well over 300rwkw, over 6 months and around 10,000kms - stock internals and I havent had any probs. I even had a boost spike to 1.9bar in 3rd gear on a hot summer day, hit red line pretty quick. I was a bit worried, but that was about 5 months ago.

I think it is important to decompress the stock RB25 if you are heading into this teritory - that's what the japs do, and what I did, good fuel supply and a good tune.

JMS R33 used a similar setup for well over 300rwkw, and Danny isnt exactly renouned for his mechanical sypathy.

If the engine is in good condition, you can push them pretty hard, but if it is tired, or been abused by a previous owner (who knows for sure?), you may run into trouble down the track. But generally, it is not an uncommon thing in Japan for RB25s to put out this sort of power on stock internals.

If you have the engine out, it would be well worth upgrading to RB26 crank/rod/pistons.

They are stronger and will drop the CR to 8.5:1 AFAIK, which is where mine is. An added benefit is an extra approx 100cc of capacity, not much, but it all helps:) Plenty of GTRs putting down 300rwkw with stock internals no probs - well, I havent heard of too many failures anyways - unless stupid things are being done (eg, thrashing a cold engine)

If you want to do a full rebuild, why not just drop a 3L bottom end in. In NZ guys have run mid 400rwkw without problems, and you have all that 3L torque, hmmmm:)

I did the GTR rods with my rebuild with Arias forged 1.0mm OS pistons. I got the full balance, bearings, O rings, lightened flywheel, x rays and crank cleaned out and straightened.

I have to say, it may just be the balance and the crank straightening which spun by hand easily when i torqued the crank in (and didn't before), but it felt soooo much smoother afterward. The extra mass of the rods probably limted the ebnefit of lightening the fly.

yer, im doing the same, drop the car off in 2-3 weeks. Just waiting for parts.

RB25 crank (they are fine)

RB26 rods

forgies (not sure what yet)

Reco'd head - no cams

with all the usual balancing/machining etc etc, with my GT30 it'll go quite nicely.

If you were to go the 3ltr, you'd need a GT35 to make the most of it...

yeah' date=' 25 block, 26 crank and rods, forgies, cams, thats me :cheers: QUOTE']

This post seems to contradict this one .........

I want RB25 cred

It is hardly an RB25 if it is stuffed with RB26 internals.:confused:

well, rb25 still stanped on the engine number is what i was referring to. I am building the motor to suit me, not anyone else, i cant compare with the sub zero boys producing big kws in there gtrs n supras so dunno if its going to stand out much.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
