I have 2 sets of RB26 rods for sale.

"CARRILLO" CNC machined from 4340 chome moly forgings. (A lightweight rod)

At the factory they are heat treated, then magnaflux inspected and hardness checked, then machined to final size. Each set of rods is balanced and then shot peened to achieve the ultimate in strength and fatigue properties. The rod bolts are the multiphase SPS-CARR units. These rod bolts have a design tensile strength of 285,000 PSI and are designed to be a non-replacement type fastener. These are low kilometer rods with a replacement value of $3600 for sale at $1900. (Available now)

RB26 std. rods from a 16000km R33 GTR v-spec. $600. (Available in Feb.)

If the Carrillos are 21mm gudgeon pin size (standard), then I'll give you $1000 for them.

Question: If the rod bolts are a "non-replacement type fastener" does that mean that they're useless to the buyer or did you buy new ones to sell with the rods?

edit: oh, and why do you have "Carrillo" in inverted commas? Are they genuine Carrillos or not?

non-replacement type fastener......last a life time....don't have to replace at every rebuild.

285,000psi bolts....ARP from memory is only 100,000psi.

Gen. Carrillo.....Carrillo make the rods for HKS...but the Carrillo are shotpeen prior to machining....Carrillo, HKS, Tomie are all H-beam, most others are only I-beam.

You get what you pay for.

$1500 is the best I am willing to do.

May take trade however......clutch, cam kit, etc.

I assume that all the rods are in perfect condition? No warping or damage?

Have you weighted all the rods? Are they still all still balanced?

Have you attacked them with verniers and made sure there is no stretching around the either end (big end and gudgeon pin end)?

It's a little hard to do this with second hand parts considering we're in different states and I can't get my hands on them to measure them...

Would you be able to take close ups of all the rods?

Why did you remove them from your engine?

It has been my experience that Carrillo make the best conrods, bar none. I have never had a Carrillo rod fail and we have used them in some extreme stuff. If I was building a strong RB26 or RB25, these are the rods I would choose.

For the price GTR STI is selling them you could not buy better. Hi Merli, jump on a cheap Virgin and go and look at them, it's worth it.

Hey SK...

Thanks for confirming what I thought... I knew that Carrillos are excellent rods, and definitely WELL beyond the power levels I'm aiming for, but it's always good to have overheads built in :(

Unfortunately I don't have time to fly upto Brissy anytime soon...

Phillip: Are you willing to send them to me, pending my getting them checked out and measured? If they're all fine, I'll take them for $1500. I can give Chris (doughboy) the money to hold as an escrow if you feel more comfortable with that, but rest assured I'm good for it :( I'm not about to rip anybody off over some conrods :)

Thanks again Sydneykid.

Let me know what you think Phillip,

Andrew.

Shouldn't it really go by the timestamp of the post? If I had known you'd check your PM's first, I wouldn't have bothered with posting in your actual For Sale Thread, which is the correct forum for discussion is it not?

If Sebaz sent his PM first, then I have no qualms, but if my post at 11:22pm yesterday was first, that's quite unfair.

Sorry Merli,

I'm as fair as they come.

Working up in Wepia at the moment....two people had rang my home in Brisbane...prior to your post.

But by the sounds of it SEBAZ may have a set of other rods for sale soon.

Give him a PM.

have fun....it's alway raining here.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
