Heres my baby as she shits today 22/11/14 also some pics of my mates GTR's.. Tomorrow I start removing the exhaust manifold and turbo off, remove the intake side and prep that for painting.. if I have time I'll start taking the sump off. Mine currently has a AWD sump..

So been tidying the Neo up when I can. Thermostat housing was full of "rusty gunk".. hopefully a few wash/rinse cycles after installed cleans it up. So here is how the Neo sits. After 3 years of laying around I have used some WD40 in the bores and moved the crank pulley by hand to free and debris/build up. Hopefully it all goes to plan.. Still to do the 100,000 service, water pump, pulleys, belt, seals.. Today I had my good friend help me, and together we pulled the gearbox and motor out.. bit of a mission but happy to have it out.. He is lucky to have a "pit" at his house, so handy! Started at 9am, finished by 2pm not bad considering we talk too much!

If anyone buys the high flow and is looking to change the rear to an OP6, I will have one available as I'm going to use a 21U for a little more response. Great turbo otherwise. Good luck with the sale

I have two, cannot confirm condition, bought as spares. One I was told is bog stock bought from a Skyline wrecker here, other has a stage two MV shift kit.. Also located in Sydney. Could possibly freight on a pallet. Just had 170kg worth of rims sent via TNT Melb to Syd for $180... If interested send me a PM

haha Johnny, already got the NEO.. by the time the head is checked etc it'll work out similar coin to just throw the neo in. Hope you ready to tune me next year

paint looks like glass in those last pics!

Some NEO RB25 powers! These are the plans - change rear housing on turbo to a 21U as I find it too laggy for my street driving.. - install the modified torque converter I have (3500rpm stall) - re-tune as can no longer get United 100.. weighing up E85 or P98 - finally install the B&M Here is how she is as of 11/2014. Sitting on 300zx stockies while the Meisters get the rash repaired.. Oh yeah I have a wheel fetish!.. Heres my TCI modded torque converter.. Brand new RDA slotted and dimpled rotors front and rear.. leaving them boxed/sealed as they go on with the pads after the NEO swap.. And here is the front pair of Meisters back from Barrel Brothers @ Milperra. Love them!

Got over the gauges looking pretty crap, so bought some cheap digital 52mm. Quite accurate. Water Temp, Trans Temp, Voltage. Did some searching on decent pads as whatever is in there is quite squeeky on slow speed light pedal braking.. So got these Remsa's front and rear! And this is where the story reaches almost present day.. So last week jumped in the car, grabbed my gym bag and went and got my mate.. Leaving his a few streets later I noticed a red light out of the corner of my eye. Look down and water temp is at 115 deg! Look at the cluster and its 3/4.. Drive it straight home and take my ute to the gym. Once cooled, pop the bonnet and check the coolant.. bubbles, small consistent bubbles. Grabbed my mates compression tester last weekend and did a dry, semi warm comp test. Cyl 1 - 150psi Cyl 2 - 120psi Cyl 3 - 120psi Cyl 4 - 145psi Cyl 5 - 150psi Cyl 6 - 155psi So weighed up the options to either do a top end rebuild and hope the rings are worn aswell amongst other things, or.....

Replaced the hose, bleed the system and everything seemed fine. A week later went to WSID on a Sunday street meet confident of some decent times. 13.6 @ 113 mph with 2.6 60 footer. Stock converter wont allow me to build enough boost to leave the line hard and fast. So next on the list, source a converter. In the mean time I wanted the sell the Varrsteons..and was able to swap for these babies!! Little weak but I love them Minor rash that I will have repaired later.. 18x8 +41 Work Meisters Have to run a 5mm slip on spacer on the front for clearance.. Also got sick of my headlights fading after a few months, so finally got around to cutting the front peice off and painting gloss black. Looks ok but not 100% sure I like...

Heres the results. Tuned on United 100 petrol. Mods Unopened RB25 R34 OP6 3" Turbo Back Exhaust Five-O 750cc Side Feeds Deatschwerks DW200 Adaptronic E420D Stage III Shift Kit Trans Cooler 270rwkw @ 18psi So happy as Larry with the result I enjoyed the car, driving to the gym and on weekends. Went out one Friday night to Aqua Golf @ Penrith and when driving back, literally 5 mins from home pulled up at an intersections and car stalled. Smoke/steam came up from under the bonnet and to top it off it was raining. Car wouldnt crank over so popped the bonnet and after a while looking around discovered this little sucker had blown.. Once the car was cool, filled with water and limped her home at 1am..

