Hey just looking for a little insight here....

I pulled apart my 26 today, just wondering whether these are stocko pistons or not.

Also, one of the rods is diff in terms of the numbers on it, need to know whether this is a 26 rod or not. The one on the left is the odd one out, its also a little lighter in colour compared to the others, and has grounding marks on it for balancing.

Thanks for the help!

Mat.

standard rods

Yeah i know theyre standard but is the odd one out a 26 rod and should it just be used anyway?

Edit: theyre not physically different, its just the numbers that are completely different.

Thanks alot for the intell guys.

Anyone got some n1 pistons for sale?

they are batch numbers. the "o5u" is the common denonomator. from the look of it its a typical buget jap rebuild. n1 pistons with some standard rods. hows the crank?

more than likly its sufferd a spun bearing and been rebuilt fron a parts bin. nothing wrong with that just yeah..

Didnt get time to pull the crank out today but will do and inspect it tomorrow.

Yeah the crank has extra grounding and drillings, it looks as if it has been fully balanced.

With the rods i was thinking it could be a 25 rod or something like that, as gtr rods are used as upgrades etc etc...

Thanks again T04

They are both Rb26 rods , looks like at some stage the changed one ( different batch number and probably newer) so the lighter colour . The pistons are stock Nissan N1's ( 24u mark on them) but they are 1mm oversise so 87 mm bore ( thats the 100 on them near the dot that indicates the front of the piston ). 50 is .5 mm oversise and standard size have st there ( or something like that ).

Here is a pic of a complete set of rods that are the same batch .

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
