M11 standard i'm pretty sure (from ARP), no idea on the pitch though. I had to buy one for the VQ as they run the same M11 thread on the head bolts.

Make sure you get a bottoming tap.

To be more exact its actually M11 X 1.5 (pitch) for RB25's and RB30's.

RB26's are M12 X 1.5 pitch.

Reason i know is because im about to convert a RB30 block to RB26 head bolt sizes tomorrow for fun.

Make sure you get the bottoming out tap so yo can reach the end of the threaded hole if cleaning threads, the next one back is the plug tap and will be short 3-5 turns from the bottom, the starter tap will be 5-8 turns short.

Im waiting on 12mm CA625+ studs to arrive and a i have a set of 11mm studs but the box is sealed and i dont want to open it as im selling them.

A stock RB26 head bolt with washer fitted is 99.91mm long from under the washer head to the very end of the bolt including the threaded section that enters the block.

Remove the washer and from under the bolt head to the end of the threads its 102.72 mm.

Washer is 3.10mm thick exactly. (so im a few 0.00mm out somewhere)

Threaded section entering the block from the lengths above is around 27.5mm.

From there you will just need to add what you need to protrude out of the head to get the nut full on when working out stud lengths.

Do you have the length Pete? I want to compare to the VQ bolts I have here. (Not that I really want to go cutting L19's down, but I will if I have to. :P)

I was just down at Barrys and he gave me a set of RB26 ARP2000 stud kit to measure up as im still waiting for my studs to arrive.

Complete length of the whole stud is 124.37mm end to end.

Threaded section that enters the block is 23mm

74.27mm un-threaded shaft length.

Threaded section that nuts go on is 27.1mm.

So 23mm into block, 74.27mm shaft length, 27.1mm threaded for nuts and washer=124.37mm total length.

Hope that helps you. :)

The VQ bolt is 120mm from under the washer to the tip of the thread, so the length would be perfect, but it has an M11 x 1.25 pitch, so if the RB25/30 is 1.5mm pitch that won't work unfortunately.

Are you sure its 1.25 pitch into the block? It would provide real torque when tightening down.

Whats the final torque on them? A lot less than 100ft/lb?

ARP's studs for 25's and 26's are 1.5 pitch into the block but (i think) 1.25 on the heads nut face end. (Much finer)

Yep, I was measuring the stock VQ25det head bolts, so it's the thread into the block. I can't remember the nm figures, but 76nm stock and 96nm for the L19's is stuck in my head for some reason, unless it was actually ft/lb figures.

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!

      OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
