what thread is that?

there are 100's of RB's running around with Arias pistons man.

Lots of cars here in Vic including mine. No problems.

As im sure you would know, no piston will last if you have detonation.

Peter, I'm pretty sure that HKS and other Jap branded pistons are made by one of the US manufacturers anyway.

I have no idea where there made but buying a Japanese name brand like HKS,TOMEI,TRUST etc gives you a good guaranty of quality as there name rides on it and everything i have seen from them have been premo quality. But if your trying to say that Arias are the same pistons as HKS, cos there made in the USA i think your sadly mistaken. America make some awesome engine components and at the other end of the scale some s..t stuff as well, so where its made doesn't worry me more the quality of it.

Again this is only my opinion cheers

So r32-gts when is the gtr going to see the track it must be getting dirty in the shed by now :)

I agree with you totally...anything from HKS, Tomei, JUN, NISMO, Turst etc that I have ever seen has been excellent quality. Actually, I don't think I have seen anything

(not just car parts) from Japan that weren't the best around.

But...a couple of years ago when I was enquiring about pistons for an RB26, I was told that a couple of the Jap brands pistons were made by Arias. (Nick Arias wouldn't tell me which ones for obvious reasons) I haven't even seen an HKS piston, so I don't know if it was them or not. It would just be annoying paying 500bucks for 6 HKS logs...that's all.

the guy who built my engine said that Arias made some of the best pistons he had ever seen...

one thing to note tho... the clearances listed on the instructions maybe a little big, you may want to run a slightly smaller clearance... ie mine were done to the specs on the sheet and it is pretty noisy on cold start up etc

but I agree with the comments here... just pick a tried and tested brand and you can't go wrong

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
