25's are double synchro just like the 26, both boxes use the same synchro's, bearings, rings, etc

internally the only visual difference i saw was the input/main shaft looks a little different, 26 is thicker in some places, i've been told that the gears are the same as well...

there may be other little differences but basically the same,

25 boxes are very rare these days, drifter love em, so you could probably buy a 26 box and change to internals over to the busted 25 box, was considering this recently but decided against it, by part numbers most parts are the same but making parts fit is a different story...

has any1 tried this? ive heard a few but no one willing to share secrets

There are plenty of boxes around.

Its just people arent prepared to pay the asking price for em :wave:

But GTR boxes go for almost the same as RB25 boxes anyhow. Usually only $100-$150 in it

about a month or 2 ago when i was searching....

Sydney wreckers were asking $2000, Brisbane $1500... no stock in both states!!!

found a R33 GTR box in Brisbane was $1000... with warranty!!!

also found a lot of ppl trying to pass rb20det boxes and rb25de boxes off as r33 turbo boxes so be careful

yeah exactly the same box..I've run full slicks on mine and launched it pretty hard and ive never had a problem.Admittedly ther would be a bit less stress on it because its in a fairly light 240z but i cant see it breaking..Same part code as rb25/26 boxes

They had a few at the time but that was over 6 months ago..not sure what year,they are all the same as long as its from a z32.Also i got one out of a na because they are both the same and i figured the the turbo ones would have copped more of a hard time than the na.

think i remember seeing brand new 25 boxes for 3500.. id much rather buy new than pay 2grand for a 2nd hand one that is 'supposedly' good condition!

also i have a 25 box with GTR internals but i didnt do the swap myself so i dont know if there are any complications regarding swapping. Seeing as the OS cross mission set drops straight into either box, id say it would be straightforward?

    • 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?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
