Hi Jason,

If Mr Mac isn't biting then I would seriously consider buying that gearbox, if you know that it is in good going order. I am assuming it's out of the late V8 C210. The 2nd hand box that recently went into my car is completely stuffed. I'm in Vic, but would be happy to sort out some postage.

Cheers,

Drew

Under $200 might be a bit stiff!

I have been quoted $350 for an aussie R30 box in reasonable condition, 2nd hand from a wrecker.

I have also biught an L20ET box for $120.00 but reverse was a bit iffy, so I had it rebuilt.

I also have a US Spec BW T5 and am getting Stewart Wilkins to mod an L series front housing to accomodate an RB20DET box.

I have no trouble finding 2nd hand sub $200 dollar 240K/C210 gearboxes at the wreckers, ebay, or on Oz Dat... but I have found the problem to be the condition of the box usually lies somewhere between questionable and completely unknown. Rather than hoping for the best, I think I should just wait until I have a lazy $500 - $800 and completely rebuild the one I've got. If I put another 2nd hand box in my car only to find it was stuffed I'd definitely throw a wobbly!

However... if anyone on the forum does have a 2nd hand box, and can vouch for its condition, please let me know.

sr20/ca18 box on datsun bellhousing is fairly easy. abit longer than a datsun long box tho, so gearbox x memeber will need mods.

Ive looked at rb30e, and they looking like a easy mod for a datsun L series bellhousing.

So this would mean the rb20det box (same as rb30e bar double synchro's on 2nd and 3rd) would be a goer too?

Cheers,

Dan

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
