Been reading some build threads and wondered about the pro's and cons of getting your stock RB30 pistons ceramic coated as a pose to buying forged ones?? I am only looking around the 600bhp mark as I hope to keep the bottom end stock and cannot afford to start uprating the rest of the car to cope wth more power! I will be using an RB26 head with possibly mild cams.

Opinions on this subject please. And anyone used it would like to hear how you got on.

Regards my two closed topics.. I had read the guides for RB30 conversion (all last week!) and that was why I sarted my own topic.. I wanted a specific thread on those specific questions as there are lots of different opinions! Didn't think that was un- reasonable?

If you read the rb30 results thread you will quickly reliase 600bhp or 480rwhp

wont last on stock pistons reliably, rods need to keep revs sensible and boost low

sydneykid has defiantely shed light on this topic several times

maybe do a search in the rb30 section

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
