  1. For your application, the piston to bore clearance should be 0.0025in - 0.003in including the coating so basically if you measure the skirt diameter inc the coating you should come up at 0.0025in piston to bore clearance measured half way down the skirt.

    How are you measuring the clearance? How accurate is your equipment?

    They are suitable for street use and will be slightly noisier than regular pistons but only very slightly. They shouldn't be extremely loud compared to stock but you will still hear them when the engine is cold. Mahle require tighter clearance compare to other manufacturers so possibly your machinist has set them half a thou over. But even then I wouldn't imagine it would be as loud as you are suggesting. (How loud exactly?)

    Pedestrians looking when you drive past Loud. My machinist has heard the noise and agrees that it is piston noise.

    As loud as stuffed lifters. The noise is VERY loud when cold and only a bit quieter when fully warmed up.

    The equipment is machine shop equipment.

    Measurement taken 10mm from the bottom of the skirt. I will check the measurement half way up the skirt tomorrow.

    I am trying to decide if I should fit new pistons with longer skirts or maybe get another RB block and rebore it with tighter clearances

  2. Another mahle user here

    Here's a pic (note they're rb30 for 8.5CR)

    Do you know the piston to bore clearance?

    I have just fitted a rebuilt RB30/25 with Mahle pistons and the motor has very loud piston noise.

    After 100klms with no change in the noise, I have pulled my motor out again and rechecked the clearances

    and found them to be at .003" as my machinist had set them.

    I have since heard that the pistons are race only pistons and not street suitable, that they are always noisy

    and should have less clearance.

    Do you know if this is correct?

  3. As the title says, I have just bought a boss kit for my Momo Evo Millenium Steering wheel only to find my 33 doesn't have Hicas, so if anyone out there has a non-hicas boss sitting around new or used, I would be happy to swap.

    Cheers

    Hi Matt,

    I'm in the market for a steering wheel boss for a hicas R33 GTS.

    How much do youy want for yours?

    Sorry I don't have anything to swap.

    thanks

  4. Why do you want to put a r34 box in it?

    Works out cheaper to put the 33 box in doesn't it? And push type clutches are cheaper....

    I just got my car back from a manual conversion So just curious

    P.S help me out here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=154422

    I got an R34 box as it was all I could find at the time.

    Push type is cheaper.

    For your conversion you need the wiring harness from the gearbox up to the fuse/relay box on the drivers side inner guard for the reverse lights to operate.

    For the speedo to work you need the manual speedo gear drive in the box and a manual speedo head or it may be easier to buy a complete cluster second hand.

    Dont ask me why Nissan have a manual and auto speedo head, but they do.

    Hope that helps.

  5. can this wolf be used on a maunal im guessing yes and do u have the adaptors to go to a laptop or handcontroller

    It is best with a manual. It suits R32 RB20DET and R33 RB25DET. It connects directly to the factory wiring harness (Plugin) located behind the kick panel in the passenger side footwell.

    The cable in the top of the picture is the adaptor for the com port on your laptop.

    Hope this helps.
