Nitto Forged Pistons - Nissan RB25DET - Skyline (R33) / Stagea (WC34)
A set of six forged pistons for the Nissan RB25DET as fitted to the R33 Skyline GTS-T and early (pre-NEO) Stagea. They suit a rebuilt standard-stroke bottom end, from a strong street car through to a drag or circuit build running serious boost.
Choose the bore size to suit your block. 86.5 mm is a 0.020" oversize with a +19 cc dome; 87.0 mm is a 0.040" oversize with a +18 cc dome. Have your engine builder measure the bores before ordering.
Every Nitto piston is produced by CP Carrillo in the USA to Nitto's own specification. They are forged from CP's low-silicon 2618 alloy in the Turbo HD forging, paired with a PVD-coated ring set for tight bore sealing under boost, and fitted with CP's 9310 wrist pins, which are Rockwell tested, case hardened and cryogenically treated.
Note: Installation by a professional is recommended. Engine internals must be measured and set up by a qualified engine builder.
