I recently did a compression test on my 25 and number 6 was low.

I have pulled the engine down and it has Tomei cams and Tomei forged pistons. The rest of the engine internally was totally stock.

The engine made 399rwkw on 17psi and had redline at 8200 using twin T3/T4 turbos, Greddy plenum, 1000cc injectors, splitfire coils, and Haltech E11v2 blah blah blah.

Everything else is like brand new except for number 6 piston. Even the bore is fine.

I will have to measure up the piston but is there anywhere I can buy just 1 Tomei piston just to fix it up. I am currently getting a 3lt bottom end built so just want to fix the 25 to throw in something later down the track.

Cheers

I just did this same rebuild, but with standard pistons, we just replaced the borken one and are putting it back together now. no idea where you will get one tomei one though that will be tricky (and slow)

detonantion was the problem. It has burnt the side of the piston and pinched the ring. When it was compression tested all other cylinders were around 130 number 6 was 60 but went upto 100 with a squirt of oil down the plug hole.

I am having a RB30 bottom end built up so this will be fixed up and sold. Thats if I can find another piston. If not will be scraped.

Am running twin T3/T4 turbos and 17psi.

My engine was totally stock except for Tomei cams and pistons. Made 300rwkw with a TD06-20G for over 3 years reving to 8200. I went with the twins as i wanted more power. I didnt know what was done to the engine when I bought the car so just kept on adding parts and the power kept on going up.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.
