Nitto?

[yogibear]

ok starting to build up a rb26 on a N1 block , i wanted to use HkS 2.8L stroker But, they have discontinued the step 3 gear , i fairly sure the only differences between step 2 and step 3 was the gudgeon pin size and the rods? can any one confirm?

so i was looking at Nitto and wondering how thier gear holds up? bit disappointing they don't make a 2.8L tho if their gear is strong i guess it doesn't matter so much.

so what i am asking is basically how does Nitto compare with Tomel , HKS and the like of jap brands?

have u even read any other topics in forced induction this morning? the one below urs shows a r34 2.7L making 1014 HP with Nitto everything

+1 for nitto parts, i use their I beam rods and oil pump in my gtr.

They seem to be made very well. the i beam rods are nice and thick.

If the 2.7 kit was available when i built my engine i would of gone with that. From memory its about $8000

To me, the Nitto products tick all the boxes, hence why we support the brand:-

Good value for money and realistically priced

Full billet, full counter weight crank for best rpm capability and harmonics

Quality forged piston with low silicon content to handle hp

I-Beam rods with quality bolts

Can handle plenty of boost, rpm and power

i have nitto forged pistons and rods going into my 2630 i compared them to the cp shit (and i mean shit) and they r way f**king better and hold heaps more power. the rods even have this little channel drilled thru them to get oil thru coz the rb30s dont come with them from the factory.

i am sure they make some good stuff

but until my machinist says " this is the shit to buy!"

then ill wait till he says that

when he says it then ill buy it

the step 3 differences were:

gudgeon pin size larger on S3 pistons (obviously comes with rods and pins to suit).

also, the S3 pistons have 3 coatings on them. off the top of my head they had moly coated skirts, titanium coated ring lands and ceramic coated tops/crowns.

crank is the same from memory and rods are the same too apart from pin size.

the S3 kit was fantastic no doubt but the S2 kit is still a serious piece of gear. I wouldn't hesitate in using one for a big build.

CP pistons are shit? Every day you seem to amaze me...

CP's are shit hey?

Well, glad you have the facts on that one. Go look at how many GTR's use CP pistons without issue. Also, have a look at which drag cars use CP, you'd better email those teams and give them the heads up aswel.

hahahahahaha......ahh the beauty of internet forums.

Last time i checked Godzilla Motorsport use CP and they are where in the world in drag times and make how much power. I use CP in my engine which makes 700hp at the wheels and does it with easy and i have a mates GTR engine that uses them and that makes 1000hp at the wheels and it does it easy. I dont dout that the Nitto parts are good but CP anit shit.

[Beer Baron]

yeah I wouldn't say CPs are shit. they are built to a price and for the money they cost they do a fine job. they are nothing super special but they certainly aren't rubbish either. plenty of cars use them without problem.

[Bliksem]

Certainly no dramas with CP's here for the past 3 years either....

As for Nitto, I wouldnt hesitate to use it after reading all the positive feedback its received so far.......

This is how perfctly good parts get into trouble. The Nitto gear seems good quality, has a few cars out there doing good things and are a credible product in their own right.

They could very well be better then CP or Arias. But that doesnt make the other brands sh1t. They other brands are proven in so many builds to the point that the same bad tune, wayward sprk plug tip, failed fuel pump etc would kill a motor with Nitto pistons as quickly as CP

I question having a rod and piston strong enough to do 200hp a cylinder in a 100hp a cylinder application. Its good, but surely it maybe just adds weight, cost or something to have so much head room.

Its been proven before that std rods are good for many GTR builds, basic forged pistons are good for serious engine builds and the basic R33-34 crank is a good thing. Is 8k for 100-150cc worth it over a build using $1200 pistons, balances std rods and std crank (hell a new one from Nissan is $1000)

So, if cash is no limit...go for it....but if you end up with 330awak turbos then what benefit is all the slightly better gear.

On a +400rwkws build I suppose is when you have to start looking at the positive trade offs of some of the Nitto or other slightly better quality gear

LOL, this if course the opinion of a guy that has never built an engine and drives a std RB20 "crate motor"

[yogibear]

ok thanks heaps , and lol cp are f*king great for the money its what i have atm.

i am chasing big power i plan on runing a HKS T51R SPL, so dont worry all they good parts it all wont be goin on a silly sized turbo and making 330rwkw.

thanks heaps guys

nitto pistons are JE pistons made to nitto specs

[fatz]

shame dirty shed is not around any more

he would have made this more fun

[tridentt150v]

so who put the 'hea' in CP?

absolutely right. I'd treat nitto as a well priced high end option (ie for 5% of people) rather than a mass option.

when looking into the race regs for production cars, nitto were the only forged rods and pistons that came close to stock weight....all other brands were 15-25% lighter than standard. Great for me because I have to run stock weight, but its just overhead and overkill for 95% of people.

How many 1000hp engines are there in Australia?

they aint shit but they also aint on any of my build lists for one reason.... preference.... and everyones is different.
