Hey Guys,

Been offered an engine out of a very late series 1 stagea to go into my r33. The guy I'm buying it off hasn't opened it up but is determined that its a neo inside. It has a neo crank sensor (plastic cover) but the r33 coils will bolt up to it and not the neo coils. Now looking at the tomei website as I was going to put tomei cams in it, There is a different cam for 25's between 9/97 - 8/98. Looking on FAST at work all the parts (head, lifters etc) are the same number as all the R33 parts. The only thing in common with a R34 is the CAS. Talking to a reputable engine builder that builds race 25's, he has told me that if it has a plastic cover CAS it MUST be a neo. Has anyone come across this late S1 stagea or very late R33 type engine before and if so what internals has it got? As far as I can tell its a noraml 25 with a neo type CAS? Any help much appreciated.

Is the engine local to you? Might want to get someone with rb25det neo/standard experience to pop down there with you and check it out...

Are there other visual differences other than the plastic covers? Maybe get the seller to take a bunch of pics of it for you and post them up here?

Yep, thats what it is. In 1997-98 and immediately prior to the R34 there were a few R33's made that had a few different things about them. The 40th Anniversary model was one of them. You could say they are a series 2.5, but they are not recognised as such. There is a thread some where on here with differences between models, not sure if the '98 is covered though. They are not a Neo.

If you get Tomei cams then order for the '98 R33, otherwise the CAS key will be wrong.

Question: is the inlet manifold of late series 2 like a neo or like a 33 manifold?

The answer to this could help OP and further my knowledge aha.

Well, they're not Neo's, so they don't have any of the things that were actually different different (ie that actually matter). That's the head, the inlet manifold......

R33 intake manifold will bolt onto a neo head so it is a possibility that they made them with 33 intakes.

Actually, there might be something in that. I was looking to buy a Neo a while back and I think it was at Adelaide Jap that there was an engine that they claimed was a Neo - but it didn't have the R34 inlet manifold. Engine was from a C34 Laurel. Had Neo CAS, Neo type ECU.....but looked like an old 25. But here's the kicker - the guys there said that they'd pulled the top off it and swore that it had solid lifters, just like any Neo.

So, I wonder if there is not a vague halfway motor hiding in Nissan's closet that needs investigating.

      Anyone have this problem with their temperature gauge?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor

      Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.

      If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
