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.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
