Since it is unlikely that I'll ever own a skyline, getting a piece of one is the next best thing. What I'm looking for is a piston that is damaged to the point where it will never be put in an engine again, basically a bad-a$$ paperweight. Obviously I'm not going to buy a whole engine just to rip a piston out, and I'm not going to buy a set of aftermarket rods cause they're mad expensive, plus they've never been in the car! . If anybody has done an rb engine rebuild maybe you have one lying around in the garage that you wouldn't mind selling cheap? I'll pay shipping as well of course. I've already asked import monster if they could hook me up but its been a few weeks and they aren't getting back to me (too busy finding parts to actually fix cars I guess haha). I was hoping I could find someone in the US/Canada who might have one (cheaper than shipping overseas).

Some of you might think this is a stupid idea, but I just thought It'd be really cool to have one on my desk..

Hopefully someone can help me out! I've posted this on a couple other forums as well. either reply or send me a pm if you have one, or a lead!

You might have better luck posting in the RB forums. Or maybe check the classifieds sections. Probably someone over there who could hook ya up.

Digger can get you a Zoomer piston when he blows it.

Eat me, Mike...LOL.

I've already done my tri-annual oil change, thank you.

I have a lot of them. Even some that are just itty bitty bits. However, they are in City of Industry, and I haven't been there in about 2 years.

The stock ones are cool, because they are oil cooling channel pistons. They have a space under the crown where oil flows though them that is sprayed from the oil squirters.

If I ever remember in my old age, I have to see if I can get one.

I had an FJ with so much blowby I never changed the oil. I just kept dumping it in. I used all these half quarts left over from past oil changes. With all the different oil I dumped in it probably made like 12W43 semi-synthetic. Damned thing was still fast, though. FJ don't give a f***, it's crazzzy. :confused:
