Hey guys / girls,

Stripping my rb25 motor down tomorrow and just spoke with the mechanic and he mentioned that forged pistions might have to come from the states and can take 6 weeks to get here?

Surely there is a website or w/shop down south that sells the above parts that I need here in Australia?

Does anyone have any recommendations on who I can speak to or web links I can have a look at to get the parts?

Any help will be really appreciated. I tried looking but I'm not having much luck :rofl:

Wow thanks SO much!

I am sticking with the 25 now shanef. Too freaking hard to go the 30 bottom end here in Darwin, I just gave up. I had 365hp before she blew so that's enough... if I change my mind down the track (which I don't think I will) I will do something about it then :D

Edit: There is a gallery of photos from the rebuild. Just follow the link in my sig to find them. I haven't updated them since the engine was pulled out. I might go to the w/shop this w/end if they managed to strip it down today, and get some more pics to upload!

RB30 isn't difficult..

Quite suprising how easy it is actually. :D

Depends on how motivated your mechanic is. Some have been in the job too long and can't be bothered with something they haven't done before.

Haha... It's been off the road over 3 months now and I just don't care. Even if it went back to what it was I just want the bloody thing back!! I don't have any other trnasport apart from it so catching lifts or having to borrow cars is starting to shit me right off :D

I sell all of this stuff as well. The pistons can come locally but most people prefer to wait the 4 weeks for JE, ROSS, or CP.

For JE pistons with rings and pins, eagle rods, and HKS camshafts you will be looking at $4000

The Cometic head gasket with VRS set will set you back $700.

Thats fairly exxy..

I picked up my rb25 cometic mls for $150 (through the machinist) and vrs kit for $275 from nissan.

I went the Rb25 hg as it works just as well and the rb26/30 cometic gasket was double the price.

Thanks heaps for all the replies guys, and all the PM's. I'll write everything down and add up my figures. I am not after brand names, I am after reliability. If there is something there that does the exact same job that the HKS / Tomei etc do... then I'll take it.

I have heard the stock rods and cams are both good for 500hp? Has anyone else heard this? I am still another 100hp off that figure so I could save some $$ in that area if the rumors are true.

To everyone that PM'ed me, I'll get back to you in the next couple of days.

Thanks again for all your help. I wont worry about o-rings either. Sounds like they aren't needed.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)

      Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T 1999

      By Bman1296 · Posted

      For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
