I quickly checked the Tomei price. Cooling channel version $3000 for the six, normal version $1780 delivered. the Mahle pistons are approx just over half as much.

As far as coating go I wasn't bothered with titanium this or that, or ceramic coating the crowns - more interested in a low friction coating for the piston sides.

HKS - part number 2103-RN017

lists as $2124 delivered.

2103-RN021 lists as $1585 delivered.

So the Japanese stuff doesn't appear to be particularly good value. It may, however, be more suited (As opposed to more generic although that is just conjecture)

How do Mahle pistons go for noise?

I'll have a look for Ross stuff also.

yeah you're right. for anyone without an unlimited budget these days the jap pistons are kind of priced out of reality. I can say though they are very good and seem to last. and very quiet too. dunno if that makes them worth twice or tripple the price of competing chinese and american pistons but they are good.

you can have the coatings done to any piston after you buy it but HKS (and others do offer various coatings) including a low friction molybdenum skirt coating like you want.

not sure of the mahle noise haven't paid attention to the one local engine I know with them in it. CPs seem to be not bad noise wise.

yeah I currently have tomei pistons in my car and as I said (and piggaz said) they are so quiet. you would not know the car had forgies and they are strong as they come. not cheap, but a pretty critical component so I don't mind spending a bit on pistons.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
