Hey all... I am trying to get some more information of the RB25DET. I am trying to figure out what my compression is going to be at once everything is all built. In order to find out my compression, this is what my machine shop will need to know (so if anyone could help me out that would be great):

1. RB26 rod length?

2. Compression heigth of Wiseco 86.5mm pistons?

3. Combustion camber?

4. cc of Wiseco piston and if it is a dish or dome piston?

I am worried, becuase I have heard when people do the Wiseco's 87mm and a 1.2mm head gasket they get a compression ratio of around 7.9:1 and that is of course way to low for my blood. I atleast want to get around 8.6:1 or so, and if this is true I will probably end up milling the head down and decking the block also.

Thanks,

Zach

I am getting the Wiseco's, becuase they are the cheapest and are pretty well made pistons, so I have to go with what they give me which is just the 86.5 or 87mm piston. The only way of me correcting my compression is by decking the block and milling the head down, but I need to know what the compression is going to be at before I decide, hence the reason why I am asking.

Could use the help,

Thanks,

The compression should be 8.5 as far as I am aware. That is with standard deck height, standard Nissan head gasket and the 86.5 pistons that are 20 though over.

That is what I was told by the people that rebuilt my engine, I believe that the compression is slightly less than standard...

couldnt you use a thinner head gasket to raise the compression?

1. pretty sure RB26 rod is same length as RB25

2. Im getting Wiseco piston also, 86.5mm pistons give a about a 8.0-8.4/1 c/r depend on if you have had the block decked or not, and thats with a 1mm head gasket

3. what about it?

4. RB25 wiseco pistons are a flat top piston without vale pockets

the info i have given you is from the wiseco web site, hopefully ive read it correctly

so using a 87mm piston and a 1.2mm head gaket without getting the block decked 7.9/1 c/r sounds about right according to that info

    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)

    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
