Sorry mate if I mistakenly said GTST instead of GTT but I think everyone knew what I meant. And yes the Rb25det is far more reliable than the Neo engine due to the Neo having all the environmental add ons giving more sensor issues. Anyone who has been into building performance engines will tell you the Neo is not the choice. Just have a look at anywhere that does rebuilt 25's and they are never using a Neo its always the RB25det and for very good reason.

Lol

Whatever man.

Neo has rb26 rods, solid lifters, better cams, better vct system, better comp chamber and pistons , better injectors.

Your negatives don't add up.

Never mind.

So tell me why not one sells built Neo engines? Just trying Nizzpro or Lewis engines and there not building Neo's there all building 25det engines Because they are by far stronger. Yes the Neo stock vs stock 25det puts the Neo in front for the exact reasons you said hence why it has 20kw more power.

Neo is a 25det.

So your telling me they are Neo engines they are building and selling ? Stick with your Stagea mate.

No, most of the cheap Chinese parts used in most build kits are designed for the older RB25det, the newer 'Neo' RB25det is a better base to start with, especially if your car came out with it, as you aren't allowed to run an older engine than the car in Australia.

Sidefeed injectors are crap.

Stagea's decimate all.

You are entitled to believe whatever you want I suppose. No need to throw attempted insults around.

to save starting a new thread, somewhat related. Its probably a crystal ball type question, but how much of an impact will USA coming into the market for gtr's have on their resale value/supply vs demand etc? Its just one country after all, or am i being a bit naive as to how much they desire these cars?

Actually your question is coincidentally very timely.

A group in USA called "Chasing Classic Cars" held a static display at Blackhawk Museum on May 3rd (so just 2 days ago).

There were 900 cars on display. And not one was a Skyline according to my friend L Barry Chafin who races RX8s over there.

IMHO, much will depend on how much the R32 GTRs will be cherished and then admired. L Barry I think believes that word will spread about the beloved BNR32 like wildfire. He says (being in the know) that he wants one himself.

So if L Barry is correct, the demand for the BCNR33 in 2020 looks promising. But it all hinges on growth of demand at Japanese auctions for the R32 GTR.

I'm wondering if our USA neighbours have eyes on R32 GTRs in UK, Asia and here.

I'm an Admin of another car club which includes international members and that is why I'm familiar with the above.

If your after a daily driver then don't get a GTR unless your willing to visit the ATM on a more regular basis. An R34 GT-ST is a great option but the neo motor lacks the reliability of its predecessor in the 33's. It all comes down to how much your planning on modifying the car too.

You're a funny guy.

R33 GTR owner don't really worry about all this shit.

We know they are the best in every way. So we don't sell them.

We just enjoy the beautiful curves, the sleak lines, the aggressive stance, the better performance, and they are much nicer to drive...... and of course they were the fastest out of all of them.

Hopefully all the others get sold to the US ....... Less ugliness on Aussie roads.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      65601-05U00 is the hood latch. 62550-08U31 is the support that holds it to the radiator core support. They are all super discontinued so I don't really have any great leads on how to source this stuff.

      GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.

      R32 gtr hood latch support/lock part number search

      By eli995 · Posted

      Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan)

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
