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?

    • With stone chips, you really can't just try to fill them. You really have to sand that spot to lower the edges of the chip, so that the filler will end up covering a wider patch than just the chip. Otherwise, you're trying to have a sharp edged paint surface match up to some filler, and they just do not sand the same and you always end up with a noticable transition. A bunch of adjacent chips should be well sanded back, to round off all those edges, and use a lot (in a relative sense) of filler to raise the whole area back.
    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you
