I've got some pics of the white one from WTAC a few years back, pretty sure it had bonnet spacers and looked odd.... But put out good power.... With the amount you can get out of a stock NEO with the right bolt ons kind of makes most builds seem a waste.... When mine pops I'll put another NEO in for less than $2k and go again :)

OP - what are you trying to achieve? NEO motor is a good piece of kit. RB26 might not be the best way to spend your time and money.

What i want to look at building a motor for is to eventually turn the car more into a track car than a daily drive and just the hobby of building a motor :happy:

but what sort of power can you get out of a 25 opened/ unopened safely vs the 26

i want to have a motor that i can give it a thrashing without having to worry all the time about breaking things.

what are your ideas on the 2 motors and what they are capable of, i mean you are going to know alot more than me im only new to the skyline scene and just trying to bead in the right direction haha.

thanks guys any info is appreciated and taken on board

Hey all,

I live around Newcastle and im new to the skyline scene and looking to establish a relationship with a good tuner to get any work done, get the car tuned etc and all round know alot about skylines,

any ideas and experiences would be great.

Cheers,

James

Hi James, I can see you're new. Going over your topics, they have been done to death... Do us all a favour and SEARCH!

My stock NEO is making perfect power for track, drift, drag or whatever you want to throw at it.... It's near undrivable on full boost, at the end of the day the NEO can out power the driver if done right.....

but what sort of power can you get out of a 25 opened/ unopened safely vs the 26

NEO has the same strong rods as the RB26. Crank is never a problem, so the only diff in bottom end strength is pistons, but i dont know how they compare. NEO also has solid cams, so while 26s are a decent step up from early 25s, you cant say the same with NEO vs 26.

alot of effort for an extra 44cc or whatever it is and a slighty better flowing head

Eh, I don't really know if the RB26 goes better than the NEO head.

Let's face it, unless you really want Twin turbos and ITBs, there is no reason to ditch the NEO in favour of the 26.

I have heard the Neo has the highest flowing head out of all the RB engines.

ITB's on the 26 are cool though!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
