Okay once again from the very VERY limited knowledge i have it is all a pretty easy swap but i think the 'yoke' needs to be shortened??????!!!

Good source of knowledge for conversions to Cefiro's is this site

d1nz.org.nz/forum

Since the Kiwi's get the cheaper RB20e auto versions 90% of the time they all are conveting them! :D

My useless 2c ahaha

Ando

no worries

also from my calls today - the 33 yoke is needed and keep the ceffy tailshaft - just needs to be modified

also all the gear selector etc is interchangable from what i've been told

can also use rb20 gearbox crossmember

possibly need the transtunnel 'massaged' a little wider...

Ok I've had it done.

Transtunnel is fine. Dont need to touch it.

Obviously clutch, fly wheel etc all the same.

You will need an R33 clutch slave, I got mine new from nissan for $88.00.

Yes you need the R33 yoke, then you need the cef tailshaft, the idea would be to shorten this. However if your center bearing is stuffed like mine, then you might want to look at getting a 1 peice shaft as this is cheaper than replacing the center bearing apparently (lighter also, so you get back some of that extra weight of the gearbox + less rotating mass)

Rb20 cross member is fine, we just moved mine and put some spacers in. You might need an engineer to look at this to make sure its legal. Mine is actually mod plated.

The speedo... You need your red gear off the R33 speedo sender (the one that goes in the gearbox) this then needs to be attached to a navara speedo drive (32702 - 02G17 pinnion assembly), should be about $22-25 new from nissan, this then connects up to your speedo cable like normal. Just test it tho, should be pretty accurate.

Get some of the seals replaced on the box if they need it. You REALLY dont want oil leaking on to your clutch.

Get your fly wheel/pressure plate/clutch all checked out while the box is out. I had to replace mine that was a cost I didnt allow for.

And why does the gear selector matter? Wouldnt your RB25 box come with one? I dont belive we used my RB20 one.

But yeah, once its done your more afraid your crank is going to snap in your poor little rb20 than your gearbox :)

thats exactly info i needed thanks heaps DD :domokun:

gearbox i'm getting has got yoke etc - clutch was just fitted recently also .

now the hunt is on for a r33 clutch slave

and if its that cheap to get speedo working i'll do that aswell :) - just gotta make sure that red thingo is there

whats it look like? and where?

thanks again - awesome info

Yeah dude, just go down to nissan and get the slave $88 cant go wrong.

OOOH!!!

BIG BIG BIG ONE!!!

You MUST get an S1 gearbox. If you get an S2 your going to have a LOT of stuffing about. The clutches are different (ie one pull ther other push)

AWSOME Article DD... this needs to be stickyed in the parts list of these forums...

shame u didnt type it out when i needed it 4mths ago ;)

Hehe, dude thats prob when mine was getting done :rofl:

hey, im doing the opposit of you guys in a way. im putting a r32 rb20det in to my rb20e powerd r33. i have the electric speedo. what i have been told is that i need the r32 gtst drive gear. what does it look like and where does it go?

cheers

LUCKILY i got an early model box with push type clutch ;)

When fitting the R33 gearbox, what modifications are you guys doing to the propshaft? We are putting an RB25DET engine and box into my cef and where wondering what the deal is?

Is there a propshaft that fits? Or do you need to make one.

Regards

Chris

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
