piston rings - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

I'm looking for rings for the standard pistons.
Nissan want too much money, does anyone know where i can get some cheaper?
I have checked the acl catalogue and the only listing is for the rb30e.
Anybody know if these will fit?

Nissan charge about 140 plus vat for a set of rings

I got quoted 250 euro plus 21%vat from Nissa Ireland.
Rhd japan will get ones for 131euro delivered to my door.
Where is the justice in the difference. Even if I paid 21% vat on 131euro, it's still cheaper than buying from Nissan Ireland.

Now I'm a little bit unsure about measuring for the bearings and rings.
All the bearings and rings that I have taken out have only had normal wear on them, except for the small score on the first cyclinder.
