Urgently Looking For Rb25 Neo Forged Pistons

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...

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
