so i dont know if this has been brought up before and i tried to briefly search to no avail.

i have a 93 r33 s1,

im wondering if its possible or if theres any point to converting to a neo head and whatnot. not a complete engine swap just the head.

is there any point to it?, if so any increase of anything or is it totally stupid and pointless.

im wondering because the neo is suppose to be emission efficient or something like that and here in canada they are anal out the ass about emissions and skylines in general. so if theres a way that its worth it to make them happy and gain any performance then im willing to do it.

thankyou so much for any help

dont think they have significantly different blocks, people run both neo heads and hydraulic rb25 heads on RB30 blocks, so i cant see why you couldnt fit one to a non-neo rb25

but dont take my word as gospel, im just taking an guess from i know

if it is possible, then the advantages would be changing from hydraulic lifters to solid lifters (like on a 26), and more modern cyl head design.

but for the cost involved it would probably be just as easy to put an rb26 head on your block

the neo also has smaller combustion chambers than both the rb25 and 26 so you will be raising your compression ratio. so you will probably need to fit some lower comp pistons to get ur comp ratio where you want it.

in my opinion its a bit pointless. yes the neo is a slightly better head but i cant see you gaining a great deal of power or reducing emissions

    • That's f**ked up. I'd guess it's more likely that you have an entire S13 subframe in there. Does it still have HICAS mounting points? Seeing as it is quite possible that yours is the only such converted car in the world, you'll probably struggle to find someone who can tell you from direct experience. 'Twere I you, I'd be looking for 4 stud Skyline rear brakes and convert back. At a minimum. Preferably go find all the stuff you need to put it back to 5 stud (assuming you're happy to change wheels) and upgrade to some decent brakes. You don't even need much stock stuff. Don't need calipers or rotors, as you can go fully aftermarket. Just needs hubs and the other bits and bobs that are different to what you have now.
    • The engine has nothing to do with it. The physical space behind the headlight is the limiting factor. And the height. The height of the NS70 is the same as stock. So the clamp bar across the top goes on nice. The battery tray is big enough for it to sit on. The X is for extra capacity - it has even more lead in it than the non-X NS70. Heavy f**ker. But it's not a track car, so I will suffer a couple of extra kg. In the case of the R34, maybe the physical space there is not as deep (forward-backward, not up down). Hence why they say the 60 is the biggest. But I would never trust a catalogue to tell me what will fit. I have the car. I have the existing battery. I have the tape measure. I have the dimensions of all the available batteries. I find the biggest box that will go in. (With the right terminals in the right places, of course).  
    • Hello! I have been having a hard time finding the answer to this question… I have a R32 GTS-T Sedan than has been 4 lug swapped using S13 hubs, rotors, and brakes. The front has also been converted to S13 suspension.    When the swap was completed, the handbrake cables were never hooked up, as the S13 rear calipers are the “handbrake”, and not the typical drum on rotor that the R chassis are. Does anyone know handbrake cables that will work for this conversion? I’d like to not use a hydraulic handbrake and stick with the traditional cable style. My original thoughts were to go with S14 cables and try to make them work, since I’m pretty sure S13 cables will be too short.    Any help would be appreciated!
    • I did some research, considering you have a neo engine, how is that battery compatible? I checked centuries website and super cheap and says it's not compatible. Only this full size one is. https://www.centurybatteries.com.au/products/ns60-mf
    • No, lets be honest here. I went to Winton and did a track day, for all the mods and V8 power and craziness I posted up a time that a K24 stock motor Honda Accord can do on the same tyres (narrower, too) 250kw and learning how to drive the f**kin thing is the sweet spot.
