hi, hope it hasnt been covered before (cowers) simple question, can r33 rb25detpistons be used with a r34 neo head? ive noticed that the r34 pistons have valve reliefs so im bit concerned about piston to valve clearence and an increase in compression? thoughts? comments ? (no nasty ones please)

thanks guys, youve given me a bit to think about

. . picked up a 34det neo dirt cheap and (also havea 33 bottom end) it has a damaged #3 cylinder and just working out my options for using what i got

it had swallowed a small bolt which made it run on 5 and the guy who owned the car drove it for three months like that. .

Use the Neo bottom end. Buy pistons. Sell R33 stuff to someone else. Profit.

wildo that , originally was told number 3 was dead and was (possible detonation damage) cos the owner was running it on 91 ulp

owner needs shooting as this motor still has factory hone marks on the bores

if anyone here has some low k (stock size) 34 pistons in good condition please pm me as the internals of this motor are in otherwise mint condition and wouldnt take much to get it going again

Neos use RB26 rods, which are a different length to older 25 rods (I'm pretty sure....).

Nope.

RB25 non NEO and NEO and RB26 share the same con rod length.

NEO uses the same 'stronger' rod as the 26 though.

OP - I have a full set of 34 NEO pistons and rods in excellent nic for sale, unless Simon still wants them?

kitto beat me to it.

neo rods same length as non neo. As is the pin height on the pistons. in fact the neo piston and non neo piston share all the same dimensions but the neo piston has more cooling passages under it where oil is squirted. its probably lighter also but need to weigh some to confirm.

the difference in compression is all in the head.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
