A lady friend of mine has an R33 sedan and has blown the engine. She has been offered a complete de Neo out of a wrecked R34. Did a bit of a search but didnt get a definative answer. A couple of questions:

1. Will it fit up to her auto box.

2. Can it be made to run on the R33 ecu etc. or will it need the neo ecu and a rewire.

3. Any other mods needed.

Sensible answers please fellas I just need to know what would have to be done if its possible. Engine is in really good nick I am told and she can get it for very low dollars.

S1 and s2 r34 ran a different auto so the 33 ecu may not like that, depends on the donor engine.

Neo ecu and rewire probably best option

^^^Like he says - if its same as the Stagea the R33 auto ecu is in the main ecu unlike the R34 so you will need to keep the R33 ecu and loom and adapt the Neo to suit if possible. You may be able to re use the R33 coils and injectors where they are different. I am not sure about the VCT differences. If you want certainty you could probably pull the head off the R33 if it is in good nick and put that on the Neo block and then it should be pretty straightforward.

      R34 GT-T cycling ABS pump

      The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.

      Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.

      Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.

      There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.

      Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
