Little bit late "2days" but i saw the engine.
Mechanic will send the head to "machine" shop for testing but after a long inspection himself he do not see any damage on head/valves or whole cylinder head(no cracks or anything like that)...even head gasket is ok.
Block and piston(s) are in great condition and he was very suprised how the engine looked(very clean/undamaged) (engine has 210k Km)

So after my Q WTF is wrong then...he thinks one of the valves do not close properly...He still need to look at the camshafts and everything "above" but it seem this "could" be something minor...

On the other hand...one part gone wrong kinda bad 😄

This part(as seen on photos) gone bad....the whole section where water comes in is destroyed..."corroded" away...

So here is the question on that part...it seems that from factory there was "metal" pipe stuck into the housing and THAT "melt" away?
Or does anyone know if it is how we think it is? Cuz everything around is ok...only that "something" corroded away completely.
We will try to weld some pipe if we can...cuz this part alone costs around 1200 USD and that is before taxes/shipping...and god know if they even had this in stock and in the reasonable time.

@Hendry: i hope we can too but on RB25DE/T this part is different ...in RB20DE NEO it "splits" into two parts...on others the manifold is one part...and that "corroed" part looks different too.
But i saw some pictures of it and it looks like there was some metal pipe too...s-l1600.jpg

This picture is from RB25DET NEO and looks little bit different but yeah...100% metal pipe...mine is/was the same it should be easy to repair 🙂

And this is part from RB20DE NEO...metal pipe too 🙂 


On the other hand my mechanic discovers that on 99,9% problem is exhaust valve on cyl 5. (both of them)
They leaking fluid...but the head is OK so tomorrow we send it to a machine shop to check if the valves could be machined or if we need to order some new ones.

But so far it is looking "good" 🙂

Are you okay getting parts from Japan at the moment? My local post office won't let me send anything to the UK currently due to the Ukraine situation. DHL, etc seem to be okay but the prices are well.. unenticing. 

Sorry for later reply. 
Yeah i ordered many things from Japan(JP Parts) and some from Dubai and everything was ok...
JP Parts are EXTREMELY quick...like 4 days from payment i got my stuff...yeah they are little bit expensive but i dont mind...iam happy that they have the parts 🙂 

But yeah iam using DHL...our local post office sucks hard 😄

It looks like those are very common problems on these NEOs. My water pipe sleeve was also moderately corroded but I can still keep using it. You can just pull it out and have a standard sleeve with a lip machined, or just look for any pipe you have laying around that would be a snug fit, but certainly would need to have a lip at the end so the hose can seal well.

Also when i took apart my RB20 Neo I also noticed ALL of the exhaust valves and their seats were very pitted, whereas the intake valves looked spotless. This is a very low mileage motor, mind you (I am guessing less than 60k km). I ended up lapping all the valves and polishing the chambers to give it more flow since I will be turbocharging.

Also, can you link exactly which JP parts store website you are referencing? I want to avoid Amayama also as I just saw they have 60-90 day delivery times which is insane. I am almost ready to assemble my engine, I will be updating my build journal with it so keep an eye out if you want to see more about the 20 Neo :)

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option
