Just looking at the ACL site, it shows that the RB25 / RB26 pistons are different in 2 areas:

Crown volume - RB26 = 16.3cc, RB25 = 11.5cc

Comp Height - RB26 = 30.3mm, RB25 = 31.3mm

I think the Comp Height difference means you will smash a RB25 piston into the head of a RB26, because the piston sits higher on the gudgeon pin / small end.

I would imagine most others are the same.

And RB265 / RB26 have different stroke, so you probably can't use the same rods either.

well your totally wrong about the rods they fit either engine, the rb26 has 2 more mm's of stroke but it has 1 mm less of compreson height, and the dome cc's compensate for the extra mm of stroke thats my theory ive talked to soem engine builders in the states and they told me ill be fine i entered all the calculations on my engine calculator shows 8.1 compresion just want to knwo if thiers something im missing or if thiers something that wont fit

Why ask if you're going to research and find the answer yourself???

Big mistake.............Good luck! ;)

You cannot use the rb25 pistons in the 26, due to different deck height, comp height, gudgeon pin height.

I say we let him work it out himself as he's gotten some excellent advice................

Yup, a good bloke.........

He may have been through some shit man, but it doesn't excuse talking to people like shit trying to help him.

He's getting advice, he should be thankful and not take what he's being given for granted, even if his mates in the US know everything.

      Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.

      Possible option to replace central computer 370 V36

      By Vee37 · Posted

      I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out

      Import insurance in 2025

      I’m with Shannon’s for all 5 of our cars. Agreed values seem fair, premium price is okay. ($210 ish a month, all comprehensive).  Have claimed once with them for a not at fault claim with another car where my car had no damage. Was one call after the incident and an email after. Deemed not at fault so premium didn’t go up either.    I have called up and spoken with people who are not familiar with certain cars and didn’t agree with me on value or let their personal vehicle preferences effect the call. But called back later and got someone else who was more agreeable.
