Hi Guys,

Just a qucik question because i'm at work and can't sort through 50 posts to find an answer...Can someone confirm is r32 rb20det boxes are the same as r33 rb25de boxes? I've heard casual talk here and there that they are and need some confirmation...are they physically identical or with slight differences? Gear ratios the same? any input would be greatly appreciated...cheers fellas....

33's have stronger boxes..

From what I remeber.. (and please dont take my word for it.. it was a long time ago and was just flipping through the manual).. but.. I think the 33 1st 2nd 3rd gears are SLIGHTY taller.. only by 2-5 teeth..

i dont think that works mate...you can use a 25box behind the rb20...but the 25 box is slightly longer and you just need to make up a bracket to weld onto the std crossmember so it picks up the original holes. Two of the std one will line up and the bracket will let you reach the other two.

you could use th 32 box but i wouldn't count on it lasting long, they're not the strongest of box. your talking about putting a rb25det in a 32 and using the 32 box, tht could be done. 32's and 33's have different final drive (diff) ratio's so your speedo would be out if you put a 33 box on a 32 diff.

i dont think that the 33 na box is any stronger than the 32 box, most people same they are the same but it may only be refering to the gears themselvers and not the whole box because i think they are slightly different

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
