Hey team. 
 

I have recently bought a broken RB25 that I’m going to rebuild to replace my 20DE neo in my 34. 
 

It has 75T stamped on the block and head. From research I have found it’s out of a 33 but have various results whether it’s a DE or a DET. Did Nissan use the same block and head for both and if so how do I tell what I have and if a DE what changes would I have to make to convert to +T. 
 

Thanks in advance

With plugs though? Not the actual drain fitting?

Yep, the openings were plugged, but I rebuilt a DET using one DE block and swapped the fittings and other internals in. The factory had not left anything blanked or undrilled, although I have seen R34 N/A 75T blocks that did not have the turbo oil drain drilled and tapped.

75T Is defiantly a series 2... I have successfully done a fully forged and built rb25de + T NEO conversion on my r34 as well all of the necessary supporting mods. Message me if you need any help or advice. I can also link you to forum threads with lots of useful information that i learned from.

You can use the coolant drain plug as water feed and the nipple off the thermostat housing as water return.
For oil... you can use a brass "T" between the oil pressure sensor and block as feed and for the return, it is very simple. its the plug where the DET drain would be. but on the NEO rb's , that plug wont be there and  you will have the head drain plug (same size) approx. 6  inches infront. Check out the topic on this forum called "doing a plus t on a unopened rb25neo". you will learn 75% of everything you have to do from there. the rest you can figured out or you can easily get your questions answered from searching the forums here or by private messaging guys like @DatsunBanana @NEO25T @Rusty Nuts and myself included

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
