The whole harness will need to be rewired...the ECU's are way different with the R34 being a fussy bastard with respect to having EVERY sensor working correctly.

As long as you've got the manual to work from, it should be easy enough.

I was just talking to a friend this afternoon about doing such a conversion in the future...

pending on circumstances.

the gearbox will need to be changed, wiring, loom, ecu, basically everything that made the

RB25DET run in the 34 will need to be brought over to the 33

lol ur looking at 10grand mate rofl

6 ish for an engine

then u need bigger brakes

better suspension

bigger fuel pump

as eug said a gearbox and thats around 2 - 3 grand LOL

then theres the installation and that aint cheap mate so basically the engine , gear box, good brakes good suspension and fuel pump will set u back 10grand already if u get suspension , fuel pump and brakes 2nd hand then u'll still be looking at 9grand or so, and then installation of the engine and the complicated wiring the r34 contains will set u back a shit load more.

just put a rb25det into my 32 however it wasnt a neo. pretty straight forward although i didnt personally do it. tailshaft needs to be fabricated as does the gearbox mount. needed to get a new pinnion assembly for speedo going from mech to electrical however not sure if u will encounter this problem being a later model car to start with. i know in queensland regulation states u must have brakes at least the equivalent from whateva car the engine is from, personally i went for s15 as being 4 stud they didnt have to get redrilled or anything and are actually even better then the standard 33 objects i think. (dont quote me on it). depending on diff to my require different diff

cheers, matt

gearbox may hold up if ur gentle. but then again whats the point in havin a turbo car huh??? i looked into this b4 and this is a VERY messy job hey. If its what u wanna do, then go ahead, just make sure u got a fair amount of money in the kitty otherwise ur ride will spend a shitload of time in the shed.

Realistically...the extra cost of putting the NEO in an R33 isn't really worth it..just put in an RB25DET from an R33 and you'll save thousands which could go towards a bigger turbo etc etc which will put you way ahead in power stakes than the mroe expensive NEO

i have read somewhere that the neo6 has a few extra goodies like stronger internals??? (dont quote me on that) which means you can probably run more boost) it makes more power stock like 200ish kw? and has a far greater potential than the standard RB25DET

your fuel pump wont need to be changed, my stocko is running my V8 with nitrous, there a pretty good standard pump, You will need to do the gearbox as yours will probably not handle the power as well as the diff, depending on how u drive, i broke 3 diffs with the rb25de though so maybe im a little harsh on the car. theres not much else u need, brakes can be an afterthought and dont need to be done straight away nor does the suspension. Ive had the V8 in my gts with stock suspension for almost a year now, its a little soft but u can make do with it.

About the brakes, it depends on what rules u use, there are a number of sets of rules regarding engine conversions, All i had to do is make sure my car had 4 wheel disc brakes.... Mine definately arent up to the task but rules said it was fine.

Depending on where ur from u will more than likely have to get it engineered.

hahhaa. im not to sure wether ur pullin the piss.... so i'll just clarify it. lol. RB25NEO is almost a direct swap into a r33. Onli difference is coilpacks from memory. U can grab the ECU from the r34, not sure if is reprogramable, otherwise just go aftermarket. Then just bolt on turbo, manifold, intercooler, etc. I rekon u could get away with this option for abt 5k.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
