Is that for cast Nissan factory type pistons or would they be forged?

That sounds like a good deal. But definately look into doing a GB on some forged pistons.

Most forged piston sets I've seen for the RB come with rings and pins for a little over 750ish. For the extra 100 bucks forged is a good option.

Glad to see you guys making RB motors more affordable.

I believe Nismo would be unnecessarily expensive with other quality pistons out there. CP and JE pistons are good products that won't bust the bank and have a very good reputation behid them.

Nice to have a company open to feedback. While you're at it, supplying race bearings and ARP hardware for RB rebuilds. For someone without alot of connections to parts suppliers it's hard to find the correct parts, number, and sizes for each motor.

Keep up the good work.

+1 for CP pistons.

I've spent sometime working with my supplier finding parts and etc, but if you guys can get better pricing that'd be great.

I'm also looking for main/rod bearings, main/rod bolts, head studs. I already plan to get my gasket set, water pump and oil pump from you guys.

Large order discount??

i think i read somewhere that you can use factory forged pistons out of a 2nd gen turbo toyota mr2. I think they use the rb25 crank with them. please correct me if i am wrong.

Does this includes rings and pins, I believe Weisco pistons usually come with rings and pins. Thats a good price.
