You and me both Joe.

I will also be using a full race manifold on a built 32 GT-R so I'll just see what state the crank is in when I pull it out as to whether I get a stroker or not.

Otherwise I will just rebuild my 26.

Should be a quick car.

What's the Goss on pistons rings and rods at the moment ?

I'm looking at JE pistons with carillo rods atm unless somebody stops me.

working under the assumption I don't end up needing the stroker kit.

Also bearings etc if anyone has any suggestions outside the usual ACL goodness.

There is nothing wrong with JE pistons and carrillo rods are awesome as well. As for bearings I use king bearings in my rb25 as well as the JE forged pistons. Any top name pistons are up to the task of abuse in rbxx engines. And everyone will differ in opinion. More come down to how well it's screwed together in my opinion.

Cheers Josh

my 2c? anything is useable in a mild build. buy whatever is cheap. I've used 5+ types of pistons and all have been equivalent.

If you want a billion horsepower it's different, if not it is the machining that matters most

I want 600hp at the wheels, would you consider that enough to warrant more research Dunc ?

is this enough power to warrant the stroker ?

Keep your suggestions coming !

Power won't warrant a stroker.

Where you want the power will.

Your budget really will depend on what you buy. No point buying carillos if they aren't needed. $$$ for other parts.

Nitto do combos with rods and JE pistons

Like Duncan said, more often than not its the machining that is the make or break factor.

Plenty of good pistons out there Mitch. Pay more attention to the gudgeon than the piston for that power level.

600hp = 450kw at the fly = ~350kw at the wheels.....pretty normal power level as far as I'm concerned, and it certainly doesn't need anything special.

I'd be more careful over 400-450atw.

Yeah Dunc, I want 600hp/450kw at the wheels.

wondering whether I'll need the stroker for driveability.

aren't the pins usually supplied ?

I'll be getting Chiltons to do the machining.

I'd be more careful over 400-450atw.

There is a nitto 2.7ltr stroker short block for sale in the for sale section. With 450kw Atws more capacity is always going to be better. Just depends what you want to use the car for and how much money you want to spend. It'll be roughly 15k+ for a decent built stroker in my experiences with mates builds. You could always put a dirty 30 in. After that I doubt you would ever look back.

Hey Mate,

once you've overbored a normal 26 there isn't really much to displacement to be gained by going to a 2.7.

A 2.8 is the smallest stroker I would consider.

in my situation the only costs I have are parts and machining.

through my research I found the RB30 to be less cost effective than a 2,8 stroker or a normal 26.

Unless people know cheaper places to buy stuff than I have found, which is one of the points of this thread lol.

Cheers,

Mitch.

A well built 2.6 will give more power then needed on the street, JEs and Carillos are more then upto the power you want as are all the others mentioned so whatever you feel comfortable forking out for will work just fine

but if the crank has to be replaced anyway then for the extra cost a stroker is the way to go for the extra capacity, I am nearly finished with a rb2630 build, capacity is king but how much, I think its size v cost v hassle, if I did it again the BC 2.9 would be the way I went

I have brought from those ebay guys before with no hassles

Thanks dude,

I am leaning towards one of those strokers.

I will start to compile a list for all of you to critique.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
