Well i enjoyed my r33 for 2 whole days before it overheated due to a bad water pump so the head gasket is shot no big stress as i have already purchased the tomei headgasket and ARP head studs. my mechanic says it could have gotten the rings as well so i think i am going to go ahead and pull them as well. my question is i am going to purchase a set of GTR rods from DRUZILLA on the forum to go with my weisco pistons but i was looking at the specs and it seems the rb26 rods are 2mm longer than the rb25. will this matter? this must be how the rb26 is a 2.6 becouse the bore is the same just 2mm longer rods. any help or advice is appreciated. thanks

Rods and crank you will need.

Thats an expensive overheat, whats the rebuild going to cost?

around 1000.00 USD for it. its not that bad i guess becouse i was going to do it anyhow it just moved up my time table a little i guess. so if i use the GTR rods i haft to use the GTR cranks as well?????

    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
