Nissan 200SX Club - South Africa

anyone had experience with the pistons from alert engine parts?
these auto power or power torque?

For a set of 6 for my RB30 motor they are R800 opposed to nissan genuine which are R8500 for 6 standard pistons - nissan have lost the plot.

how would the quality compare to the nissan ones?

I have used alert before, Nice, good service and cheap allot of spares place's buy from them.

Try the pistons out , Im not sure how they will handle boost but I wouldn’t spend R8500 on piston unless its forged

The nissan version for R8### wil also be for a n/a motor so no point in spending that. Get the alert jobbies and have then ceramic coated.

thing is...the genuine nissan na jobbies have proven to withstand 600hp

for three minutes?

just check these outs....
