Rb25 vs rb26 crank bolt


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone sorry to ask a silly question but, I’m looking for an rb30 crank bolt however, being in the US it makes it pretty difficult and arp bolts are no where to be found. I do have an arp bolt for my 26 and was wondering if I could use it if I tap the crank. The thing the bothers me is the length of bolt. Do you all know the length difference?

Tap the crank ?!

The thing that should bother you is the fact you want to weaken the crank to use a stronger bolt.

Platinum racing on their US site have an M16 ARP bolt that is compatible with RB30.

Though that is true I can’t find the washer :(

I ordered a RB20/RB25/RB30 12 point ARP crank bolt from Platinum Racing. I plan on just using the stock washer. Anyone know the torque valve for the ARP bolt? I know the shop manual is 45nm/330 Ftlbs. With the ARP bolt I feel like the torque value would be less. I searched everywhere here in the states and had to order it from PR. They are very hard to come by here.

Pretty sure that’s the rb26 torque spec, the rb 20/25/30 is a lot lower

I'm confirming this. If my memory is correct, I believe it was somewhere around 240ftlb's.

    • From memory and please correct me if I have this wrong, the nismo that come with half shafts are specific for that diff centre. You may be able to find Nissan ones that match up but you'd need to understand what nismo are doing.    Best option is get  a pair of 5x1 axles, they usually don't cost that much and direct swap over for the 3x2(6 bollt) 
    • AFAIK, the length of the shafts has NOTHING to do with the ratio of the diff.
    • It depends on what the guy who bought its Ratio is. Mine is a 4.36 Jus Jap told me anything above a 3:9 has equal length shafts which the Nismo center's shafts were not.
    • If those shafts in the last 2 photos are the ones that came with the diff, you have no hope of fitting the other ones because they are completely different 
    • I have recently fitted a Nismo GT Pro Center second Hand buy still in the box i got stubs with it but they are 5 bolt and I need 6 (3x2) I was told by Just Jap that for a 4:36 ratio the stub axles are equal length sku 38220-0V161. They didn't have any in stock but I picked up the ones pictured. The one with 5 bolt are the ones that came with the LSD. The right side went in no issues but the right....I have happened the fk out of it put it in a press and it still sticks out about 5mm too far. It was sticking out about 25mm but after bashing it like Chris Brown did to Rhianna I managed to get it a bit further in but seems stuck again now. Any ideas? Should I just leave it 5mm out and send it?
