Hey mate, nice car, those videos make me moist. I'm about to put a Neo in my car and my spec sheet is exactly the same as yours haha. Exactly what highflow do you have?

Looks the goods, but expensive at $1955 if you were doing it again would you keep this turbo or what other options would you look at? And you wouldn't happen to have the part number for the manual spigot bush, my motor as also auto so i'm guessing i will need one too?

I got it free with the car, personally if I did it again I would buy a hypergear, not BB but performs slightly better and only ~$1k A genuine garret would be the best but I want stealth so I can pass a regency inspection without having to change a single part.

Sorry no idea about the part number, just call up nissan they will know what you are talking about.

Hey Rolls,

Been reading your thread and was just wondering how you got passed the crankshaft pulley being a different size to the r33 one.

You still using the rb20 acillaries?

Car is awesome btw

Using rb20 ancilleries and got different sized belts as I kept the r34 crankshaft pulley. Basically as long as you use R32 or R33 ancilleries all that needs to change is getting new belts, at least that is what I think I did as I remember buying new belts.

Blew up 3rd gear finally so I bought a 2nd hand box off a member on here that said it wasn't noisy and 2nd syncro was a bit crunchy on high speed changes.

Put it in and the input shaft bearing whines so loud it sounds like a gilmer drive and 2nd syncro is so bad you have to double declutch into neutral to go from 3rd back to 2nd.

Pretty pissed, I know you risk it with 2nd hand boxes but when people say it is fine and it isn't, that really shits me.

Not really sure what to do now, whether to pull it apart and put a new input shaft bearing and use the syncro from my old box, or look for another 2nd hand box. Both are risky.

Sigh.

Save yourself the pain and just buy another 2nd handie.... pulling gearboxes apart sucks a big bad of d+=ks.

Rolls you car makes similar power and torque to mine... Going another RB20 box isn't going to last; you may have to bite the bullet and get a RB25 box.

My RB20 box lasted 21 years of abuse (and 5 years at around 240rwkw) until I was overcome with a quest for more torque. One day on the dyno with my current setup, had it whining like crazy and in need of replacement. 250rwkw seems to be all they can handle.

I don't do drift or burnouts so my driving style is probably fairly mild, I don't think it would stand up to track abuse day in day out. It does however handle fast shifts and has been almost 4 years with that power behind it and still has plenty of meat and grab on it, it is starting to shudder a little when stone cold in winter but is great the rest of the year.

If I did any track work I'd agree with you, right now I'm just looking for the easy solution, don't think I'll keep the car long enough to warrant the $2k investment in putting a 25 box in.

I've got new ones coming and was goin to flow test them just for peice of mind, but as they do come with a flow sheet not sure why they would lie ether.

How are you finding yours? My are quite poppy on low load which I think is due to an average spray pattern, fuel economy is great though and power is fine.

Put car up for sale a few weeks ago then it got written off :(((

The impact snapped my f**king seat in half! was a big hit, was lying down for the head on which saved me from hitting my head on the steering wheel.

Selling the boost controller if anyone is interested (eboost street)

Yeah even the roof bent, both doors were about 5cm away from closing lol, tail shaft snapped and the exhaust ripped off the end of the turbo, think they whole car is 5cm shorter after the impact.

Got $10,500 from insurance so shopping for an XR6T now, found a few around $12k and some modded ones with 400kw around $16k, going to be fun times!

awesome read up man such a shame it got hit!! feel for you after so much effort to make it into the car it was..

if possible rolls id love to pick your brain loom wise..

im about to tackle a neo conversion and would love to keep my rb20 g4link computer and wire in the vct..

im electrician by trade so the actual chopping and soldering etc doesnt worry me at all i just dont know what ill have to change, wire etc haha

thanks for any help in advance :)

It was a blessing in disguise, the xr6t I have now makes 340rwkw with peak torque at 3k and peak power not much after 4k until 6k. Torque monster, so much nicer to drive as well.

To keep the ECU you really need to keep most the sensors,I used RB25DET series 1 intake and everything so it was a bit easier as I only bought a long motor, not one with loom and everything else.

Either way CAS has to be re-wired back to front, eg

4-1

3-2

2-3

1-4

I used knock sensors from an rb25det series 1 though the neo ones might be compatible though, I used the neo coil packs and simply cut the rb20 igniter off, eg wire all the inputs to the igniter direct to the coils. I don't have a drawing as it is so simple to figure out once you look at the wiring.

Z32 AFM (you'll max the rb20 one so fast it isn't funny).

my mate did it with all the neo running gear and only changed the cas wiring, removed igniter for coils and replaced TPS, everything else just worked I'm pretty sure. I'll msg him and double check for you.

edit: My mate used full neo motor with rb20 loom said all he did is use all series 1 rb25det TPS, deleted the traction control from the TB, wire cas back to front and he wired the VCT to have power permanently (not optimal but better than running without it).

Most of the plugs from the rb20 loom will plug into the neo sensors, you might need to swap the injector plugs I think that is all.

I have the eboost street for sale that I used if you want it, it needs a new loom which is about $80 so will sell the unit for cheap.

It is really easy to do, only took us a few hours to do the electrical work and it started even with the rb20 tune (though didn't drive).

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
