The Nissan RB26DETT six-cylinder of the Skyline GT-R

The RB26DETT is the 2.6-litre twin-turbo straight six of the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32, R33 and R34 and the Stagea 260RS. With 24 valves operated by mechanical tappets, it takes 24 springs.

Nissan fits spring 13203-05U00 (the only outer spring), retainer 13209-05U00, spring seat 13205-58S00 and valve locks 13210-D4200, identical on R32, R33 and R34.

SUPERTECH and FERREA reinforced valve spring kits

On an RB26, every spring is asked to lower the valve as soon as opening ends, then make it follow the cam until it seats. With big turbos and taller cams, the engine revs far above its stock range; when force falls behind, the valve escapes the profile and may touch the piston.

SUPERTECH offers kits from 276 N (62 lbs) to 409 N (92 lbs) seat pressure, single or double, including one with different inlet and exhaust pressures. FERREA rates KT4052 at 489 N under 39.0 mm and 934 N for 10 mm of lift.

Spring 13203-05U00 (outer spring) Kit specific: SPR-M1005S, SPR-M1007S, SPR-M1007D, SPR-TS1015 (SUPERTECH); S10090 (FERREA)
Retainer 13209-05U00 Kit specific: RET-NRB60/TS (SUPERTECH); E11057 (FERREA)
Spring seat 13205-58S00 Original kept (M1005S, M1007S); kit specific: SEAT-TS1015 and SEAT-TS1015-2, SEAT-RB26/TS9 (SUPERTECH); SL1047 (FERREA)
Collets 13210-D4200 Original kept (SUPERTECH); kit specific: K10072 (FERREA)

SPRK-M1005S-RB and SPRK-M1007S-RB change springs and RET-NRB60/TS retainers and keep the original spring seat, with 24 SS-3025 shims for the former. SPRK-M1007D-RB-2L adds SEAT-TS1015 (inlet) and SEAT-TS1015-2 (exhaust) spring seats, SPRK-TS1015-RB26 adds SEAT-RB26/TS9. FERREA KT4052 gathers S10090 springs, E11057 retainers, SL1047 spring seats and K10072 valve locks.

Valve shut, installed height refers to the room the spring has from one of its seats to the other. SUPERTECH pressures are given at 40.7 mm, or 33.0 mm for SPRK-TS1015-RB26 which changes the spring seat; FERREA states 39.0 mm. Recutting the seats raises this dimension and costs one spring rate per millimetre: check every valve.

Technical guide

Our brands

SUPERTECH Operating from San Jose in California, SUPERTECH has won over GT-R tuners with its racing valvetrain. The purified chrome-silicon-vanadium wire of its springs and the inspection of every series by radiography, ultrasound and laser measurement account for its standing.
FERREA Behind FERREA Racing Components stands Horacio Ferrea, born in Argentina and settled in Florida as an engine builder, who launched the brand in 1978. Its workshops turn out springs, retainers, valves and guides, used in drag racing, NASCAR and many race RB26s.

How to choose

With more force, the valve keeps hold of the cam when the turbos blow hard and revs soar: taller cams, a later cut-off or more boost then become possible without valve float. Seat pressures on this page span 276 to 489 N. Stay below the lift each kit tolerates: 12.0 mm at FERREA, 12.9 to 14.9 mm at SUPERTECH. The FERREA kit, the stiffest here, is meant for the most extreme builds.

CriterionKey point
Choosing the pressure Within the SUPERTECH part numbers, the lbs figure is the seat force: 62 and 70 lbs for the single kits, close to a reinforced road fitment, 92 lbs for the double kits, with SPRK-M1007D-RB-2L reduced to 82 lbs on the exhaust. FERREA KT4052 targets big turbos with 489 N. Balance lift, target rpm and boost; surplus force needlessly tires cams and mechanical tappets.
Single or double spring With a single kit, one stiffer spring takes the place of the stock spring. A double kit adds an inner spring, which shares the effort and curbs vibration, plus a specific spring seat to centre it on the head.

When reinforced springs become necessary

  • Turbos larger than the original T28s
  • Taller or longer-duration camshafts
  • Increase in boost pressure
  • Engine built for circuit, drift or hillclimb
  • Weakened original springs, valve float noticed on the dyno
