87mm Pistons For A Na

[central coast person]

well to get the pistons as forged it was a lot of money that would not make a money to ratio match in power

it was like $3200. (not worth the money)

40thou was big enough for the 25DE but again i was happy with the 50thou buy. My uncle will be boreing out my cylinders and all that as hes done lots for skylines so i have good trust in his years of experience that like he said "should be purring real nice soon"

so basicaly you will be paying x3 more for forged pistons ive worked out.

what will the end displacement be after its been bored out?

[central coast person]

when we get the pistons we have to see what they are like apparently they are CR 10:1 so we are not saying measurements at the moment, once thats finalized ill get all that sort or stuff up in this forum.

i need a head gasket but.....

now for all of you to send your advice and locations of head gaskets , im thinking of

Cometic Head Gasket 1.3mm - ( what the bore size equals )

its finally done now, some 50thou pistons sitting in my block and all my reconditioning done. ill be putting extractors and some other bits on and making sure it "purrring" good i am told, geez my uncle sure does like this car truthfuly he said most difficult car ever just because its a gts-4.

the invoice i have up is how much it cost which is good and he did the best ive seen and i dunno if its just because hes my uncles mate but hes a good mechanic, especially sourcing those sets of pistons

the bill is pretty good seeing as the work this engine needed after the bottom end was warped.

everyone post up about prices and such and in a week or two ill try get my car together in the spare time and get photos on here of the build and finished project to come. worst bit is i am doing all the labor here to save money but lose time.

con is my uncles name and its in running writing so its hard to see, its $1904

original price of pistons were $1400 alone but were found reduced from Nissan

give it a head job!

port it out, bigger cams, stronger valve springs etc etc

[central coast person]

yeah i guess so.

i feel like doing the exhaust system but am stumped about where to go and get it done......wish Kakimoto did a non turbo setup from catback.

splitfire coilpacks aswell annnddddd cant think of anything worth doing at the moment.

nothing stopping you using a turbo kakimoto exhaust. just youl be paying an arm and a leg for it. 2.5" would sound good

if you wanna go a custom job, i got a 2.5" catback made for mine, mild steel, mandrel bends and 2 straight through mufflers. sounds great

[central coast person]

i can get it from my friend for $750 2nd hand with no damage cat-back.

im also running through some things on the Icat at work and apparently whiteline rear and front swaybars are same for r33's gts and gtr so im working out if a gts4 will be the same. Also dba slotted which a r33 gts4 is the same rotors as a r32 gts-t

also have to look at tein coilovers i can get them for 1500 brand new (whole set) but need to know what ones to buy as the catalog doesn't have gts4 in it

[...Joshwa]

sheesh. . i just payed 1280 for a set of fully custom forged pistons. .

40 Thou over, positive dish, valve notches etc etc. .

[central coast person]

well i did get these pistons from Nissan (Japan) as a clearance item. They are a exact replica of the stock ones but 50thou and were $3000+ at full price. I would have got sleeves if i didn't find these.

i just contacted bendix and they don't know what pad a GTS-4 uses........... they just said take the pad off and size it up in the book.
