Steve,

Sorry should have said that the $900 was for cast ones, without rings. I am looking for a forged set as close to $900 as possible, more importantly is getting the sooner rather than cheaper because the insurance co. is paying.

Butters,

The engine was damaged in the accident as the timing belt was cut and valves bounced off the top of pistons. The dodgy insurance company wanted to just replace one piston and leave it at that. I explained to them that the other pistons must have also recieved damage and addtional stress since the engine was under load and doing several thou rpm. I am insisting they also replace the camshafts and valves since the forced of contact on the piston is transfered through to the cam lobe. I want nothing less than a proper engine rebuild and thats just what I am getting.

While I think of it whats the damage on a set of mild camshafts to suit & where do you get them from?

$900? I doubt you'll get them for that, even at trade price, unless there made in Hong Kong;)

Nah true that.

Rocket industries flog Arias for about $1280ex , on low volume purchases (like just one set) pricing is alot keener if you setup an account or buy regularly. They come with rings and pins as well though. Have to be the best forged piston spec I've seen and they are the cheapest.

thats crap eh.

Damn insurance companies.

Friend of mine is going through simular thing. Her water pumped died. which caused the engine to over heat and kill the heads.

The waranty is only covering the water pump replacement. She has to fork $$$ for the heads to be done.

They claim the only cover the faulty part. Claim if she had stopped it straight away, no damage would have been done.

I reckon thats pretty rough.

INSURANCE companies are maggots

I fought tooth and nail with my assessor, hi manager,etc. I ended up going to the secutary of complaints.. and guess what he was a tosser as well.

So in the end you cant win.

    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
