Hi guys, never really officialy introduced myself but thought I should post up my progress for anyone interested.

My Car is a Nissan 95 240sx (200sx)

Motor is a ER34 Neo6 RB25, with GTR Crank.

CP pistons

GTR Rods

ARP Main/Rod Bolts

ACL Main/Rod Bearings

I chose this motor thinking they had fixed the oil drive, but i was wrong.

Here's some pics!

I'll start with the beginning when I took her apart the first time.

and here we are as of today.

I just got the motor back after the machine shop assembled

- rb26 crank

- cp pistons

- standard 26 rods

- ACL main/rod bearings

- ARP main/rod bolts

- honed cylinder walls

- had the head/block hot tanked and resurfaced

- rotating assembly balanced ( really don't think was necesary )

little over $500 later and BAM!

i chose to tap the rear of the head to fit an external oil drain to the sump

I'd like to have it in the car on mounts by this weekend, but more than likely will just paint the block, assemble it and get it ready for next weekend.

I've still got to get my harness back, tap the oil pan for the return line, and port match ex and intake ports/manifolds.

thx for looking!

nice work man

love your progress.

How hard was it to source the NEO motor overthere?

thx man, it's gettin there, still waiting on my harness to be sent back from being converted. taking waaaaayy too long ;)

as far as sourcing the motor, wasn't too hard, we have alot of importers who are able to get just about any motor.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
