hey kids,

i have jus picked my self up a rb20det auto laurel. car is being built for drift, so i will be doing a 5 speed conversion. im after some parts, or info on where i may be able to find these parts.

i am goin to go straight for a rb25 gear box, 5 puck single plate and a 1 piece tail shaft straight off. cause i dont need to be pulling the gearbox out in 5 months time blown to bits. had a read of the rb25 box into ceffy thread. some good info. >_<

few questions i have though;

1: what clutch master clyinder can i use? r32? s13 or doesn matter a feck? or is it best just to buy a brand new one and be done with it?

2: pedal setup? r32? s13? or any its all the same?

3: what bell housing will i need? rb20 or rb25? or are they the same?

4: gearbox mouting? do i need a 5 speed cross member? if so do i go for a rb25/r33 one?

5: where the feck do i find a 5 speed console surround? and the rear section of the centre console that houses the conventional handbrake?

6: if i manage to find a 5 speed console/handbrake setup, how do i go about converting the foot handbrake to a pull style one?

thats all the questions i have for now, but will probly think of some more.

thanx huge in advance for any info/adivce you may be able to privide :D

cheers

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
