Hey there, have got all the parts for my engine swap (rb30) into my cefiro and it should be built soon. Problem is i have a turbo rb20det gearbox but i dont think it has a chance of holding the power of the rb30.

The rb30 should be running with a gt3540r turbo and around 22psi so hopefully over 300kws atw.

I can get a gearbox (r33 gtst) from japan for a good price however arent to certain what bits id need to use to convert the car from auto to manual.

I had a parts skyline so have all the rb20 conversion parts from there however the r33 box has an electronic speedo, different tail shaft, different crossmember id presume, is a different length, and has a different arrangement of clutch (push vs pull, not sure what one).

Ive heard the clutch arrangement of the series 1 boxes is the same as the rb20det boxes however thats not confirmed.

Can anyone post up some info on what id need to modify and change to get this box going in my a31 cefiro(same an r32 skyline)

Cheers

Dude do a search in the cefiro section. Make sure you open the seach up to all dates not just the 30days which it defaults too.

I've done it, its definately worth it. I did a big write up about it. Peace of mind. But if you cant sell the RB20 box just use it till it dies. Save your money.

Dunno about the auto to manual bit though.

Hi there. I put a 25 box in my old r32. Bits you need are or need to do, re drill your cross member, you need a r32 gtr speedo drive,and you need to mod your tailshaft in length and change the yoke to a rb25 one they are heaps bigger! Changing from auto to manual you need a clutch master cylinder and clutch pedal and either change the brake pedal to the manual one or cot that one neatly and put a new rubber pad on it.Plus you will need a clutch line from master cylinder to slave cylinder, not sure bout computer but.

    • 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
