Hi guys,

Just quickly.....

I have my engine in pieces and was going to use the stock pistons again because they were in great condition... I now want to put forgies in.. I use my car for work and need this engine back in one piece ASAP!!

WHERE the hell can I find someone who makes pistons for the RB25DET on the net????

Do the pistons for the RB26 fit the RB25?? I'm sure they have the same bore...

Any help would be great..

Thanks guys....

I'm looking and looking on the net... I'll check out those guys you noted...

I've found that Weisco make them but they are $960 american... sound a bit pricy.. I know I can get them cheaper then that..

I personally wouldn't go forged pistons UNLESS the power I was making requires forged rods.

Stock pistons providing the comp ratio is good (no higher than 8.5:1) is reliable, as always it depends on the tune, forged pistons wont protect you from a bad tune/detonation.

thanks for the offers.. I've actually found some Weisco forgies... (private sale, new in box... $900.. Bargain!!

The reason I'm getting forgies is because I'm building the block up for higher boost and I don't want to have to strip the block again so while I'm rebuilding the motor, I might as well do it properly....

Thanks for the advice though guys...

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
