Now everyone i know thats put a 25 box in there 32 has had to weld the 25 tailshaft yoke onto the 20 tailshaft right?!?

Well i received my 25 yoke in the post and it just came with one half of the uni joint and i thought great now i have to find the other half of the uni joint and tailshaft. but now that i've pulled out my 20 tailshaft the uni joints look identical and measure up to be identical.

So what i'm wondering is seeing as though my car was a factory manual and i don't need to modify the length of my tailshaft could i get away without welding the yoke to the tailshaft and just connect the rb20 uni joint to the rb25 uni joint, so that i basically end up with the 25 tailshaft yoke and one half of the uni joint connected to the 20 tailshaft and other half of the 20 uni joint?

Cheers!

Makes no difference whether you swap the uni or weld after the uni.. I think the deal is that those uni's are not rebuildable (or so the guy at VEEM told me) as such they require some abuse to get out and you would need to source a brand new uni.. aslong as the uni isn't rooted it's usually easier to get it cut/welded and rebalanced.

I'm about to swap my RB20de witha RB25det. I'm still going to use my Rb20 gearbox. Will I still have to "change" my drift shaft or can I use my old drive shaft since it the same gearbox??se s

Same tailshaft can be used BigC ^^^

À friend of mine just told me that the gearbox wont hold the HP of the engine (planning on boosting 20psi). So I will use the RB25 gearbox. What should I do??

Thanks for the help

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
