Started to finish taking apart the rest of this Neo motor today. It came out of a automatic Laurel, not an R34. Anyways, had a few surprises. Head was solid lifter'd as I thought, and I think it has the bigger RB26 sized rods (you tell me) but the crank.........dscn2815.jpg

I thought Neo's had the "fixed" crank collar? Does anybody have a picture handy of a long collared snout? This isn't one, right?

And here's some pics of a rod. Looks thicker than normal, right? Just want to make sure since I don't have one here to compare it too.

I've had my Neo rebuilt (It's from a 6/98 R34 GT-t), it did have the RB26 style rods and solid lifters but didn't have the fixed crank snout as you have also just discovered. Had a Pro Engines Jun copy crank collar made up and fitted for it, which you could also get done.

This is just a parts motor, so I'm not really trying to spend any money on it. I just thought I'd be getting a fixed crank for parts too and I was a little disappointed. Thanks for the confirmation on the rods and the crank though guys.

Strange. Everything I've read on the internet says it should have the fixed snout, RB26 rods (which it has), solid lifters (which it has), and the head is the same as the n/a neo motor, but the first one I had which came out of a R34 n/a car was way different from this turbo motor's head.

I was also under the impression that R34 Neo motors were supposed to have the fixed snout, but after further investigation (and having a motor pulled apart :() I discovered that it's only really late model R32 and R33/34 RB26's that have it.

Yeah, I think that's the case. I wonder where that mis-information came from? I'm not actually to worried about it though. After all the talk about needing one I see on the internet, I don't actually know of anybody in person or even on the internet that has had a motor die because of it. I see RB26's die of oil starvation, but always due to the crappy oil pan design, not the crank collar.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open

      R34 power steering

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
