"OEM RB25DET piston ringlands - built to be busted"

Since having mine built with strong internals and running big boost I've found a large interest in wide competition style rear rubber!

CMS Drifter , you got the easy job! I've gotta PAY for the whole thing :rant:

About half way now , engine out (thanx CMS) & fully pulled down.All gaskets , bearings and belts here , pistons & rod bolts arrive Monday . The block gets bored and decked this week before going to Perth to be "O"ringed , and while I'm there , drop off the stall converter & pick up my new rods:D

Getting Keen Now!

Take one fully functional R33 making 280rwhp constantly,

add One Hi-Flowed steel wheeled turbo,

spool boost briskly to exactly 15psi (note: you should be able to smell the rich aroma of "Smoked" 265's at this stage)

You will notice a flury of detonation as the boost spools up ,  

Now this is the important part..... carefully remove your Brain and place it heavilly

on your right foot ,

add to this the classic Aussie "She'll be right" &

Ta Da.... You have successfully Shot the dipstick ( oil Not driver) out of the sump due to the massive crankcase presssure caused by broken ring lands!!!!!

If you've done this right , the cab will fill with clouds of choking smoke with just a hint of anal discharge :fart:

See the illistrations below......Happy RB25 Cooking :)

Crap you have just described my driving method.:rant:

Troy Rep.

:Bang:
Hmm nice. The GTR rods are heavier than RB25 so even though I lightened the flywheel I noticed there was only a slight improvement response wise.

Gav , the RB26 rods will do me :rant: They can more than handle the 250rwkw I'm chasing.& are cost effective compared to aftermarket items.

B-man , I only killed 1 piston outright.....couple of others had cracked ring lands...& no.5 dropped the spark plug!!(still haven't found that!)

Morgs ,is there a place on the web that your not on? :cheers:

Pistons & rod bolts arrived today! :)

what would the ARP bolts come in at?

When I put mine together I had one that wouldn't accept the torque required and it started to neck, so I found most had been seriously stretched when I measured them, about 3-4 mm.

New RB26 bolts from Nissan cost about $180 from memory and had to come from 3 different places to make the set. Even so they pack then in fives...morons...and wanted me to pay overnight freight for the last 2 AND they sent me lawnmower bolts the first time.

At least they sent the cutest parts runner around with the last delivery :D. But she was blonde and wanted me to pay for them again...AAARRRGHHH...save us from Nissan Aust.
