nope. basically the same engine but run a bit more efficiently. still an rb25det. the variable timeing engines are VE eg SR20VE (variable cams as opposed ot double cams)

The RB25DET original has VVT but its only like On/Off whereas the NEO has fully variable VVT. Its been covered on here before.

Also, the NEO has 60N-m more max torque and more than 1000rpm earlier in the rev range, so basically a lot more torque at lower revs...

Its also got an extra 20kw peak power, and to top it off, its a touch more economical as well. So yes, I'd say its improved to run noticeably more efficiently. Not a huge difference (appart from torque) but a noticeable difference.

Most of these improvements are all related to the improved VVT, which may be why someone mentioned it being nissan's answer to V-TEC. But I think nissan's answer to V-TEC could just be the TURBO lol! Give me boost and bucketloads of torque anyday over those tiny V-TEC engines that need a car that weighs less than a jellybean to make them go. Sure they're quick, and the technology is great, but they just lack torque.

(maybe I'd think differently if I had a lighter car, but having performance AND practicallity in the one car is very very nice)

I've also been told the NEO has direct injection, but maybe someone on here could confirm that?

It can get confusing referring to both engines because the engine code is the same for both.

The NEO name is probably just given to differentiate between the two. Nothing to do with V-TEC at all in the name.

I should have asked whether the RB25DET has VVT, as I thought all that NEO is is just VVT (like VTEC) anyway.

Take the R33 up to 5,500rpm and there is a nice kick. I assume this is the VVT coming in. Is that right?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      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.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      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.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
