everyone is saying the rb25 is good to about 450WHP before it needs to be built, i am wondering what are the factory rods good to? and how much if i have them cryo froze while i am replacing the pistons and rings. thanks

what do you think a set of rb25 rods cryo froze would be good for as there is not a lot of resources for me to just pick up a set of gtr rods. unless you know someone that want to contribute to save the rb25 foundation. thanks alot

Guys, if anyone is interested, Eagle H-beam rods are now available for RB25's and RB26's. Eagles are a great rod, we've used them for years and not had one fail. These are a straight drop in and use ARP2000 3/8" bolts.

The best part is the price, $1150 a set, if people can organise to buy 3 sets between them they will be just under $1000 a set. Adam, I wasn't holding out on you about these, I only got the details this afternoon.

I have seen no evidence that cryoing used RB rods makes any difference. They are nitrided from the factory and they have been through so many heat cycles it is unlikely that they will have any stresses to relieve. The initial weakness in RB rods is the rod bolts, using ARP rod bolts would be the first thing I would do to improve RB rod durability.

:P cheers :)

      Pillar gauges

      See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars

      bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like

      Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
