nope. basically the same engine but run a bit more efficiently. still an rb25det. the variable timeing engines are VE eg SR20VE (variable cams as opposed ot double cams)

The RB25DET original has VVT but its only like On/Off whereas the NEO has fully variable VVT. Its been covered on here before.

Also, the NEO has 60N-m more max torque and more than 1000rpm earlier in the rev range, so basically a lot more torque at lower revs...

Its also got an extra 20kw peak power, and to top it off, its a touch more economical as well. So yes, I'd say its improved to run noticeably more efficiently. Not a huge difference (appart from torque) but a noticeable difference.

Most of these improvements are all related to the improved VVT, which may be why someone mentioned it being nissan's answer to V-TEC. But I think nissan's answer to V-TEC could just be the TURBO lol! Give me boost and bucketloads of torque anyday over those tiny V-TEC engines that need a car that weighs less than a jellybean to make them go. Sure they're quick, and the technology is great, but they just lack torque.

(maybe I'd think differently if I had a lighter car, but having performance AND practicallity in the one car is very very nice)

I've also been told the NEO has direct injection, but maybe someone on here could confirm that?

It can get confusing referring to both engines because the engine code is the same for both.

The NEO name is probably just given to differentiate between the two. Nothing to do with V-TEC at all in the name.

I should have asked whether the RB25DET has VVT, as I thought all that NEO is is just VVT (like VTEC) anyway.

Take the R33 up to 5,500rpm and there is a nice kick. I assume this is the VVT coming in. Is that right?

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.

      Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
