what thread is that?

there are 100's of RB's running around with Arias pistons man.

Lots of cars here in Vic including mine. No problems.

As im sure you would know, no piston will last if you have detonation.

have any of you guys look at hks from greenline ~$1390 plus shipping not bad for a very good pistons, as i'm current concidering which piston to buy myself. And i to have seen a few set of arias fail (mainly the rings) and a nasty looking set of cracked veriola's to.

Peter, I'm pretty sure that HKS and other Jap branded pistons are made by one of the US manufacturers anyway.

I have no idea where there made but buying a Japanese name brand like HKS,TOMEI,TRUST etc gives you a good guaranty of quality as there name rides on it and everything i have seen from them have been premo quality. But if your trying to say that Arias are the same pistons as HKS, cos there made in the USA i think your sadly mistaken. America make some awesome engine components and at the other end of the scale some s..t stuff as well, so where its made doesn't worry me more the quality of it.

Again this is only my opinion cheers

:)

So r32-gts when is the gtr going to see the track it must be getting dirty in the shed by now :)

I agree with you totally...anything from HKS, Tomei, JUN, NISMO, Turst etc that I have ever seen has been excellent quality. Actually, I don't think I have seen anything

(not just car parts) from Japan that weren't the best around.

But...a couple of years ago when I was enquiring about pistons for an RB26, I was told that a couple of the Jap brands pistons were made by Arias. (Nick Arias wouldn't tell me which ones for obvious reasons) I haven't even seen an HKS piston, so I don't know if it was them or not. It would just be annoying paying 500bucks for 6 HKS logs...that's all.

the guy who built my engine said that Arias made some of the best pistons he had ever seen...

one thing to note tho... the clearances listed on the instructions maybe a little big, you may want to run a slightly smaller clearance... ie mine were done to the specs on the sheet and it is pretty noisy on cold start up etc

but I agree with the comments here... just pick a tried and tested brand and you can't go wrong

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
