Rb26 Gearbox Swap

[BOB BROWN]

i have an r33 skyline and the gear box shaged itself a bit ago, i was wondering if a r32 gtr box would fit without to much extra work.

cheers for the help

this has been covered a lot.

If u mean extra work as in cutting off and welding up the 4wd transfer case, then yes a bit of work is required. Plus the fact u are replacing it with an older box.....

RB 26 gearboxes are the same as RB 25 gearboxes except for the transfer case so not shure why you would bother as the GTR box is more expensive and takes more work...

^^ What I was gonna say.

A 33 box is sorta dear, but a GTR box is more. Get a 32 box if your tight

32 box wont last long, unless ur meaning a 32gtr box.

GTR box's are now cheaper then the 25gtst box, so if you can do the welding upself, itsa good cheap way to go.

I immagine that a 32 box isnt going to deal to well with the tourque of a rb25, its the tourque that kills gearboxes afterall, not power

I don't know about that. I'm running a RB25DET in a 32 GTS4, through the original gearbox, and the 'box is holding up fine.

i read those threads URAS, pretty interesting.

i still have one question though, which gear box is best bang for buck, and strong enough to handle say 350rwkw.

from reading that i gathered, gts-t boxes are more expensive then gtr boxes, and that gtr boxes are hard to get to fit gts-t's. would it be worth making a rb26 box fit a rb20? or would it just be better just to throw a rb25 box in.

ps. will the rb25 box be just as strong as a 26box?

sorry for the noob questions, just curious to know.

thanks, issa.

25 & 26 box are the same dude, already stated in the thread a few times.

Cost vs effort, RB25 wins IMO as its less effort for the cost
