should of bought my head, already had cams in it :no: ,

If I were you id slap the neo head on and add some water meth, would be very ballsy motor plus the cam has 8.5ish lift and zero hydraulic lifters to make noise later.. ;)

Yeah, I was seriously considering it man..

But I really needed the head asap as I can't bear to have my car just sitting there :(

+ Not that I don't trust you, but the head would have come from Brisbane etc.. It could have been damaged coming here and if anything happened I wouldn't be able to just send it right back if you know what I mean?

Unfortunately I have already sold the NEO Head to one of my mates for his R34 but I do regret not keeping it.. I realize now I could have kept the head and just got a thicker Head Gasket to compensate for the higher compression but at the time I did not think of that :verymad:

Oh well, That may be a task for my project motor which will be started soon :yes:

That looks nice!

It may be a Nismo 400R? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Skyline_GT-R#NISMO_400R

Also, this.. is my goal (I'm almost there) except with the addition of Wider Rear Fenders + S2 Spoiler :yes:

:yes: :yes: :yes:

I was looking at GTR style ones (no badge of course) but seeing the black on white gives a similar effect while maintaining the S symbol :D

Yeah exactly! I don't know why people switch em out :no:

I personally like em! :yes:

I want this R33 GTR Do-Luck rear bumper, that's what on my brothers car, it continues underneath the body about a foot or more... gives it more depth at the rear..

Not really an update as such

Just something someone did for me and I thought it was cool!

post-104024-0-10612600-1430802191_thumb.jpg

I will be buying ARP Head Studs next week though!

Then all I need is the Head Gasket (Probably a Permaseal Metal Head Gasket) and the Head refurbished :D

Then she's all ready to go on! :w00t:

Keep an eye out as I'll also be documenting the removal and refit of the Head via Youtube :yes:

I will post the links here for all who wish to see it :cheers:

Looking heaps better now... what power you wanting to make?

Can make well over 300kw's with OEM bolts and gaskets... looking forward to the vids... :whistling:

:thanks: mate!

My power goal for this engine is 400rwhp, I really want to see those numbers on the dyno :yes: Then I'll be happy!

Although 1/4 times are what really counts :thumbsup:

Then I am going to leave it at 400hp and a weekender, whilst I start my engine build, RB25/34 :D

Although I am torn between using my current head (The broken one on my car, which will be switched out with the new head) or buying a NEO Head for this, I just don't know whether the slight increase in flow will be worth it with the NEO as opposed to just staying with my head. :ermm:

Update time!

I got my quote from HeadTorque yesterday and although the price seems a bit dear, I am confident this is still a fair price :yes:

They are going to:

- Service The Head

- Pressure Test It

- Sonic Clean And Bleed The Lifters

- Face It

- Supply And Fit Brand New Exhaust Studs

- Supply And Fit 24 Valve Stem Seals

- Check Valve Springs

All for the price of - $1,100 :happy:

But as fate should have it, this will not be getting done till next month! :down:

I am currently casual at my job and have my review next month as I'm waiting to go full time.

I don't want to spend big money now and then be struggling to survive later, should I not get extended :ermm:

I will however still be buying the ARP Head Studs soon, so check back for those updates! :thumbsup:

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
