Hey i was wondering what machining needs to be done to an RB25DET to fit GTR crank and rods? Is it a big job? Is it worth the hassle or would it be better to stick with standard crank, building motor to push out 400rwhp so would it be a benifit for my power level target?

it would be a waste one would think to fit these to make such a small hp figure i reakon save for stronger pistons,linished rb26 rods and a set of cams cam gears etc this car would be a totally internally reliabe 400rwhp streeter SK your needed:) someone correct me if im wrong.

Hi all

Im new to this site and i was wondering what everyone would suggest, for me to be able to get around 300rwk from my gtst without changing the internals.

Current mods are full 3in exhaust, pod filter, adjustable tein suspension. Everything else is still stock as ive only had the car 3months. any sugestions would be appreciated thanx. These cars are the best :headspin:

so gtr rods will fit on the gtst crank? Sorry for the questions, as dumb as they may sound i honestly have no experience in this field and want to know alot b4 i build my motor, i dont want to build it and then find out that i could have used something else etc to get a better result.. thanx

Yep, RB26 rods are a cheap upgrade in an RB25 - rod length, journal size and gudgeon pin size are all the same. Rod width is a bit beefier, expecially around the big end journal.

300rwkw is pretty easy to get on a standard bottom end, there are a ton of posts on the forums of people who have done it.

No V.V.T. on the intake so you'll need to swap over to either RB26 cam gears or adjustables. Are you talking standard cams? If they are aftermarket you need to be careful of lift as they are made for solid followers, not hydraulic as the RB25s are... unless you convert them with a Tomei kit. Or RB26 valvetrain. Or make your own out of Coke cans. Or ask Alby Mangles for another way.

LOL (clown) :D

Im talking Standard cams, with adjustable gear.. I heard that this mode is done on the RB20's.. Not sure it would benifit a rb25

SK mite be abled to answer this Question

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
