Hey Guys,

Been offered an engine out of a very late series 1 stagea to go into my r33. The guy I'm buying it off hasn't opened it up but is determined that its a neo inside. It has a neo crank sensor (plastic cover) but the r33 coils will bolt up to it and not the neo coils. Now looking at the tomei website as I was going to put tomei cams in it, There is a different cam for 25's between 9/97 - 8/98. Looking on FAST at work all the parts (head, lifters etc) are the same number as all the R33 parts. The only thing in common with a R34 is the CAS. Talking to a reputable engine builder that builds race 25's, he has told me that if it has a plastic cover CAS it MUST be a neo. Has anyone come across this late S1 stagea or very late R33 type engine before and if so what internals has it got? As far as I can tell its a noraml 25 with a neo type CAS? Any help much appreciated.

Is the engine local to you? Might want to get someone with rb25det neo/standard experience to pop down there with you and check it out...

Are there other visual differences other than the plastic covers? Maybe get the seller to take a bunch of pics of it for you and post them up here?

Yep, thats what it is. In 1997-98 and immediately prior to the R34 there were a few R33's made that had a few different things about them. The 40th Anniversary model was one of them. You could say they are a series 2.5, but they are not recognised as such. There is a thread some where on here with differences between models, not sure if the '98 is covered though. They are not a Neo.

If you get Tomei cams then order for the '98 R33, otherwise the CAS key will be wrong.

Question: is the inlet manifold of late series 2 like a neo or like a 33 manifold?

The answer to this could help OP and further my knowledge aha.

Well, they're not Neo's, so they don't have any of the things that were actually different different (ie that actually matter). That's the head, the inlet manifold......

R33 intake manifold will bolt onto a neo head so it is a possibility that they made them with 33 intakes.

Actually, there might be something in that. I was looking to buy a Neo a while back and I think it was at Adelaide Jap that there was an engine that they claimed was a Neo - but it didn't have the R34 inlet manifold. Engine was from a C34 Laurel. Had Neo CAS, Neo type ECU.....but looked like an old 25. But here's the kicker - the guys there said that they'd pulled the top off it and swore that it had solid lifters, just like any Neo.

So, I wonder if there is not a vague halfway motor hiding in Nissan's closet that needs investigating.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      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.
