Hi, I am new to the worlds of skyline as I use to own a s13 turbo, and I have a r34 gtt coming in about 3 months time, just wondering what difference is the r34 rb25det neo and the r33 version of the rb25det? what is this neo thing? also what turbo does the r34 have? and is it ball bearing? sorry bout the noob quest, but since im moving to a skyline now, i wanna know as much about them biggrin.gif also any other cool features or anything about r34s that u guys can tell me?

It is ball bearing, and ceramic exhaust, nylon intake. The housing is a bit bigger apparently.

The R34 put out 206kw

The R33 put out 187kw

Slightly bigger turbo, slightly bigger intercooler... i'm sure there's a few more differences, but those are the main ones that I know of.

yeah r34 have a slightly bigger turbo, but depending on what series r33 motor it is, will determine if it has a nylon compressor wheel (series 2 r33 has it). from what i gather the r33 motor is a little bit better. something to do with the vct or something.

you will find the rb25 motor a lot different to (i'm assuming you had an sr20 motor) the s13. if your motor was relativevly stock (e.g. stock turbo, just with more boost, exhaust, fmic), you will find the rb25 pulls a lot more down low. i had a 180sx with an sr20det in it, and it was rather sluggish down low compared to my girlfriends car (sss pulsar- natro sr20 with 112hp atw). they pull once they come on boost at about 4000rpm. the rb25 having a ballbearing turbo starts to boost a lot earlier and pulls a lot harder down low and are a lot smoother through the rev range.

Hey mate,

interesting thread but this has been covered before I think...

I didnt think the R34 had a ball bearing turbo, just thought it was a little larger... Can anyone confirm this?

Anyhow, heres what im quite sure of....

-They have slightly larger intercoolers

-Variable cam timing on both the inlet and exhaust cams (as opposed to only the inlet which the r33 rb25det has)

- Solid type lifters (same setup as Rb26)

- Different shaped inlet manifold

R34 is 206kw R33 is 187kw.

R34 Rb25DET has

*larger intercooler,

*solid lifters like GTR,

*different cam profiles,

*constantly adjustable variable valve timing on inlet (not just advance or retard 10deg like R33 RB25, R34 can vary it up to 40 odd degress and anywhere in between)

*traction control

*larger turbine housing on turbo (otherwise same as series 2 R33 turbo)

*larger top feed injectors (instead of side feed)

can't think of what else is different at the moment?

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
