Engine going in is from later model (99-2003) R34 GTT 2.5l RB25DET NEO, slightly revised version of older RB25, mainly solid lifter, revised camshafts and a larger stock turbo.

Few updates from last weeks
Lots of work in progress and then problem coming as well
Fitting of stock parts, fitted windscreen, lights, few weatherstrip and all locks
Took the car for basic wiring run, lights are ON
After wiring done taking the car for engine start, IC and brakes and fuel lines etc
As the front brakes are from Toyota with vented rotors, but there is a problem coming, cant fit both the pads, looks like need to shim them a bit, TC and camber arms are installed
Test fitted the wheels as well, as sold my previous wheels, problem there again. Wheels are not clearing rear suspension parts, even coilovers are close as well.
I think bumpsteer has pushed things a bit down
Even the wheel hub seems to be interfering, but one thing for sure wheels are drooling
Will check again tomorrow after installing the tires. Most probably need spacers but still trying to find solutions and size recommendation as hub is different here compared to normal cars
Had time on Thursday to get the wheels installed on the car with tires to find all rubbing or any other issues. Rear ones came out a bit more stretched then front.
Rear on the Left and front on the right
Rear with center cap
Measured the lip for rear came around 6.9":)
Side by side
Got these Kics R40 Neochrome long open end lugs
Test fitment,
Front looks perfect except the rear problem, might go with 3mm/5mm spacer or trim the bumper steer spacer
Rear ones, car is still on the jack at the rear for camber arms fitting, but placement is ok and poke is slightly more, might come out a bit from fender flares.
Front brakes and rear brake are done and so was the brake lining, will be installing 1"brake booster. Only problem in the rear was to attached the ebrake/handbrake the clip pattern is different so trying to find a way around it.
Front camber arms and TC control rods installed
Installed my 19" Row Sterab oil cooler bought from GTM, have to work on some clean brackets.

Totally forgot to update it here
Copying some previous posts
Sent the car to Peak Performance few weeks back and finally they started working on it. I always loved their work
Work being done now and will be completed in few week:
Intercooler piping, will do weld joints once its finalized
Already changed the Radiator to another one ordered from CXRacing, its for 240z with an RB engine along with twin fan shround from flex-A-lite
Moving the Intercooler a bit to the front
Moving and flipping the oil cooler behind intercooler, as it was touching some body parts
Changing all hoses to new silicone hoses
Rerun the clutch lines
Rerun the brake lines to give a more neater look
Rerun the fuel lines from inside the car
Relocated the fuel pump inside the car
Changing differential mounts
Installing MSA front and rear sway bars
Installing/replacing all gauges with autometer ones
Installing HKS boost controller
Rest will update as it goes
Removed the stock fuel filter and cleaned up lots of things.
Can see the stock fuel line, piping will change now
Relocating the air filter near master cylinder
New Radiator, now hoses will run like stock RB engine bay, and better cooling, installed the flex-A-Lite twin fans along with shroud as before
Moved the intercooler
Moved the oilcooler behind the IC now

Clicked on the link
Suspension set up is looking good.
Great choice on changing the rims! The more I look the more they suit the car 100000001x better than previous wheel!
are you going to go sidemount inlet plenum to make the cooler piping easier? and the look 10x better. Will help performance a little, especially lag if you get the runner lengths right.

For Plenum we did route the piping on stock but then just ordered a GReddy style intake manifold along with fuel lines and 80mm throttle body. The problem is these intake manifold doesnt fit easily on NEO engine because of different injectors position and some difference in seats as well, but will do some custom work so lets see how it goes.
Next week car will be done in dynamat and then dash and interior panel work a bit till manifold and fuel rails are here.

Not that good, manifold and fuel rails fitted nicely, but the problem is coming lack of space after installing the 80mm throttle body, there is no space for idle motor and TPSUAE NEWBIE wrote:how did you end up going with this

Here are the pictures
Got these
Fuel rail even because of top and side feed injectors fitted, so all good.
Intake manifold is for series 1 engine but it fits perfectly fine. I got some machine work done on the intake and now throttle body is also fitted on it.
stock TPS and idle motor too big to go in

Sorry couldnt post updates just copying those from other forum
Loving the work being done on the car, didn't visit them for a week but as per owner of Peak Performance here in Dubai car is almost done and will be ready from his side by this week.
I took some pictures week back when they fitted the sway bars. I went with MSA sway bars both front and rear, usually people dont run rear sways on 240Z, but as I worked so much on the suspension so went with these as well. Not sure how the ride will be with coil overs, full front and rear suspension changed and all solid mounts for engine, differential.
Front Sway Bar
New holes drilled
Fits nicely with Techo Toy Tuning TC Rods and Camber arms.
Rear ones
Drilled in the body and bolted from inside the cabin
Oil cooler brackets are finalized
Will fit the wheels today so can do the final adjustments on the camber/caster and if the track needs to be widened or not
