Hi guys,

I have an R32 GTST.

Seem to be having issues with my alternator and it not charging. Replaced the battery already, took the alternator out and changed the brushes thinking it might be them, but to no avail.

Was wondering anyone know where the voltage regulator sits on an RB20? Or better yet any suggestions on this matter. Just wanna look at all options before taking it to an Auto Electrician.

Cheers,

Tone

Regulator is built into the alternator. But probably just as cheap to replace outright than try and diagnose and fix.

As stated above its built in and they are worth more than getting another 2nd/new item.

Tone did you have the alternator bench tested whilst it was out to make sure it was charging ok???

This is Tony, my details through my home account aren't working at the moment.

To answer your question, no I didn't have the alternator bench tested, however i've just purchased another 2nd hand alternator for $60. Will put it in on the weekend and see how that goes.

Thanks for all your help guys.

      Hmm. OP question ever so slightly confusing. I shall interpret it as a manual conversion of an auto. Yes, you can use either of those gearboxes, or any of the other RB manuals. It would be a waste (of money and resource) put to put a turbo box behind an NA RB20 though. Which is what Duncan is saying, essentially. Modifying any RB20DE Skyline is a waste of time. Just use the shell to put a V8 in.

      Finished putting the rest of the dump on today. Itchy and a prick of a job with 5 vbands to line up with the plumb back setup but I got there in the end.  Couple of other little bits and pieces put on while I was at it. Need to sort all the wiring that has to come to the hot side of the bay so I can finish mounting up the boost control and emap lines.  Fingers crossed ECU rocks up early this week and I get some time to work on it.

      Sure, but the result will put so little power to the ground it won't be able to move. Whatever your reason, it will be cheaper and more practical to sell the manual and buy an automatic

      Hi! Is it possible to use and swap the RB25DET/RB25Neo manual gerbox on to my RB20DE Neo engine with an automatic transmission?

      my current daily - BiTurbo Diesel SQ5 8R with a remap and some light cosmetic mods. Which is sitting in front of my old daily that hasn’t been driven in 7 years now, home to numerous redbacks no doubt. MK4 Golf GTI with a boser hood extension, air ride airbag suspension, factory RHD Xenon’s from the Japanese R32 and stubby electric mirrors (also from Japan) sitting on custom made 18x10” Work Meisters for the golf’s bolt pattern and offset. one day I’ll revive it as a project, pull the engine out, put some forged bits in, chuck a big turbo on it and tune it to somewhere around 250kw and call it a barn find to make millions off YouTube views. Till then, it is a good breeding home for redbacks and the boot is good for storing my Christmas tree for 11 months of the year.
