Been reading some build threads and wondered about the pro's and cons of getting your stock RB30 pistons ceramic coated as a pose to buying forged ones?? I am only looking around the 600bhp mark as I hope to keep the bottom end stock and cannot afford to start uprating the rest of the car to cope wth more power! I will be using an RB26 head with possibly mild cams.

Opinions on this subject please. And anyone used it would like to hear how you got on.

Regards my two closed topics.. I had read the guides for RB30 conversion (all last week!) and that was why I sarted my own topic.. I wanted a specific thread on those specific questions as there are lots of different opinions! Didn't think that was un- reasonable?

If you read the rb30 results thread you will quickly reliase 600bhp or 480rwhp

wont last on stock pistons reliably, rods need to keep revs sensible and boost low

sydneykid has defiantely shed light on this topic several times

maybe do a search in the rb30 section

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
