  1. Was the new motor from an auto? You need to change the auto spigot in the flywheel for a manual one. Don't know if that would cause your symptoms though and not sure if you could even have got the box in now I think about it...excuse my rambling I'm tired...

    You know what i think your spot on. I bought it as a long block out of a half cut which i think was auto. Will have a look this arvo cheers

  3. Hi.

    Finished doing a neo motor swap into my 33. Only thing i changed was the block, still using all the 33 accessories, gearbox, clutch, slaves etc

    Let the car idle for 20min to bleed coolant and went to take for test drive. After reversing 3m down driveway there was a very loud grinding noise. Clutch was engaged at the time.

    Turned car off, checked everything and tried again. No noise. Go drive 50m and noise comes back. Again turn off, back on no noise. 50m again the noise came back. Put in neutral noise was there clutch in or out.

    First thought was throwout bearing. Pulled the box, seemed alright. Will have a better look tomorrow.

    Am i on the right track? Searching seems to bring up similiar symptoms for throwout bearing. But this is seriously loud. Like angle grinder loud.

    Or could there be somthing up eith the carrier since i changed motor?

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks

  4. In terms of the factory RB25DET tune, is it considered "safe" for drifting/track work/in general? Obviously not maximized for power or apparently ralative fuel economy but aside from that.

    Stock tune with the engine in stock form and it will do fine. From memory i think it runs a little rich so not a bad thing, correct me if i'm wrong.

    I drifted mine for over a year, factory tune with just a front mount and turbo back.

  5. Head studs, oil pump collar, oil pump, oil restrictor in head and enlarge block drains.

    Extended/baffled sump with an oil cooler. Then you should be set.

    Stocker 25's go great. Dont worry about power yet. Get the suspension gear done (diff,castor,camber,coilovers,rack spacers) then worry about hp.

  6. Hi. Looking for a neo motor from a 34.

    Willing to get it shipped if interstate but prefer sydney if possible.

    Must be running. Would like a compression test and or leakdown test.

    Willing to look at built/forged/reco'd rb25 s1 and s2's also. (Must have receipts)

    Pm is best. I check my emails often.

    Thanks
