dunno but you've got the big ass 4 door, so plenty of room in that boat to drive around the kids in the holidays

Nah during school time is better cause they all congregate in one place. nd 14 yeah old grlz luv the sutututu

Sorry OP you can have your thread back now.

Yep, I'm convinced. Obviously its a combination of a few things that make the neo head far superior, so going away from that head would be retarded!

Looking at piston choices, and comparing chamber volume of a RB30e/t to NEO it seems if I gett the RB30ET pistons with a 4.5cc dish i will end up slighlty higer than the claimed 8.5:1 , which would be spot on.

and from webbers guide

As listed in a previous section The head combustion CC's are as follow:

RB30E/T 55CC

R32 RB25DE 62CC

R33 RB25DE/T 63-64CC

R34 RB25DE/T 50-53CC
R32/R33/R34 Rb26DETT 64CC

Deck height to be machined to set compression ratio.

So my question is, have people used them? I have searched like mad and havent found concrete evidence of success, just some people that were planning on using them.

My concern is piston to valve clearance.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Mahle Pistons Nissan RB30DET(Skyline) 86.5mm Bore NIS264405I05

available on ebay for around 800 delivered, will check local prices.
These seem to be the go. Its so good when a piston manufacturer gives the head cc's when stating comp ratio!

**edit, bit concerned by tiny skirt for daily use, don't really want loud pistons.

If someone can show me a NEO head out perform a non NEO head for power and response on the same motor ill eat my shirt.

The only advantage I see with a NEO head is the ability to use bigger cams while retaining VCT, all other differences would be hard pressed to see a change on a dyno.

Use what you have and save your $$$.

have to agree, while the neo head is better, far superior is a bit steep, both motors in good condition with same mods produce a very similar result

any proof otherwise?

did hear of a neo flicking a shim out recently but didn't hear back why

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
