does anyone have any information about standard or forged pistons, I never knew if i had forgies or not so I was told to take the spark plug out and have a look to see what was on top of the piston.

there are only 2 possible things you could see and that wil tell you either if you have forgies or stock pistons,

outcome 1: you have a little blister on top of the piston which indicates that the piston was frm an injection mould which means they are stock,

outcome 2: piston has a little indentation which means the piston was spon on a lathe making it forged.

from what i can see by taking out the spark and shining a light down the hole, is a little ring the size of a 5cent piece and some writing which looks to say 05U

i have no idea what this means and havnt come to any conlusions cause of this, if anyone has any pictures of some stocky or forged pictures from top would be much appreciated....

no idea. the only reason i said that is that standard GTI-R pistons have '54C' written on them as this is nissans code for that variant of SR20, makes sense the other nissan pistons would have a similar code.

forged ones will generally not have any writing on the top of the piston.

and the 05U would be 0.5mm OS perhaps??

No....05U is part of the Nissan part number for the piston. It will be something like xxxxx-05Uxx. I believe it identifies it as an R32 GTR part.....certainly an R32 GTR flywheel has 05U cast into it, as does the standard RB26 block (N1 block has a different number). Usually the last 2 numbers after the '05U' will be different for o/size pistons.

yup "05U" appears on alot of R32 GTR part numbers :)

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
