Hi, I am new to the worlds of skyline as I use to own a s13 turbo, and I have a r34 gtt coming in about 3 months time, just wondering what difference is the r34 rb25det neo and the r33 version of the rb25det? what is this neo thing? also what turbo does the r34 have? and is it ball bearing? sorry bout the noob quest, but since im moving to a skyline now, i wanna know as much about them biggrin.gif also any other cool features or anything about r34s that u guys can tell me?

It is ball bearing, and ceramic exhaust, nylon intake. The housing is a bit bigger apparently.

The R34 put out 206kw

The R33 put out 187kw

Slightly bigger turbo, slightly bigger intercooler... i'm sure there's a few more differences, but those are the main ones that I know of.

yeah r34 have a slightly bigger turbo, but depending on what series r33 motor it is, will determine if it has a nylon compressor wheel (series 2 r33 has it). from what i gather the r33 motor is a little bit better. something to do with the vct or something.

you will find the rb25 motor a lot different to (i'm assuming you had an sr20 motor) the s13. if your motor was relativevly stock (e.g. stock turbo, just with more boost, exhaust, fmic), you will find the rb25 pulls a lot more down low. i had a 180sx with an sr20det in it, and it was rather sluggish down low compared to my girlfriends car (sss pulsar- natro sr20 with 112hp atw). they pull once they come on boost at about 4000rpm. the rb25 having a ballbearing turbo starts to boost a lot earlier and pulls a lot harder down low and are a lot smoother through the rev range.

Hey mate,

interesting thread but this has been covered before I think...

I didnt think the R34 had a ball bearing turbo, just thought it was a little larger... Can anyone confirm this?

Anyhow, heres what im quite sure of....

-They have slightly larger intercoolers

-Variable cam timing on both the inlet and exhaust cams (as opposed to only the inlet which the r33 rb25det has)

- Solid type lifters (same setup as Rb26)

- Different shaped inlet manifold

R34 is 206kw R33 is 187kw.

R34 Rb25DET has

*larger intercooler,

*solid lifters like GTR,

*different cam profiles,

*constantly adjustable variable valve timing on inlet (not just advance or retard 10deg like R33 RB25, R34 can vary it up to 40 odd degress and anywhere in between)

*traction control

*larger turbine housing on turbo (otherwise same as series 2 R33 turbo)

*larger top feed injectors (instead of side feed)

can't think of what else is different at the moment?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
