Guess it wasnt such a simple question as I cant find the info anywhere. Got someone to crawl under there car and they couldnt see a part number either.

Nissan gearboxes don't have any PN's anywhere on them. When I get the chance to boot up FAST I'll get some PN's for you.

That would explain why I have had enormous trouble trying to find out the number and why the person who crawled under there car for me couldnt see anything.

But from memory, I beleive the rb20 boxes actually have a number on them so I thought the rb25s would as well.

The only reason I wanted this part number is because I am looking for a RB25 box as my 20 box died and if I go to look at one or whatever I want to be able to know it is the correct part.

Only info I have is that the rb25 box is a lot larger than the rb20 one. But the 33/34s also had NA manuals so what boxes where behind them? Obviously weaker than the turbo variant but are they visualy the same as the turbo box from outside or look like the RB20 boxes? Then theres the MX7 from VLT that also can bolt up so I dont want to be confused.

In a nutshell I want a way of being 100% certain as to identifying the 25 box? And also a way of telling R33 from R34.

Not so sure but from memory i did rang up nissan n they told me that the 33 and 34 have the same part number for the box but some internals were different part numbers so go ring them up n double check... good luck mate...

The R33 NA box is physically the same size and strength as the RB20 turbo type (which is essentially the same as the RB30E type). Haven't seen an R34 NA type but would be surprised if it wasn't more-or-less the same as the R33 NA.

The MX7 looks very similar to the R33 turbo 'box, but has a mechanical speedo drive which is pretty easy to spot.

Someone posted side-by-side pictures of the R33 turbo 'box with the RB20 type in another thread, so perhaps do a search.

It's true the RB20 and RB30E gearboxes have some markings on them but they aren't PN's. Even if I gave you the PN's I doubt it's going to help much.

Jayson, you should be able to move RB20DET/R33 NA boxes yourself as they are not that heavy.

The RB25 box however you will have great trouble moving alone as the weight of the box is huge compared to its smaller brothers.

I always need a hand moving my 25 box around because im no beefcake :)

I think R31_POWER or similar posted comparison picks... it was a while ago now and i cant remember what thread :)

The R34 box is pretty much the same inside as the R33 box but is much lighter. I can pick it up easily. It has a more raw aluminium look to the casing.

The manual says that the R34 turbo box is FS5R30A. The R34 non turbo box is FS5W71C.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
