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.

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

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • 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.
