Errr, you are having a joke  :Oops:

White smoke form your exhaust, suggest moisture, nothing else. Where that moisture is coming from is the source of the problem, and not necesarily the pistons.

its not a joke and thats what we thought moisture when we first seen it but couple weeks later it got worse and wose....

it smells like burning oil... i'll post a pic of what happens when piston number 6 doesnt have compression, it leaks oil and goes throught the turbo intecooler, actuator, intake etc: and when it goes throught the turbo the turbo is hot and it burn is which makes white smoke out the exhaust.

it is no fault mate..

one mechanic told you it's a design fault and you think it's true?

as mentioned, if it was a fault, then why was it used on the R34 GTT.. and all the way up to it's last build date of what.. 1999?

there is nothing wrong with the design of the RB30, 20 red top, 20 silver top and 25...

sure they differ a little from one another but as you can see, they all have the throttle body in the middle of cylinders 3 and 4...

just have a look at these forums to see how many guys/girls have the stock plenum and running huge numbers.

look at the gibson racing team red top rb20 using stock plenum and some ridiculous numbers..

the only fault of the stock plenum is that is isn't as pretty as front facing..

By the way i was talking about stock engines. gibson racing team ? they most likley have forged pistons in their which can handle detination an they proberly have it tuned right, but with the standard ecu, internals, intercooler etc:

you'r got more chance of looseing a piston then a rubilt motor. thats why i mentioned it beause guilty beause he's got a stock engine. which means its at more risk of detination etc:

that's a cheap pump i'd be going fuel pump then front mount then avc-r...

my advice!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
