Yeah, I could be wrong. 2 days ago when i check nova site for crankshaft pn. I notes that, And Im confused.
The RR piston is having 2 oil pit and having same colour/finishing with 1st generation of NS12, while they releasing NSR. Equipped with microcasted piston (they said) darker colour but still 2 groove, exactly the same with MAX P series.

Couple month after it, MAX is releasing S series. Piston has a brighter finish than previous P version but only have 1 oil pit.
Soon after that, NSR is releasing newer batch with ported sleeve(3port) and lighten crankshaft(5port) and the piston is exactly the same with MAX S series.

Dunno about newer RR, but in here the piston is still not changing.
Please open/borrow your friends NSR piston you will notice the difference.
I still could be wrong though....
