Dilemma

[BAMR33]

r32 rb25de head on the existing rb25 block and transfer all the existing rb20 stuff over to the new head, injectors, manifolds, ignition system etc. except use the rb25 turbo you talking about having.

rb25de head: ~$1000

GT-R valve springs: ~$100

Head Gasket: ~$500

That's assuming the rb25 bottom end is ok

[linedup33]

ive got a rb25de head for half that price...let me know ur keen

It doesn't even classify as a back yarder.

The individual who assembled the motor simply did not care.

[turboedsloth]

no love wat so ever in the assembly of that motor. chances are the last owner puttin the frickin thing together whilst waiting for the ad break to finish on tv

How much did you pay for it? $2000?

You get what you pay for buddy, I hope you disclose all this when you go to on-sell the car to some poor unsuspecting person.

Nope.. because the job will be done properly this time..

With proper parts.. and tools.. So there is no need to hide it.. the will be done right this time..

Really doubt this work was done by a workshop...sounds like an insurance job by the previous owner to me.

My thoughts too.

I doubt the car could have run well enough to be able to be stolen in the first place.

Weetbix...........absolutely no taste............Cocoa Pops or Froot Loops at least.

Some shops get customers that bring in a wheelbarrow full of bits and peices and say 'Build me a car!'.

The shop says 'No way', so the moron wheels his barrow to the next shop, eventually someone will say OK.

To be fair, it happens with mod parts as well, some shops will sell you anything, other shops try to tell you what will work and what is a waste of $$$$.

This was taken out from cylinder 1

The diameter of the pison is 85.95mm

The diameter of the bore is 86.05mm (standard bore is 86.0 - somone has been playing with toys they shouldnt of been!)

On the face of the piston is has imprinted "STD" and a big "1" in the middle. Mean anything?

the question I have is..

are these forgies?

What brand?

This is the side.. of the piston.. (sorry it is blurry) but on the black graphite part there used to be a print of some sorts in the shape of a square standing on a corner

i.e

Anyone make over sized pistons to fid the now larger bore?

Anyonw know prices?

Cheers

[zebra]

Id say, go and get the bores taken out .5mm over standard. Pretty sure every piston manufacturer has that oversize eg. ACL, Aries, HKS, CP, JE etc etc

Prices are average around 1200-1400 bucks for pistons and rings.

Rebore would be around $300ish

Getting Pistons fitted to Rods - Around $200

Hope you find this useful

Yeah mate.. all bits help..

Can anoyone confrim they are forgies though?

[Beer Baron]

well they are definately not stock pistons, but I have no idea of brand. the skirts don't look that hot. and I don't think they are forged.

[Blitz]

Werd, the skirts look thin as.

It's 0.1mm difference! - you have to have some clearance between the piston and bore. The spec for bore is nominal - there will be some manufacturing variations.

True.. of MAX .05 (according to the workshop manual)

So the pistons would of been fine if they didnt f*ck around with the bore Dodgy deadshits!

there defiantly forgies. The piston you have are sold by precision performance. they retail for $1500. they are some chinese brand but dont be to worried there no to bad really. these are mine that we put in rb30's for a cheaper optioned rebuild. Just put it all back together and drive it, as lond as there not damaged it will be sweet. cheers

[Beer Baron]

well, what piston to bore clearance are you aiming for?
