Hey

Ive seen on the internet that the engine power ratings on the R34s with the Neo Straight six's are quiet impressive...

Ive seen 2L neos advertised but havnt read about them...

The 2.5L Non Turbo producing 200kW

2.5L Turbo producing 206kW (same as 2.6L Twin Turbo but less torque).

Ive read this on the internet a few times..

Just making sure its correct? And also what does the 2L engine produce seeing as some R34s have them (so ppl advertise)??

I read it in errr... a site lol

How come the neo engines are so much more powerful??

Not that im complaining! :)

Read the N/A was 200kW but a fair bit less in torque...

206kW is the legal limit in Japan for stock engines im guessin right..?

Because all major engines STOCK from diff makes etc 206kW.

I cant wait to get an R34!!! Be waitin for a few years tho... :)

The neos are also in the Nissan Laurel.

Well the rb25det Neo has different ignition timing ( more advanced VVT system). I guess thats how it got some of its extra power.

All the Neo Motors use whats called a Lean-burn System. Hence ( low fuel consumption )

I found out that there is a 2L neo. It delivers maximum power of 155HP. which really isnt much. I suppose its pretty good for an NA 2L

It would have cost nissan alot more money getting 200kw out of a 2 litre.

Now you said that the 2.5L Neo "NON" turbo makes 200KW

Then you said the 2.5L Neo "TURBO" makes 206KW. What is the point of the turbocharged motor if they both make the same power??

Nissan could have kept the 2.5L an NA motor and still get GTR power.

Well really the 2.5 NA does not make 200KW, Its 200HP

the Neo RB25DET model makes 206KW (280HP)/6,400 RPM

34.0KG/3,200 RPM

CR = 9:0:1

The R34 25GT (NEO RB25DE) makes 200PS standard (around 200bhp), not sure KW's. which is slightly more than the RB25DE found in the earlier R32/R33. The engine also has higher torque outputs, and late model R34's have a slight improvement over earlier R34's. AFAIK, R34's were available with either Triptronic Auto boxes (+ / - gear change and steering wheel controls) or a 5sp manual.

On paper the R34 GTT (RB25DET) and the R34 GTR (RB26DETT) put out the same power (280ps), but of course, that's "on paper"...

>jazza08: Looks like your confusing yourself there dude! :)

Just relax, one question at a time, and "All will be rrrrrrrrrrrrrevealed"... (Thumbwars)

Thanks Dave for that "Gem" :) about the Neo-6 power outputs... seriously, how many mouse clicks did it take to get some official figures? 4? 5?

Rezz - about 3 or 4!! :):):(

As an aside, most of the people I know of, who drive an R34 with the triptronic box say that don't usually bother with the steering controls...

I personally think Nissan did a very good job in upping the power figures for the R34 range, by tweaking the RB series engines, improving (or adding?) VVT to the NEO engines they managed to boost power/torque by a fair bit...

So that always raises the question - how come the R34 GTR doesn't get VVT and NEO technology?

i'm no expert, but i think that the GTRs actually have a stock output close to 300kw, probably a little less. The only reason that they say it has 206kw is to comply (ON PAPER) with the regulations. And i think that there are no more restrictions in japan for power output, need i say more about the next GTRs power??? again im no expert, so someone correct me if i'm wrong.

If u even take the GT-T power output as correct, 206kw's, a stock dyno run (148rwkw) shows pretty much 30% power loss thru the drive train, that's 30% not 33%. If u translate this powerloss percentage to GTR's at about 190 - 195rwkw's, making them about 280kw's at the fly.

Now i'm not sure if transferring 70% of the engine power to the wheels is reasonable to assume, but if it is 206kw for the GT-T and 280kw for the GTR sound about right.

Oh and just in case u didn't realise, the GTR engine is 2.6 litres and has 2 turbos, instead of one :cheers: RB26DETT

Tiptronic can be done via the gear stick as well yeah? Or is just steering wheel mounted buttons?

And the "206kw" limit was a "gentlemans agreement" in Japan between the different car manufacturers. But if u look at some of the cars that have been produced, 22B STi's, GTR's, Twin Turbo Supras, etc, they haven't been following it completely. But the agreement is no longer so yeah, time for the Japanese cars to mix it with the Euro boys in terms of power output.

cheers.

You can change gears with a tiptronic on the steering wheel or with the gear stick. I have also heard that most people don't use the buttons on the wheel but I do all the time. I think it's because from the very first day I owned it I used them.

The only problem I have is that if you're booting it you have to press the button about 1000rpm before you want it to actually change gears because the revs climb so quickly.

NEO stands for New Environmental Optimisation or sumfin like that, all it duz is make the emissions from the engine better. The increase in power is from the upgraded ECU that accompanies the engine... don't believe the hype :)

Spot on FunkyMonkey - the NEO part of the R34 engines basically means they've tweaked it to produce fewer/cleaner emmisions. However, the R34 engines do benefit from ECU tweaks (and also manifold flow characteristics I've heard) that give it the extra power. Not forgetting improvements in the VVT side of things...

BTW, NEO = Nissan Ecology Orientated performance... :)

The gentleman's agreement is just that, an agreement - it's not legally binding. There is a hell of a lot more mutual agreement between companies in japan, as opposed to western nations. That's one of the reasons why you often find that pricing for similar products can be very similar between different companies (ie: intercoolers, etc).

The reason for the kW (or we should say, ps) limit is (apparently) to keep the companies on a level playing field and/or to stop any potential power 'wars'

If you look at the cars that exceed the kW agreement - they tend to not be directly from the big companies (HSV is to holden as Nismo is to nissan).

IIRC, the car with the most power over the advertised 280ps is the toyota supra (though the s8-9 FD rx7 probably has even more if you consider power:weight)

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
