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.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
