WTF? RB25DET's are factory 9:1 comp ratio

You are gaining nothing by putting RB26 gear in your RB25 block. Unless you have a spare crank lying around that you need to use. The stroke is slightly more but the extra 100cc is not going to do FA for torque or power.

The reason I will use rb26 crank is because I have the block and enginehead but no crank,rods or pistons. So instead of buy an rb25 crank and then mount a crank collar on it would cost almost as much as an longnose rb26 crank. If 100cc doesn´t do anything then I wonder why so many high performance gt-rs from japan is stroked to 2,7?

Almost every aftermarkets pistons for rb26 is 8.5:1 but If the rb25 head is smaller cc maybe it is possible to get 9,0:1 then :)

^ umm but how do you have a RB25 now, without any innards?

It's not even 100c, its like 60 or something.

9:1 will be fine, pretty standard for anyone rebuilding in this day an age considering fuel advancements over the past 10 years+

Also just use GTR rods, they are fine for over 400rwkw and less than half the price of eagles

I bought a head cheap for about 1 year ago. The I found a block now to. So I will use them to build a complete engine of. A std rb25det cost about 2300Aud here and Im gonna change so much anyway so I think this would be the best way to go :)

You can buy a RB25 bottom end for next to nothing my friend... the head is the most expensive part.

Then just GTR rods ontop of that and you are set. Would be less than $1000 AUD easily. Not sure there you get 2300 from when you already have the top end :)

Beats buying a new RB26 crank IMO, unless you know the RB26 crank you are getting is fine but the cost to check, and if it needs repairing then its almost neutral.

Im from Sweden and It´s alot more expensive with parts here. I have searched for a while for a bottom but didn´t find someting we don´t have so many parts here. So I had to order the block from England. I want the long oilpumpdrive to so I think the rb26 crank would be fine.

The collar can be purchased and fitted for about $200 total. Being in Sweden might make things hard but there's always international shipping

Don't think that getting a second hand rb26 long nose crank is the best solution, because IMO it's not.

Often times on a second hand crank you will see where the oil pump drive has rounded away on the edges of the flat even on the long nose. A collar with international shipping will be under $100AU easily, and then you know the drive is 100% OK after fitting.

DO NOT shave the head more than just a surface because it'll stuff up your cam timing and possibly make the timing belt go slack.

Just order some custom 9.2:1 pistons. You won't be disappointed!

Sorry but that's the biggest load of shit I have ever heard. You aren't going to take enough off a cylinder head to have that much of an effect on the timing belt.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
