Looking for some build suggestions

My engine started knocking over 4000 rpms on the last day out for the year before going into winter storage( go figure) and will be pulling it out soon, it is a N1 engine if it  matters. I already have a pair of GT2860R-5s along with some 720cc injectors, Link G4 pnp ecu. The goal was for about 500hp and I am debating on how serious of a rebuild I will be getting into, this car is a nice summer day kind of car and not a track car and I am not all that interested in a huge hp monster build. New bearings, upgrade oil pump to spline drive, oem rods with arp bolts but I cant decide on what to do for pistons. The only experience I have with forged pistons was with subaru engines and everyone I had seen with forged pistons was noisy when cold and used a lot more oil compared to oem or is will that be something I will need to live with for reliability sake?

      Brake pad Compound suggestion

      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!
