Agreed

" Any pistons for RB25 will fit the NEO" yes but they will give a much different C.R. to a non NEO rb25

I wouldn't say much different but yes different. I was waiting for him to discover CR for himself. Also your machinist/builder can make whatever CR you want really.

I'll take photos of the rods next time.

33 Piston has a much higher dome than NEOs' I have a set of Venolias setup for a NEO if anyone wants them,New.

Cheers. :(

So I guess the chambers on the NEO are smaller then? I had a little taken out and with 87 mm bores and the wiseco's I ended up with about 8.75:1 CR.

thanks guys many valuable info here for the neo.

I have come up with a "mild" rebuild plan,

machining the block

wiseco pistons

shotpeened and polished factory rods

reground crank

upgrade oil and water pumps

Upstairs,

port and polish cylinder head

valve springs and retainers

camshafts

exhaust cam gear (is it necessary?)

let me know what you think.

cheers

Is 8.75:1 CR safe enough for high boost, say 1.5bar? if thats the case theres no need to use thicker head gaskets.

I would say do what VB says above, go for the RB30 block, it's going into a GTT right?

use a RB30 block, give it a general freshen up: hone the cylinders if needed, get the crank reground if needed and renitrided, put in new ACL race bearings, a DOHC oilpump, maybe a baffled sump(not really needed though), then upgrade your valve springs, get the cams you wanted and get the d-jetro kit for the PFC or the Q45 AFM and get the plenum you wanted

or just leave it as is, if you are getting a GTR :rolleyes: no point spending money, which you won't get back if you decide to sell and upgrade later on :D

the gtr I want is still a few years away (not an usual run of the mill $60k r34 gtr) so cant afford it right now. just want to play with my gtt for the meanwhile.

we've decided not to go down the rb30 route because 1st want to test good the rb25 neo really is (not many have been heavly modified)

2nd, might want to keep the stock plenum and many other ancillaries so to see how much gain just from running higher boost. after all im only chasing 350kw.

btw how many rwkw can a z32 afm efficiently deliver?

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
