Yep, just get a cheap R33 RB25. By the time you get to swapping turbos on them, all RB25s perform the same.

not quite... a low km one from an auto stag is the best ;) (26 block - that and I have one)

I can't decide who's more retarded...

Mohsen, or the rest of you for still thinking you can talk sense into Mohsen

ZING!

Oh then what's the diff between neo and 33 liner?

there is a few differences that you can search FIP for.... but NVCT is on all 25's

Well said...

That's what I'm still deciding with my R33: track basher and let it go au naturale, or fix the hail damage with a full respray and keep it nice. Either way, my wallet loses.

My friend built his car over 6yrs for the track but kept it in perfect condition. Kept it in the garage, less than 10,000km a year. Interior and exterior in show room condition with a lot of custom work. Was his pride and joy.

After 6 years, car was ready for track. Second attempt on track, hit oil on the last lap of the day and smashed side of car on barriers. 6yrs of insurance at agreed value (high premium) and barely any driving, car written off in a second with no insurance payout...

So what do you do now?

Internals are also different in the NEO. Rods are GTR rods, solid lifters, n1 style oil pump off the top of my head

These are more reliability than performance, though...waste of time paying more money for a later 25 if all you're chasing is 260rwkw IMO.

Yeah I agree, you wouldn't expect much difference between a NEO and non-neo at that power level

Admittedly I prefer the sound of the NEO engine, but I think the exhaust note is different mainly because of the larger rear housing. My exhaust note was much deeper after installing my high flow.

Couldnt see a problem with it as long as it fits and is in good condition

What jacket is it?

Nah that's fine, it's not like buying second hand helmets. If it fits go for it.

i see

don't have one in mind but they always pop up here and there

here's just an example

this

lol 400kw trying to be the first 32 in orbit?

big red - sau vic member 400rwkw r32

explain, are they a 26 block with 25 head and internals?

exactly this. they also spend their lives behind an auto

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
    • I need a great maintenance workshop around Idaho, if you know one please let me know..
