Hi, I have had some sveatty days working out with the rb25 gearbox. First time the two plates were not aligned so I couldn't even get the gearbox in and had to take it out again. This time the box went all the way in but now I can't get any gears in when the engine is on. I tried bleeding the fluids and adjusted the pedal as much as it goes. Then I lifted the rear up and started with a gear on, then the wheels spinned even with the pedal down. When I pushed the break and cluthc the rews went down a bit but the engine didn't stop. Could it be that I put one plate the wrong way? That could show some slipping, like what I have? Now the plates are not the same way. The plate closer the engine has the "outcoming" part in the middle facing the engine, and the plate closer the gearbox is the other way. Does anybody remember how they should be. Or is there maybe something else you could easily mess up in the installation since this was my first time :) . All I have is japanese instructions wich didn't help so much. Thanks.

Did you use the right bearing carrier? Have to decipher the instructions to figure out which one is right for you.

Sorry my english for the parts names isn't so good, but bearing carrier? I think it's the new part we changed with the bearing that I ordered with the clutch set from rhd japan. It is the part you attach to the bearing between the clutch and gearbox? It has the same effect you're right. I can send the japanese instructions if someone understands them. Yeah, by the way it is a dampered clutch if it has any difference. What is the right bearing carrier, have to check it out when I remove the gearbox... again.

By the sounds of it, I would have to agree with BNR#@.

It sounds like your bearing carrier is too short for your application, so that even at full throw the clutch isn't being disengaged.

Even though the manual is in japanese it isn't really hard to work out which one you need for your car.. numbers and pics make it easier to follow.

By the way, Thanks to Serg for helping out gavin at cypher with my clutch. Thanks heaps mate. I think they were under the impression that I didn't have the manual. Hopefully it is the nastiest clutch install that they have to deal with for a long time as it needed a pile of other bits replaced and a real bastard to fit it all back in.

Clutch bites like a bitch, but seems to be getting a bit nicer after a couple of days use. Zacka tuned it on thursday night and it made 350.6 rwhp @ ~17psi. All via hand controller too. Very happy.. for now.

post-43975-1219666533_thumb.jpgOkay, according to the picture the distance between the lines in the bearing carrier should be 14-16mm, agreed? I'll take the box out tomorrow and measure it. I just thought that the pieces would be right because they came in the same package, well you learn from your mistakes.... :D

Haha, I was actualy there helping them lift the gearbox when they were trying to get it in with your front pipes still attached, not fun, bloody heavy bugger to... No matter how the box was angled it wasnt going in... The clutch does bite but you realy get use to it fairly fast, yours rattle to?

Rattle? hmm.. put it this way, my wife reckons that my car came back broken. :D

Bit of a zing when starting, and bit of a clunk when coming in to a stop with the clutch in like a uni-joint type of noise. Pedal effort is almost half of what the original one was, a heavy duty single I am led to believe.

Gavin found out how much fun it was to try and refit the front pipe to those dump pipes as well, it took me about 3 hours to do it myself on the shed floor the first time..

Haha, get use to explaining to everyone that it rattles because its so hardcore :)

Mine has a nismo slave cylinder so is light as a feather, would have actualy prefered it a bit heavy er but use to it now...

Was there when he was taking your fronts off, was gone by the time he was puting them back on, figured wasnt gona hang arround for the second round of lifting that box :(

My friend had a similar problem, he found out that the tube which carries the bearing carrier pressed the clutch plate all the time. And that didn't allow it to release, he had to cut about 1cm of the tube away to get it to work. Have to check today if there is any signs of contact. The bearing carrier had the lenght that was adviced in the instructions, but still there is about 1,5cm loose in the fork movement before it started to push the clutch (before it got stiff). Is that okay?

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
