I have been told that it is possible to use GTR cams on a NEO. Similar solid lifters although can not use any lift higher then approx 9.5mm. Im planing to go down this route couple with adj cam gears. May sound like a silly question but could i then use the RB26 clear cam cover?

more to the point... if i disable vct, can i completley remove the vct solenoid off the inlet wheel? Will be using tomei poncams 260 and adj inlet and ex cam gears. I want to dress up my engnine and use a rb26 clear cam cover..

cheers

only way you can use that clear cover is if you get the backing plate to bolt it too. It also wouldnt look very good in my opinion without the rb26 valve covers too. But they do look a hell of a lot better!!!!! The valve covers bolt right up.

Cant anwser your question about the vct tho. I know the cams can go in but not sure about the vct wheel on the cam itself. I think they seal differently from the 25 and 26 cam shaft but I havnt dont that modification so best to call that workshop thats done it many times posted above.

finally got around the prob with my cam choice. Will use GTR tomei poncam 260 and disable VCT. This way i can remove the hud off the stock inlet cam gear. Will the rb26 clear cam cover then bolt onto the NEO? Or will i still need GTR rocker covers????

Don't forget that GTR's have the 6 throttle valve inlet system so they can and do get away with greater valve overlap without the choppy reversion characteristics . So between having virtually zero inlet communication at idle and low turbine inlet pressure from the twin parallel turbos they can get away with longer duration cams and the extra overlap to help them scavange .

A Neo RB25 with its single turbo (greater average turbine inlet pressure) and single throttle plenum inlet manifold may not take very kindly to GTR cams .

Your call , cheers A .

thanks for the heads up....interesting food for thought...Brad from spool imports is using GTR cams for his NEO 25/30 and from the looks of his dyno graph....great results. Some 508rwhp on a low 20 psi TO4Z....I would think depending on the duration, lift and adj cam gears, this may have attributed to his success??? From memory his were 272/9.35mm

i was told from my workshop that the NEO head has only 12 solid lifters. I have a spare NEO head and was also told that abit of cost is involved in getting the spare 12 on.

Best you find a better workshop........The NEO definately has 24 solids !

The inlet lifters are a little different to the exhaust lifters, but they are both solids.

cheers

ok just out of interest you can put a full set of 26 covers on your 25?

just get the backing plate for the cam gear cover and it should all work?

Yes that is what i have been told and i hope that is correct becasue i have just purchased a set for $395. On another note there was a misunderstanding between the workshop. NEO do have 24 solid lifters although 12 are steel and the other 12 are aluminium and the inlet and exhaust are different . My goal is to combine the other spare 12 steel onto the same head. What modifications is neccasary??? eg: inlet lifters into exhaust and vice versa?

They are too different. The valves and springs would have to be different lengths. I am looking at the two of them right now. The exhaust valves seem to be shorter or perhaps recessed further into the head.

Yeah the 26 covers fit onto the 25's. I've seen it done before.

really huh? Sounds major....The head is getting sent to enginering once my cams arrive. i hope there is a possible way around it and not have cost sky rocket at the same time. Is there anything even wrong with aluminum lifters anyway? It has a rb30 bottom end reving to 8k rpm max although power goal is 650rwhp...

cheers

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