July saw me buy some braided hose, earls fittings and a smallish catch can.. Which alone with my stock airbox painted in wrinkle coat. Also the E420D arrived and I made arrangements with Jez to have the 750cc's fitted, Ecu wired in and car tuned. I also heard from Craigs and my shift kit was ready. Dropped the car off and 2 days later all done. Chirps into second above 3000rpm.. Here is a pick when Jez had her on the dyno..

I had been in talks with Craig @ Craigs Automatics and he put me on KEAS engeering who made a stage III shift kit to suit me RE0401A gearbox. So while waiting almost 6 weeks for that to be made I decided best time to choose and ecu. With the OP6 installed and running 10psi iI got in talks with DVS Jez about ecu options, and was sold on buying an E420D and piggybacking it. So the stock OEM ecu controls the gearbox while the E420D controls the engine (timing/fuel etc) So ordered one off Stao Found some nice LED taillights and finally sourced OEM driving lights. Being a S1.5 this was optioned. Had all the OEM wiring and switch in the dash. Sweet! Also put some 35w HIDs, LED parkers and dash lights Was on the look out or a cheap type-m front bar since mine was replaced at some point? Any found one with some damage that will be painted some time. Made a little gauge holder for my centre dash. Holds 2x 60mm and 1x52mm gauges (Oil - Trans Temp, O2 Wideband, Boost)

I'm abit of a wheel whore, always swapping.. 19x8 +18 Varrstoen 2.2.1 and of course added some Volk stickers...heheh By now its almost June and turbo is back from Stao ready to go on.. Little comparison, stock R33 21U vs R34 OP6 Came across a twin tip rear muffler with a 3" inlet that couldnt say no to. Coincidentally the same bloke I bought my Blitz intercooler off.

Cheap 33 GTR wheels, sprayed them black, and also painted my calipers silver. Didnt look too bad.. It was around April that I had sourced 2x OP6 turbos and some Splitfires coilpacks. Sent one of the OP6's down to Stao for high-flowing and on sold the spare. I then ordered some five-o 750cc injectors from America, which arrived in a week, along with a Deatchswerks DW200 fuel pump.

Like anything, its cheap for a reason. One of the rears was knocking so found a pair of S14 D2 to throw in.. and they gave me base height adjustment so cant complain. I then started gathering performance parts.. - B&M shifter, from a R33 - Trans Oil Cooler again from a R33 - Blitz return flow intercooler I also sold the Equips and tried on some 20's, unfortunately one was buckled and vibrated hard!

Then went about getting rid of the shitty canon and found a cheap 3" mild steel dump/front pipe. I also made a trip down to a friend in Nowra who had a almost silent Veilside stainless steel cat-back exhaust with a nice tip. Went about heat wrapping the front pipe and also found a 3" high flow cat. So went about putting this on. It was about February where I came across some HKS Hiper D coilovers for a bargain price..

So first thing I had to do was remove the horrid chrome wheels... Luckily I had some Work Equips handy to throw on... I also at the time time of sale/trade, removed my 32GTR Seats, Eboost2 and Defi 1-Din.

have you checked the button on the centre console isn't selected "snow" this will make car take off in second... *edit* are you saying when the car is in "D" you take off in second but get 3rd and 4th aswell?

Let me start off by winding back the clock almost 12 months ago.. I meet up with "George" to possibly swap my R32 GTST for an R33 GTST auto.. I know right.. why?!?! I always had wanted to try the auto turbo route to get quicker times down the 1/4. So with that in mind and my R32 running a best of 12.6 @ 113, I set a goal to get into the 11's.. #questfor11s This is the first pic I took at the Shell servo when we met up to check the cars out... Only mods, 18' Chromies, JVC CD Player and crappy rear muffler cannon..

do a leak down test to confirm rings, valves or head gasket..

looking good!

worn rings leading to pressuring the crankcase with fuel from the combustion process, perhaps?

Swaybars compatible with R33 GTST?

Does it just crank, and not even sound like its trying to fire? I'll just throw these out there: 1) second hand CAS could be faulty 2) disable alarm if possible to eliminate 100% (seen faulty alarms still allow reds depending on set-up) 3) spark issue? 4) timing issue (could've jumped a tooth or stripped ribs on the belt? Worth having a look to see if the cams gears /belt spin while cranking.

Just my 2cents on JDMPlanet, I bought genuine Nissan rocker cover gasket kit through them and had no issues 100% genuine.
