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 😄
https://jp-carparts.com/nissan/partlist.php?maker=nissan&type=81&fig=140A&part=14510AA000&page=2
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 :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.

      Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.

      So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
