i think you might have to take it over the pits dale, as the neo has a higher HP rating. (direct engine swaps are fine, like when i swapped my 'stock' r33 s1 rb25 for a 'stock' r33 s1 rb25. :) so both were 'apparently' 187kw)

however a s1 stagea is 176ish kw, with a s2 stagea being 206kw, so you need to have it inspected, as your brakes, etc might not be adequate for the massive 30kw increase you will gain. :)

the pits dont know that, u say the engine no. and its starts with RB25XXXX same as the old one then they dont care, they think its the same (which it is anyway pretty much)

pits pick up stuff like suspension bushes and steering bushes worn, etc, and it wont take much to cost u $400 in parts if they pick on it. ive paid rego and insurance on my last 2 cars and they havent been on the road for more than 2500km in 5 years+.

how is your 33 gts-t going anyway? :D

i guess you could just fill out the engine number swap form, and say its rated at 250hp, or whatever it is a stock stagea rb25 is.

did your old engine die in the crash dale? save your money on a neo, and buy a nice s1/2 r33 rb25 with some fruit on it. :D

skyline front cut isn't an option due to needing all the panels and radiator support. I need a wagon due to the 2 dogs etc so I don't have the option of moving down to a 2 door stagea :rofl: the only reason I am going to the neo is because the S2 front cut is pretty much the same price as a S1 front cut once its landed (?) and it seems a bit silly to have a Neo and triptronic sitting there doing nothing, especially since the engine and box is going to come out for the welding part anyway. When I drop it back in it is just a case of slotting in the new 'puter and then I will have the spare RB25DET to start building up a RB30DET :thumbsup:

which is really what the old lard a$$ wagon needs.

mmmmm.....torque.....*drools*

ok .. the pits use a CRAAAAZZZY system for determining horsepower of a motor ( but it works in our benifit !! )

its called the RAC ( no connectiion with RAC insurace as far as I know ! ) Horsepower rating and it does NOT take into effect

turbo / superchargers etc. So essentially .. when I changed from an sr20DE to an sr20DET , as far as the RAC horsepower rating calculation goes the DET had NO MORE power than the DE .

so that will be a good benifit to dale..

[edit] RAC horsepower (taxable horsepower)

See Tax "horsepower" This measure was instituted by the Royal Automobile Club in Britain and was used to denote the power of early 20th century British cars. Many cars took their names from this figure (hence the Austin Seven and Riley Nine), while others had names such as "40/50 hp", which indicated the RAC figure followed by the true measured power.

Taxable horsepower does not reflect developed horsepower; rather, it is a calculated figure based on the engine's bore size, number of cylinders, and a (now archaic) presumption of engine efficiency. As new engines were designed with ever-increasing efficiency, it was no longer a useful measure, but was kept in use by UK regulations which used the rating for tax purposes.

ed52e0dd9d4af62d4b20f230c743d943.png where D is the diameter (or bore) of the cylinder in inches n is the number of cylinders This is equal to the displacement in cubic inches divided by 10π then divided again by the stroke in inches.[3]

Since taxable horsepower was computed based on bore and number of cylinders, not based on actual displacement, it gave rise to engines with 'undersquare' dimensions, i.e. relatively narrow bore, but long stroke; this tended to impose an artificially low limit on rotational speed (rpm), hampering the potential power output and efficiency of the engine.

The situation persisted for several generations of four- and six-cylinder British engines: for example, Jaguar's 3.8-litre XK engine had six cylinders with a bore of 87 mm (3.43 inches) and a stroke of 106 mm (4.17 inches), where most American automakers had long since moved to oversquare (wide bore, short stroke) V-8s.

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
