perhaps try CP, Arias etc... someone will have some available. I thought ACL did em as they used to have a listing for em.

You may have to adjust the size but it will be cheaper than Nissan OEM

You have the ring sizes obviously?? Just ring around and see if you can get a match...

Good luck finding aftermarket unless things have changed recently (last two weeks) you can do the ring around and waste your time or you can jjus order genuine nssan rings which btw are cheaper than aftermarket anyway,

Will be 5 to 10 days from japan think last time I paid 280.

Btw standard size is 86mm x 1.2 , 1.5 , 2.8

Hope that helps.

I would use the factory rings if you are keeping the standard original pistons.

Your piston to bore clearances are going to be all whack anyway so there is no need to overcomplicate the process.

  • 2 weeks later...

does anybody know the price comparison for aftermarket rings & OEM rings? i got std size bore forgies going on rebuild next week.

can i use my previous rings? its just 50.000 kms with normal boost anyway, any risk of re-use it?

and also, anybody knows the part number for OEM head stud & main stud for RB25det neo? i've been looking for it, but got no clue at all.

any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Don't use your old rings. You probably shouldn't be going standard bore either but if it'll hone up to an accurate piston to bore clearance then it'll be ok. Just never seen one come out perfect after 50k though.

Chances are the old rings won't fit the new pistons

Chances are the new pistons come with rings anyway so why would you even consider it?

They don't have studs, they use bolts from factory and Nissan can help you with them.

If you get stuck for a part number and need help ring 07 32907890 and ask for Alan or Joel

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
