Nitto Forged Pistons - Nissan RB26DETT - Skyline GT-R (R32 / R33 / R34)
A set of six forged pistons for the Nissan RB26DETT in the R32, R33 and R34 Skyline GT-R. They suit a standard-stroke 2.6-litre rebuild and are just as at home in a hard-driven street GT-R as in a drag or time attack car.
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. For a 2.7L or 2.8L build, see the matching Nitto RB26 stroker pistons.
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.
