Hmm I think you should get those J. Trev can bore your block to the new spec. Gonna take time for other stuff anyways. Way way way cheaper than a set of forged and their NEW. Worth it IMO.

They come with wrist pins and pin retainers?

Size matched rings avail?

I bought new pistons myself few weeks ago and I want to warn you - Nissan now has only two types (codes) for pistons, not three like they used to have. There were 0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 pistons earlier, and now, I believe, they have left only 0.5 and 1.0... And the codes changed. So I ordered 1.0 pistons, but received 0.5 pistons, because the new 1.0 code belongs to old 0.5 pistons, so I received what they have left on the warehouse under this code. Anyway I've found a non-bored engine block for those pistons and building it now. Just be careful with that.
But I don't know - maybe it's european thing...

I tried ordering DE pistons through Nissan, and they now only do the standard size. Kinda sucks as need to do at least a 20thou over-bore.

Custom CPs for me it is smile.gif

yea exactly my nismo jp contact said no std size avail only 0.5 and 1.0 avail

And the new code for 1.0 is now the exact same code that was for 0.5.. So when you order 1.0 they just look at the warehouse, found an old 0.5 kit with the maching code and send it out. Like in my case smile.gif
