Hey guys,

Ready to order pistons for an rb25/30 build i'm doing. Purchasing JE customs for the combo. Question is what compression do we want.... Want to run a gt35/40 sized turbo at around 18 - 20 psi to make around the 450hp mark at the wheels. Any one with a similar combo making similar power thats been running good for a period of time?

Looking to upgrade the camshafts also. What make of cam are you guys running in your cars?

Planning to use acl race series main and big end bearings, anyone heard anything bad about them or have a make that you would recommend?

Kind regards,

Tas

I decided to go 9.5:1 (Custom CP's) instead of the standard 8.5:1 as I plan on using high octane fuel at all times and possibly E85 down the road. Even if I have to back off the timing a little it will still help having a little extra compression.

As far as the cams go, I have gone with Tomei Poncams and matched them with Tomei Valve Springs. Depends how much the car is used for everyday stuff where you want to eliminate noise and smooth drivability to some point.

I used ACL bearings all round and wouldn't even look at anything else.

i see, we are thinking on using the 8.5:1 and the car will probably only ever run on 98.... i have performance springs (brand name) and am yet to decide on cams the car will be driven almost daily.. and i am gonna go with the ACL bearings also which tomei pon cams do you have ?

      Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.

      Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old

      Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.

      I _think_ that one has a christmas tree or some other retainer spike into a hole in that panel under it. Come in under it with thin scredrivers and just pry it gently up. If you rip the ears off the retainer pin....so what? Just stick it back down after with a bit of race tape and carry on with life.
