I am running the venolia's in an RB25, I chose them for the thick ring lands...and the fact that I am using the moly rings the thickness of them is not as important as using other ring types.

Yet to have a problem, and running almost 5,000 km's without a problem, and they are quiet!!! Well for forged.

I am also only running standard boost until suck time as I can afford the ancilliaries, but when you own a house and have a missus...the car comes a distant 3rd...

How good are the times now when we have a large choice of pistons and at very good prices unlike the old days(not long ago) when we had to pay a couple of months wages for Jap pistons and they are no better and in many cases the same piston re boxed.Best of all is all brands are very good.

We used to have upto 12weeks wait also and this was only around 2000.

im running trust\grex pistons. at 1.9thou what they recomend.

very nice piston.

although the rings are really expencive. i had to freshen up my motor due to a turbo blow up.

600bucks for rings.

no blow by at all. dead quiet.

a friend of mine uses je in his rb31dett 4thou clerance. aparently it brieths quite heavily at 1.8bar. although it does make 520kwatw

general rule of thumb is the tighter fitting the piston

(forged) the better the materials and the better it will perform,with less blowby

I have built a GTR engine recently using arias pistons and the rings supplied.

The engine has only covered 800ks and is using oil excessively.

All the rings seem to be leaking to some extent.

Anyone else care to share any problems with these rings?

Did you check piston to bore clearances ? Ring gaps ?

Piston to bore clearence and ring gap is fine.

This is for an engine at work. (im an engine reconditioner)

Not sure what oil was used, its a customers engine. I will ask him though.

The bores were wet with oil. :)

Just seems a few people have said the standard arias rings are crap and was looking for simmilar cases etc.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      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

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      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.
