I will soon install the RB in my Silvia S14...and before that I want to make sure that my RB won't fail soon (like my SR did) So I want to change all the weak point of the RB25...I would like to change the bearing on the crank and connecting rod..but could only find some for RB26... are they using the same???

If not, were can I find RB25 bearing (after market one or new one)? (I live in Canada...so I can't go to the Nissan dealer)

Here is the list of thing I plan to change to "refresh" the engine:

crank and connecting rod bearing

headgasket for metal one to lower C/R to ~8.5

New Ring

Exhaust cam gear

(I will also upgrade the turbo, injectors, ECU.....)

Should I get the connecting rod shot peened and strengthened ?

Does this process really help? how much does it cost ~$

While I'm there should I put stock RB26DETT pistons ? are they bolt-on ?

Is the stock intake manifold too restrictive for ~275rwkw ???

My goal is ~ 275rwkw

Thanks!

Do you mean that crank bearing fit or the actual crank itself....so the GTR is exactly the same size (rod and crank) (except stroke) physicaly....it's only made stronger?

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
