Arias, ACL, Venolia, JE, CP, JUN, Cosworth, HKS, GREX, APEXi......... Take your pick.

With the information you just gave us (nothing), any of the above will be fine.

I'm using Hyundai Sonata (2 Litre) pistons for my build-up.

They're the right size and cheap too!

Wait a few months, an Indonesian company has come up with a breakthrough in metallurgy, and are making great pistons that are competitively priced. OE manufacturers will be using these pistons in new cars, and will force aftermarket piston manufacturers out of business!

They are called parenthial pistons, and use stoichometric heat treatment for toughening to ensure that there ductile strength matches the elastic region under compression... i have seen the phase diagram, its impressive stuff. They are also really light because of their berillium content

yes they come with rings and gudgeon pins as well as circlips that hold the pins in .as far as i know all aftermarket pistons come with rings and gudgeon pins .

rocket industries in sydney are the austra;lian distributors for arias , the above price is trade price

I've had a fair amount to do with fitting numerous brands of forged pistons, and seen how they've performed. All the name brands are much of a muchness, in terms of finish etc. The arias are probabley the best designed, in terms of their ring land design. ACL have recently released a range, they are actually Ross pistons just re-branded, they are real good value for money at under $1000, and a fair amount lighter than the Arias. Just my two cents worth.

:jk: ...I thought id get in first as normally on these sorts of threads someone sooner or later mentions eutectic pistons etc etc.

Seriously though, having worked in Indonesia i wouldnt be using any parts manufactured there, quality control is a bit of an issue :Oops:

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      It doesn't really answer your question...but is the head unit full android or just android auto, are you happy with how quickly it boots and responds, and do you have a link?  If we can identify good Android alternatives it will really help people stuck with Japanese screens. Did it have a separate reverse camera input so you would replace the factory one, or are you just going without now...that would be a pretty big steps back. And finally, do you have a picture of the "wire" that you can't plug in? Most likely it is some sort of aerial that is not too important eg japanese traffic or am radio or something if you haven't noticed a functionality issue

      For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
