Hi all,

I have a one-month window coming up in a few days during which time I plan on getting my engine rebuilt properly. I am desperately seeking a set of ARIAS RB25DET *NEO* forged pistons; these must be a copy of the OEM piston, not an off-the-shelf variety (these are all for '33).

I am aware of a set of CP NEO pistons being sold on here however they are 86.5mm (first oversize) which my block already is, so I would need a new block to use those.

I have contacted SPOOL imports but the guys is on annual leave. Ordering through an Australian supplier who doesn't have any in stock will incur the 4-6 week wait while they are made in and delivered from ARIAS' facility in the US.

Anyone know where I can get a set at short notice? Yes I've tried ebay...

cheers

if you honestly need them just do a google search and ring/email every single shop you find.

this is what i would do, even email ARIAS direct? might find they have a set there/ or being made as we speak

air express ahould only take 5-7days max?

I will try; the engine builder I consulted says that these are a custom order and that ARIAS do not have any stock. Which is the same story I seem to be getting from the other retailers...

ohh bummer then

i guess asking arias yourself could be the only answer to see if there available or not.

not looking at other brands?

Yes looking at other brands... only other ones I've heard of are Wiseco and CP; CP are apparently OK but I haven't asked the builder about Wiseco. I wouldn't even know where to get these from as I don't know if they have the custom measurements on file for RB25 NEO.

Pistons can be organized VERY quickly.

Ring up Quantum Racing in Brisbane, they're the CP importers, give them the specs and tell them its a rush order and you need them as fast as humanly possible.

With custom pistons they can be done very quickly, the price goes up by a percentage based on how rushed they are. With JE from memory its 50% surcharge for a 48hour turnaround, then express air mail which takes about a week door to door.

Expect to spend more than $900, but you will get them done in time.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
