Hard to say from the pics, it could be a mix of what they had lying around, late s2 does have plastic CAS, it hasn't got the neo ps pump.

As you say see if it's got the drain at the front of the head, might not matter depending what parts are needed

Are you sure? I have only ever seen R33 'S3' with the plastic CAS, they also have the R34 ECU header plug and the coilpacks mount directly to the head, but still hydraulic lifters and no VCT drain.

I thought it looked more S2.5+ than Neo, but photos aren't sufficient to convince.

It certainly does not have the R34 Neo throttlebody on it.

If it is a vanilla RB25, then it will have come out of an R33 Skyline**. If it is somehow AWD in the Patrol, then it would have come from a Stagea**.

There are a couple of other choices of vehicles that the engine could have come out of, but not to the extent that it would make any difference.

Was going to say it looks like my '98, so the last of the R33's, but the timing cover behind the CAS is different and much bulkier.  It has a larger flange and that webbing that mine doesn't have.

Looks like its lost some coolant more than once as well - all that white dust.

interesting conversion. probably goes way better than my td42 one but I suspect an rb25 will still struggle moving all that weight.

surely it is 4wd....if the original engine was td28 it is likely all the original patrol 4wd stuff bolted right up.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
