Hi guys, never really officialy introduced myself but thought I should post up my progress for anyone interested.

My Car is a Nissan 95 240sx (200sx)
Motor is a ER34 Neo6 RB25, with GTR Crank.
CP pistons
GTR Rods
ARP Main/Rod Bolts
ACL Main/Rod Bearings

I chose this motor thinking they had fixed the oil drive, but i was wrong.
Here's some pics!

I'll start with the beginning when I took her apart the first time.

before head came off..cams have no wear/sludge buildup..low miles

most of parts



water pump



front w/ belt and pulleys

clutch disc from tennessee clutch and supply w/ reworked pressure plate $120

couple before shots before the KA was pulled



get joe pesci off my car



out with the old



here's both R33 and KA crossmembers side by side to see the difference



how she sits now



bumper before/after...little front mount flowage





garage is packed





motor's 99.999984% ready to go in

So all was good until i decided to remove the oilpan to reseal it and came across the skinny oil drive.

apparantly mine was one of the ealier motors that wasn't fixed

crank snout





oil pump

some parts

greddy manifold will work with slight tweaking of the fuel rail and Q45 Throttle body









ordered a tomei oil restrictor from Nengun

and here we are as of today.

I just got the motor back after the machine shop assembled

- rb26 crank
- cp pistons
- standard 26 rods
- ACL main/rod bearings
- ARP main/rod bolts
- honed cylinder walls
- had the head/block hot tanked and resurfaced
- rotating assembly balanced ( really don't think was necesary )

little over $500 later and BAM!











i chose to tap the rear of the head to fit an external oil drain to the sump



I'd like to have it in the car on mounts by this weekend, but more than likely will just paint the block, assemble it and get it ready for next weekend.
I've still got to get my harness back, tap the oil pan for the return line, and port match ex and intake ports/manifolds.

thx for looking!

so we got the motor on mounts tonight... so close yet so far.

on to the pics







mounts fit like a glove





a little persuading of the firewall for the oil drain to clear, damn close and what a PITA that was.



oodles of clearance i plan on running 2 12" pullers.



can't wait to trash this pos



and the money shot




alot of small stuff now..hard shit's outta the way.
this week ill probably spray bomb the valve covers again, clean up the bay, bolt up the trans x-member

nice work man
love your progress.
How hard was it to source the NEO motor overthere?

thx man, it's gettin there, still waiting on my harness to be sent back from being converted. taking waaaaayy too long

as far as sourcing the motor, wasn't too hard, we have alot of importers who are able to get just about any motor.
