So how strong are GTR rods?

Is it worth the expense of using aftermarket conrods if your keeping to 8000rpm and less than 300rwkw. Can the stockers with linishing and balancing do the job RELIABLY.

Also what experience do people have with oil surge on the racetrack, i am reluctant to start runing slicks as i suspect RB20DETs already suffer from this on road rubber when thrashed around circuits for 20mins at a time.

Any thoughts are appreciated

gtr rod should be ok to 8k all day 8500 is very common on high hp gtrs using stock rods are you gettign the crank to go with them. lastly gtrs have a starvation problem I ahvent heard of similar problems with rb 20 equipped cars.

oil cooler would help as well and possible lower temp thermostat and bigger radiator but yu probably know that any way

cheers

Roy I've had a GTR with Stock internals and Bolt on upgrades producing over 300rwkw, so the RB26 Rods are up to the job, when searching for Big HP;tuning is extreamly important to the equation of reliability.

Hell even RB25 Rods are up to the task,there are many RB25's producing in excess of 300rwkw with stock rods. My GTST is still going strong with many interstate trips and hard trackwork under its belt.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
