ok so i got leaking rings right so i got a loss of power which is not good, sdo im looking at replacing the rings but while im there i wanna know what other people think i should be replacing as well, i had a modest 200rwkw

engine in itself is stock but alot of bolt on bits , eg 3.5" turbo back, 3" intake, 2.5" stainless steel cooler piping GTR custom intercooler, unichip, boost cut defender, boost controller, thats all power wise

what would you recommended to do? im only looking at a possible 250rwkw ( at most for now)

was thinking new rings (of course) prob standard nissan ones (any thing better??)

and prob forged pistons (maybe not sure if i need it or thats going to far???)

what do you recommend i do or what parts do you reccomend i need to sustain a longer life engine, with increased power?

i know this has prob been covered before but the search didn't help me that much

A set of forged pistons will do you good in the long run and your engine will last you a long time.

New head gasekt - $400

Pistons/Rings - $1600

Machiening and balancing - $1000 - $2500 which can include other things that might need doing.

Standard rods will be fine at 250rwkw's

If your going to do it once mose well do it proerply and put a set of forged pistons in it :)

    • Placing bets on my stock oem RB25 rods, orrrrrrr........?  馃槀馃拃 for anyone interested, Insta is : @genuine_rb13 https://www.instagram.com/genuine_rb13?igsh=MTR5dGh4NWh0NHg3cA==
    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong 馃槀馃槀 and thank you brother 馃檹馃徏 jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 馃槄 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't 馃馃徏馃槉      
    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
    • Yes, so it won't work for places with no photos on the net. I would have said that there are no photos of the inside of my house on the net, but....then I realised that my kids' parties would have had bazzillions of photos of the living spaces, kitchen etc put on insta and other shitmedia. So... you can see how insidious it is.
