As far as I know they are all same... unless youa re talking about RB25DE NEO...

Neo engine is just fancy way of saying New RB25 block... - in this case there is minor differences.

series one or two means there are cosmetically differnces and interior - just like turbo GTS25T

coil packs ignitor is different on series II i believe

Yep, that's the difference on a DE. Look at the rear of the cam cover, if S1 there will be a black box containing the ignitors for the coils. If S2 there will be no box, instead all you'll see is the 4 mounting studs for the box.

What year is your car? If 93 - 94 then almost certainly S1 engine, if 95 then could be either, if 96+ then almost certainly S2.

you'll also notice the early series 1 has no variable valve timing (like the R32 RB20DE, DET's and the RB25DE that came in R32's) wheras the later Series 1 and 2 do have it.

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      That's convinced me I'll bump up the G30-660 to 770   Any idea if the difference in boost pressure? Cheers

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
