everyone is saying the rb25 is good to about 450WHP before it needs to be built, i am wondering what are the factory rods good to? and how much if i have them cryo froze while i am replacing the pistons and rings. thanks

what do you think a set of rb25 rods cryo froze would be good for as there is not a lot of resources for me to just pick up a set of gtr rods. unless you know someone that want to contribute to save the rb25 foundation. thanks alot

Guys, if anyone is interested, Eagle H-beam rods are now available for RB25's and RB26's. Eagles are a great rod, we've used them for years and not had one fail. These are a straight drop in and use ARP2000 3/8" bolts.

The best part is the price, $1150 a set, if people can organise to buy 3 sets between them they will be just under $1000 a set. Adam, I wasn't holding out on you about these, I only got the details this afternoon.

I have seen no evidence that cryoing used RB rods makes any difference. They are nitrided from the factory and they have been through so many heat cycles it is unlikely that they will have any stresses to relieve. The initial weakness in RB rods is the rod bolts, using ARP rod bolts would be the first thing I would do to improve RB rod durability.

:P cheers :)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
