I blew the head up in my built rb25det (snapped cam shaft), now when I pulled the head off I noticed that piston to bore clearances were quite large, about ~10 thou or greater I would say, there is nothing wrong with this, the rings seal fine, the bores are perfect and it uses zero oil but it means louder than normal piston slap, and it still rattles when warm, the bottom end however is in brilliant condition.If you aren't familiar with piston slap basically all forged builds do this, just mine happens to be louder than most. Now that I have the engine out he car I figured I could upgrade the engine at the same time I am looking to build either an rb30 or 26 so I am selling the bottom end off.

Now the block is about 8000kms old, had no issues when running apart from the loud piston slap, would be suitable for very high temp/boost applications due to the clearances, when it was running it was making 236rwkw on 18psi with a high flowed rb20 turbo and had zero issues. Here is the receipts for the work done, I personally did not perform this work but the previous owner did.

Has arias forged pistons, arp rod bolts, stock rods and crank, new bearings. Now the motor cost $5.5k to build but I just want it gone so I am very negotiable, so lets say I'll put the price as $1k for an easy sale, I am open to offers however . Here are the receipts for the work, if you want to confirm any of the details with the work shop then feel free to give Rob at Sabbadin a call.

If I get no interest in the motor I will pull the pistons out and sell them.

Still got it, had a few low ball offers for less than what a stock motor goes for!

C'mon people the pistons alone are almost worth what I am asking.

Just a thought mate. How are you measuring the piston to bore clearance with pistons still in block?. I had arias pistons in my Sr, and the crown of the piston ( above top ring) is actually a smaller diameter than the rest of the piston. Which when I checked when I pulled the head off, seemed like I has waaaay too much clearance. But once had pistons out clearance was ok. Good luck with the sale!

    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
