Not sure that's true. ACL make rings for Ross Pistons as well as other big name piston manufactures. Mahle and JE also use Total Seal Ring sets. Different size/application pistons from the same supplier will have rings sourced from different places.

Also Trent - Did you give Performance Wholesale a try for the rings as being Australian distributor of Total Seal Rings they can have almost anything made. Shoot me an email if you are ever stuck again.

Martin your a legend... i did not know that. We use quite a bit of the the Total seal gear and i reckon the 300zx stuff i got for the RB26 trust pistons probably came through you via precision :P

I'm so busy at the shop i usually get the machinist just to add the components to the machining bill to save me chasing it up but of course i pay a premium for my lazyness..... I will drop you an email to save boring you on the phone and see if you can supply me in the future..

i figured out the spacer thickness

just a quick question :

the squirter make a (jet of oil) or (oil mist) , cause i would space and just offset the skirter abit to clear the piston skirt !!!

do i put it to shoot on the outside of the skirt or inside

i'm would go for the inside position !!!(red dot)

Blue : stock position

Red : option 1

Yellow : option 2

Red dot...just be careful of the rod clearance.

Riken rings are what im using on my JUN (cosworth) pistons in the current engine.

These guys got some total seal rings for me a couple of years ago... I had to replace the rings in some arias pistons and they were a strange size... I was really happy with the service and can recommend them, they had to get them custom made (in the US I believe) and shipped and it all took about a fortnight

greg, is that engine also running argo rods :devil:

It sure is Marko, even has a head on it but no sump as yet.. hopefully will have it back tomorrow. The diff is set up, still waiting for the seals from Nissan was the news I got today.

it looks the goods greg on that flow bench!

i cant believe the turnaround on those seals from nissan, they're obviously in no rush

diff seals are overnight...i just ordered and recieved a set...??? Kloster Nissan in Newcastle...overnight from melbourne.

HAHA any nissan part 5mins...... the factory and warehouse is round the corner :devil:

i wish this was the case, its with gregs diff guy...unfortunately out of both of our hands

The diff guy's getting them, not me. Nissan dealer here can be slow at times, usually quite good though. As long as I have a sump back tomorrow I don't mind. There's a reef in QLD waiting for me on Saturday, it's gotta be done before then.

The manifolds don't look the goods though Marko, bolting them up is like doing some "unporting", even with a good cleanup inside.

Anyway... back to pistons...

Did I mention Wiseco's are good?

Yeah Mahle make all the rings that come in ROSS piston sets for the RB engine and ACL also (because they are just a ROSS piston and Mahle own ACL now too) . JE use total seal in some of their applications but not all.

You work for performance wholesale don't you? Check with ROSS when you are back at work.

okay, im getting a rough idea of what pistons are better than others now. but when do you start having to go for the best eg. Jun or Trust??

im aiming at a max of around 350rwkw with a RB25/30. what pistons would be recomended for a power like this?(it will be street driven) JE or CP??

Wiseco. they run tight clearances, are quiet, strong, have a skirt coating and excelent rings. You can get a flat top to suit 25/30 that has a 22mm pin as well. I use them quite a bit. The Spool rods can be bored to take a 22mm pin no problem.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
