Hi there I noticed there were some differences in torque between the series 1 and 2 RB25DET engines.

Series 1: 250 ps (183.88 kw) / 6400 rpm - 30.0 kg*m (294.20 N*m) / 3200 rpm

Series 2: 250 ps (183.88 kw) / 6400 rpm - 30.0 kg*m (294.20 N*m) / 4800 rpm

Where is the extra torque from the series 1 motor coming from. And if it has something to do with the valve timing - does this make the series 1 the superior engine for modification? The series 1 is more powerful out of factory?

Just gettin' in to Skylines sorry and looking to purchase one. Need to know if the s1 is the better base engine.

Cheers.

Not quite sure but i think series 2 were starting to bring in the Neo engines...

So different Head internals... cams, lifters...

that's what i thought anyway...

the only diff between series 1 and 2 was the coils . they got the ignitor inside them instead of a stand alone one . they made the same power and torque . and what is up with your stats above ? they were identical . and if you bring the neo into this at would be series 3. and they are FAR superior

If you have the option, go Neo for sure in a R34.

The only difference i have noticed between the engines is the AFM. A S1 motor uses the sometimes troublesome "green label" AFM, the same as the 1 for my RB20 in my R32 GTS-T. The series 2 motor uses the better "pink label" AFM, as found in the R34 RB25DET NEO motor also. When my AFM crapped out, there weren't any green label 1s at the time, so i had a pink label retro fitted & the car has been going like a gun ever since. I think some GTR owners are starting to use these as an alternative to the Z32 upgrade also, not 100% on that 1 though.

Or better yet, do like im planning & put a RB25 NEO in a R32 lol.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
