Genuine Nissan Piston Set of 6 with Pins (STD Grade 1) TB42 - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ 1987-1997

This is a complete set of 6 Genuine Nissan New Old Stock (NOS) pistons, supplied with pins, specifically for the TB42 petrol engine found in Nissan Patrol GQ Y60 models. As a genuine OEM component, this set guarantees the original factory specifications for material composition, weight, and dimensions, ensuring a balanced and reliable engine rebuild.

Pistons are a core component located within the engine's cylinders, forming the moving floor of the combustion chamber. They are typically replaced during a major engine rebuild due to wear from high kilometres or damage like cracked ring lands caused by detonation or overheating. Common symptoms of piston failure include excessive oil consumption resulting in blue exhaust smoke, low engine compression, poor performance, and a distinct knocking or slapping noise from the engine.

Product Features

• Genuine Nissan Quality: New Old Stock (NOS) parts ensure unmatched quality, material integrity, and precise fitment.
• Engineered for Durability: Manufactured to original factory specifications to withstand the extreme heat and pressure of the combustion process in your TB42.
• Complete Set: Supplied as a full set with matching pins, ensuring balanced performance across all cylinders for a smooth-running engine.
• Installation Note: Piston replacement is a major workshop job requiring a complete engine tear-down and specialist tools. This is not a DIY task.
• Required Items: For a complete engine rebuild, you will also require new piston rings, connecting rod and main bearings, and a full engine gasket set. Cylinder block machining may also be necessary.

Aftermarket Product Alternative

Pistons are one of the most highly stressed components in your engine. Using cheaper, inferior aftermarket pistons poses a significant risk of catastrophic engine failure. Non-genuine parts can suffer from incorrect weight, dimensional inaccuracies, or sub-standard material strength, leading to poor performance, destructive engine imbalance, and ultimately, far more costly repairs. For a TB42 rebuild, sticking with Genuine Nissan parts is the only way to guarantee reliability and longevity.
