personally i would just freshen the engine, ie new rings, bearings and stock pistons if need be (you might find that your current pistons are okay)

Then spend a bit on maintence, like water pump, timing belt etc etc.

That wont leave you with much more spending money, if you lucky you may have enough for a decent clutch, which i would definately replace.

After the rebuild your not going to have a big jump in power (maybe a slight gain cause you're going to have a healthy engine), but you will have a good base to start modding. You'll have a fresh neo engine which will hold 450rwhp if you wanted to push it that far, and a clutch that will take some abuse.

Its much easier bumping up the boost, or stick an ecu in, or changing to another turbo once all the maintence stuff is done first. Theres no point spending money on forged pistons etc, if you dont have the basic stuff like a decent clutch to hold the power.

Once its been rebuilt, save for a couple of months and put an exhaust, tune and more boost into it.

yeah but his saying if stock pistons are around 800 mark and forgies are around 1200 then might as well go for forgies as its stronger and when u pump the boost the pistons can take less wear . i mean if the standard pistons only cost 400 like adriano said then no question go for the standard but how much is it really for standard pistons?

his still running the stock turbo, stock exhaust and stock ecu, and hes set on the 5k budget, he wont be making over 450rwhp soon.

I think most people are hearing numbers like 400rwhp too much these days and its lost its impact and want more than that. There is no need for a skyline that is RWD driven daily to have over 450rwhp. It sounds gay i know, and i want to hit myself for saying that there is such a thing as too much power, but i dont think many people know what its like to drive a car with that sort of power. It extremely quick and dangerous in the wrong hands

If hes not going to try and break the speed of sound barrier anytime soon, i dont think theres a need for forgied pistons

He will be getting no where near 450rwhp with a stock turbo.Lucky to get 300rwhp.And correct me if im wrong but didnt the 34 neo come with GTR conrods?

Saying that go for the forged pistons,later down the track you might wont more power(ECU,exhaust,boost,bigger turbo)

With forged pistons and a good tune i cant see why that motor combo wont achieve mid 300s without blowing something up.

But im thinking waaaaaaay into the future. Ive said before in a previous thread figure out what you want from the car,then put you wallet on the table and see what you can afford.

EDIT: Is there a legitimate reason for a rebuild? eg: rings gone,spun bearing? If not leave it alone and spend your cash on the basics.

yeah they have gtr rods

but theres no need for forgied pistons for a mid 300rwhp car, way overkill.

Even if he wanted head room for future mods, he has to ask himself, do i eventually want over 450rwhp? If not dont go forgies, just my 2 cents

hey but whats the difference in price between forgies and standard pistons? if its jack all difference then why not? if u know where im coming from? it could even prove ur engines been rebuilt to be clean and in future when selling his car ppl might take it into consideration :blink: dunno just a thought

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.

      Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.

      Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:

      Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
