistons, H beam rods, RB26DETT crankshaft... That's the basics at the moment... Turbo is still unchosen and headwork will be done to what is needed. I've heard that this combination will stroke the RB25 to an RB26 or an RB27, but I doubt it personally.

I'm not after massive horsepower, I want a decent street car I can thrash at the track and come home afterwards. Like I said, feel free to throw your opinions at me. More help I get, the more knowledge I attain, the better I can make the car.

I will eventually be going down the RB25/RB26 stroke path later this year. This subject has been covered a little bit on the forums, please use the search function. You will also need to use RB26 Pistons along with the RB26 crank due to the extra stroke.

Any particular reason you want to go straight to 40' pistons? I would suggest going for 20' so if you ever have to rebuild, there is still enough material to remove from the bores, and pistons are readily available.

Using oversized pistons is not stroking a motor.

But bit of a thread dig there Abe :)

He posted that not 2 days later, NFI why, but at least it had a bit more info

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
