This gets asked a lot, so here they are according to Nissan workshop manuals:

Rb26:

Balancer Bolt - 446-466nm (ouch!)

Flywheel Bolt - 124-152nm

Clutch Bolt - 34-44nm

Rb25:

Balancer Bolt - 142-152

Flywheel Bolt - 124-152nm

Clutch Bolt - 34-44nm

good luck getting 450nm on the RB26 bolt without a tension wrench designed to do wheel studs up on a Euclid 170T dump truck.

I do them 150nm then get a pipe over it for another 1/4 of a turn....never had one come loose.

what about putting some lock tight ova the thred? is this recomended i dont really want a pully popping out to say hello threw my bonnet at 8000rpm

DO NOT put Loctite or any other anerobic compound on them. ARP moly lube only please.

Hey mate,

Its 30mm for a RB26..

Cheers,

Thanks Johno.

You're pretty safe if u torque up the bolt to the above specs, loctite won't hurt, more of an assurance, but sucks to be the next person to rip the bolt out...haha.

(in saying that, some people are quite religious about using loctite)

just looking over this ... the balance bolt should be replaced with every clutch . i've looked at the threads on 25's and 26's and came to the conclusion it was a stretch bolt because it thins out close to head of the bolt. its just good practice . get it the right way first .

+1 I did it that way too before I put my engine in.

Pole was 4 meters long=sweet!

Anyone know the thread size for RB Flywheel bolts? Bought my RB20 for $20 and it has been sitting outside for the last 5 years so has some rust/filth in the threads in the crank. Looking go buy a tap to clean them up. Cheers.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
