Neo's are decent, but it would be an added pain in the ass, Your plazmaman wont bolt up nor will your injectors, they run less duration and more lift plus dual stage vct, so it will most likely cock up your tune. That said better piston/ring land and combustion chamber design with lower comp and of course solid lifters makes them pretty reliable especially if you ran it on R33 electrics and on an R33 76deg thermostat but still you're paying a fair amount for an unopened second hand motor generally with unknown history. I'd go a stocker cheapo 33 or a basic built motor (hint, hint) for sure.

It's going to need a retune regardless if he put the same engine in. The engine is dead from detonation = tune needs adjusting. Engine swaps and tunes are like new girlfriends just because your pecker is the same doesn't mean she will take it the same way.

The inlet stud pattern is the same. So the r33 inlet plus plazman and injectors will swap strait over. Can't see any negatives. Not to sure they are lower compression either. Higher if anything.

Looks like we could do a group buy on engines at the moment. Mine is not so healthy after today. :(

Yeah neo is 9.5:1 and s2 rb25det is 9:1.

That's sad about your motor damo :( why'd you do it for?

And yes. If i got a new motor I'd have the tune looked at. While all the engines are equal, some are more equal than the others.

Plus it was the fuel filter clogging up that cooked it, not the tune.

Just stick a 33 25 in it nowelly. Just get one that has healthy comp and obviously one that has as much stock stuff still attached as possible that doesn't look like its been just put back on. Put your sump on it and cam covers and with the money you save buy a accusump setup if you want a extra fail safe. Keep it at 7500 and love life. And from what I can see, and from what you have told me, that motor build/tune is shithouse. Woeful. Oil problems from day dot, then that. Compared to say rusty's car, which he took in, had the motor pulled, built, put back in and tuned to similar power as yours and has been drifted and daily driven for years now and the bill was about 7k or something and has yet to put a spanner to it. Edit, just saw the fuel filter thing, still, undiscovered Amazonian tribes knew you'd have oil dramas with no restrictors and a good sump etc.

My bad, for some reason I just thought they had less comp, my R33 RB25's have always registered ~ 160psi accoss the board with my forged 8.5:1 being flat 150, then my R34 neo wavered at ~ 145-150 so it must have just been quite tired :P.

Google does say 9.5, the manuals don't state the comp though, and interesting (or lazy of them) their compression test, limit and variation are the same on the neo and normal rb25 :/.

Yeah I found out the problem with the tune, there was some stray wires behind the dash shorting out making it forget things! That was really annoying and had me paranoid the whole time.

Stock R33 RB25DET is on the cars.

Unless someone has a head, pistons, rings and bearings for sale?

Or maybe just a head, I've got a couple of 30 blocks lying around here.... (strokes beard)

That's one of the plans Rusty, just get a stock\mild RB25 and throw my turbo\supporting bits on it, just get back out there and start skidding again before the car\project gets stagnant.

Hey Zoid, I bought a full RB25 motor inc loom, ecu, ancillaries etc. for around $1700 to my door 12 months ago from these guys on the mainland Fuji Auto Centre, perfect condition engine, has been running flawlessly for prob 15,000ks now. The guy to speak to is steve, they get crates from Japan quite often and are awesome to deal with, most of their stock will be on here http://stores.ebay.com.au/fuji-autocentre but give them a bell on 0397615203 to see what they have.

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
