If you're building it to last, sure...

But whilst you're there you should do the oil pump, all the mods, custom sump, forged pistons etc...

I wouldn't trust 20 year old pistons to last, even with fresh rings and hone...

My "stock" bottom end RB30, will be exactly that... STOCK...

I'll let you all know how many minutes it lasts... :)

Yeh it adds up, I have most the stuff already, i have an ACL rebuild kit, rings, pistons and bearings, using this is still cheaper then buying new rings and bearings. When all I will be paying for is a hone and bore.

If I use my ACL rebuild kit, all I have to pay for is crank colar and new head studs. Alot cheaper then rings and bearings and use stock 20 year old pistons, so it really isnt cheaper for me anyway as I have some of the stuff.

Still in two worlds.

If you have the stuff... PUT IT IN!

Geebus christ, if I had all that stuff my block would have been out and honed and bored long long ago.

Also, just use standard head bolts. Don't worry about going the extra cost on studs if it'll save you a touch now.

      Returning after a long time!

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
