Hey all, i searched and searched and didnt find much. I have an r33 Rb25det and i just reached 300 kw on the dyno yesterday after the next stage of my mods. Although it was only on 18 psi i am worried that i have pushed the standard internals as far as they will go...Without breakage.

What kinda power and boost is everyone running on standard internals?

Or does anyone know how much the bottom end will handle?(approx 90,000kms)

dont know for sure but things i have read you shouldnt push them past 300 rwkws on a standard bottom end . Iam in the hunt for those sort of figures and have just about finished my rebuild( flogged out valve guide) with fordged pistons and rb 26 rods so i hope it will be strong. Congrats on the figures to thats great.

Sydneykid Rule of Thumb (yes another one) for an unopened RB25DET is 450 bhp, that's ~280 rwkw. So you are already past where I would start looking for signs of distress.:)

Over the years we have developed a standard around here.....

BHP = Brake Horsepower, which can only be measured at the crank, on an engine dyno if you like.

RWKW = Rear Wheel Kilowatts, as measured on roller dyno (Dyno Dynamics being the most popular in Australia)

BHP / 1.34 - losses = RWKW

:cheers:

PS; it is much easier if everyone uses the same language.

SK:- What usually goes wrong if you go  over your suggested power limit(280rwkw)?

What do you suggest are the most important parts to strengthen when aiming for 350RWKW??

Things I have seen fail;

Piston ring land

Piston crown

Head gasket

Little end bearings

Conrod bolts

Big end bearings

Main bearings

Exhaust valve and seat

The #1 part is pistons, #2 is conrod bolts, #3 is the conrods themselves. Head gasket can be an issue on older engines, head studs are a good solution. Upgrading the bearing material is important and main bearing studs are worthwhile.

Actually the only thing I have not seen fail is the crank, they are blooody strong suckers.

Hope that helps some more:cheers:

SK- What bearings do you use, and what studs do you use for the main bearing girdle?

We used to use Clevites but they must have done an exclusive deal with some Jap Tuning House, so we now use ACL Race Series, great results so far.

We only use ARP studs, never had a problem with an ARP product.

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
