I currently have an RB20 in my R32 but will soon be changing to either an RB25 0r 30. Do these 3 blocks share the same bellhousing pattern? i have an R33 manual box which I plan to recondition, put behind the RB20 for now & then leave it in when the engine gets swapped. Can I do this? Also how bout clutches? Any difference? Cheers

all the same bolt pattern not sure about the flywheel/clutch, got rb30det with the rb25 box and a few less gifted of a brain down my way thought it would be smart to build a rb30det with a rb20 box because they are so cheap which lasted a week. so they all bolt up dude

Yes they all bolt up. I'm running an RB30DET, had an RB20 box behind it, now an RB25 box. Also had the same clutch behind my RB20 as I now have behind my 30 (and clutch originally came off a 25).

they all fit, but that sed if your going from a RB20 to a RB25, it isnt advisable to put a torquier motor infront of an inferior gearbox (RB20 box). The torque will eventually rip the box apart.

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

The bellH (r33) will fit on a RB25 but the clutches are diffrent if its turbo/ non turbo.

The clutches of a non tirbo are smaller then the turbo.

I have a rb20 bellH (non turbo) with RB25 clutchs and it fit.

You should search. There are a few threads that detail how to go about putting a 25 box in a 32.

Oh and boosting 20psi means nothing. What turbo are you using?

Still cant find any good guides :blush:

Now I have a T28. Planning to go GT35

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
