In a bid to archive this info myself or to have it as a sticky, it would be nice to have as much info as possible on gearboxs. Which ones are interchangeable? Ie apparently rb20de = rb20det. Things like which ones pull and push type. Gearbox gear widths, bearing diameters, etc. HP rating through experience (torque rating??).

Add please.

RB20DE

RB20DET

Same as RB25DE box ( i think)

Same as SR boxes too i think

RB25DE

RB25DET

RB26DETT

RB30E

RB30ET

GTST4 box

umm. ok.

FS5W71B L SERIES,CA (PRE TWINCAM)FJ20,

FS5W71C single syncro. RB20e,rb20de,rb30e,REDTOP RB20,LATE FJ20ETrb25de,ca18de,sr20de

FS5W71C twin syncro RB20DET,SR20DET,LATE CA18DET

FS5R30A SINGLE SYNCHRO.vg20det,vg30e vg30et,rb30et

FS5R30A TWIN SYNCHRO, VG30DET,RB25DET,RB26DETT.

fs5r30a pull clutch. 33gtr late 32gtr,rb25 neo

upgrades..

FJ20ET TO RB BOX. elongate top bellhousing bolts :P inward about 6mm each.

fj20 tight ass secondhand box replacement. anny l series box or ca box (aka bluebird box)will fit. you just need to swap the bellhousing. as the angle is oposite.

early fj use a small bearing on the countershaft front. will need to be swapped onto the doner gearset.

rb 20 upgrade. a 25 box will bolt up. the tailshaft yoke is differant and the gearbox x member needs to be moved backward 50mm aprox.

vg upgrade. swap internals from rb25det

rb30 upgrade, as above.

fj20e,lseries,ca18,sr20de rb20e,rb20de use a 225mm push clutch

vg30e,et usus a 240mm push clutch

vg30de uses a 240mm push clutch

sr20det 240mm push clutch

fj20et 240mm push clutch

rb20det all use a 240mm push clutch.

rb25det all uses a 240mm push clutchup to r34 skyline.

rb25det neo uses a 250mm pull clutch

rb26. pre 94 uses a 240mm push clutch

rb26 post 94 usus a 250mm pull clutch

vg30dett uses a 250mm push clutch

not listed is s15 duel mass flywheel clutch. the norm is fitting a s14 clutch and bearing carier.

all 250mm clutches can mix n match,

ie rb25det upgrade is a r33gtr,rb25 neo flywheel with a vg30dett clutch disc atd plate. small mods needed. to rear main seal plate/engine flange plate to clear flywheel.

r34gtr uses the same clutch as the 33 but on a diferant flywheel.

non turbo variants with the small 225mm clutch can swap for the bigger turbo clutch/flywheel asembly of the same engine family.

all 71b,c boxes have the SAME gear sizes. later ones have improved bearings and selectors.

all 30a boxes have the same gear sizes, later ones have bigger bearings and improved synchros,selectors.

thats about all i can come up with atm my head hurts.

Being new to this type of car I have a question for you T04GTR

You being a mechanic and all I'm getting a R33GTR but being a Auto type guy I want to convert it to.

I have been told that a Auto form a Stagea will bolt right up with min probs. Is this the case?

Thanks in Advance

yep. or 33 gts4 all bolt in :laugh:

question

im aware that the RB20det and RB20de boxes in terms of strength are the same.

difference being the ammount of synchros

if i was to bolt both of these up to my fj20et engine

in terms of drivability what would the difference be..

thanx

twin synchro.

i poped 11 single synchro boxes in my dr30. (i just loved ripping seconds and 3rds) basicly the twin synchro will cop more before it crunches :laugh:

thanx for the input mate

but i was actually wanted to kno the difference between the N/A RB20 box and the turbo RB20 box in terms of drivability..

not the comparison between the fj20 box and rb20box

cheers

so a 5 speed manual can be converted into a 6 speed for the rb26 98"?

Yes. but you need new clutch/flywheel, new clutch slave/new clutch line. tail shaft modified to suit. and the gearbox too. there are also a few other fiddly things to do to have it all working

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
