Boys,

Got the RB25 into the MR30 and things arnt looking to bad, apart from the transmission xmember. I read somewhere that some one made a successful transplant with one out of an R31. Has anybody actually done this. And if not what have others had success with.

manual or auto rb25?

the rb25det gearbox is bigger than the rb20, dont know if the rb25 box is the same as the det version though so you may be in a league of your own with the x member there pm ghostrider as he'll have somekind of answer for this one, sorry dude!

They couldnt get the brake rotors for my car in the end :)

Crimmo, if its ok I'd love to come and have a look at how your suspension and brakes are set up, cos I'm going to have to do something similar very soon as my rotors have been skimmed to undersize so that its still driveable until I change to a rotor thats more readily available

I just live around the corner btw

Cheers

Adam

Adam,

Our DR30 RSX rotors are exactly the same as early model Z31's

Fronts are DBA # 608 and Rear DBA # 605

Whoever told you they can't get them needs a manager (so that he stops handling himself)

When I spoke to an agent of DBA's a few minutes ago, I was told they're ex stock DBA.

Cheers,

Dennis

Gearboxes:

The RB20 DE & DET are identical and same as R31 import box from RB20 DOHC engine.

The RB25 DET box is an entirely different kettle of fish, it's about 2 times the size and has the same ratio's as the GTR and come from the R33 GTS 25t

The crossmember is a FABRICATE it yourself deal, as it mounts a further 100/150mm further back. The fabrication is a good idea as when we do these conversions, we tend to get heavier right feet and on hard launch, the standard mounts JUST DON'T DO! Think about NISMO mounts as well, engine & gearbox.

And Matt,

Going to get you a postage cost tomorrow and will PM you the result.

Cheers guys,

Dennis

ghostrider. ah any code on were i can get a set of nismo mounts both engine and gearbox. Thanks for the info on the cross member, i'll look into.

UAS at Castle Hill has them, but don't fall over when you see the price.

But they better, they URATHANE, so heeps stronger, stiffer etc, etc.

What I did is check the level of the gearbox stock, and chocked up the R33 box to same point and then used a standard xmember as a guide to see how thick it had to be etc, etc.

Are you using an R33 box or R32/31, RB20?

Got a little erand for those guys with MR30/HR30 doing conversions.

Anywhere in your travels, there is a plastic snout as the cold air intake on the stock R30 air box inlet, there is a similar thing on the R31, but don't know if same.

I need an R30 one for my MR30 L24ET Ti Hatch,

ANYBODY HELP???????

Well the Z31 brakes are the same as R31 Import and R31 GTS1/2, so I figure the struts might be the same?

Not quite! Similar in size, but R31 are "HAT" type rotors, as they go over the hub, where as DR30 & Z31's bolt onto the back of the hub.

But in any case, I would be better off changing to R33 non turbo discs and R32 callipers like Crimmo's car?

R32 GTR is the best way to go, it's the upgrade that Jenesis - Japan sells and uses. 296 x 32 Rotors or Z32 which are 280 x 30 with Nissan alloy 4 spot calliper.

The Z32 set up is easy to get and a good balance with our 290 x 10 rears.

Secondhand Z32 fronts should cost you about $550.00 discs & callipers.

Has any one replaced the bushings in the rear cross member? I would like to do so but not sure where I could source new ones from or would it be a custom made type thing?

I replaced my rear xmember & diff support bushes with urathane.

Noltec made them Custom $450.00

But take some advice, if you want your car to handle, don't use urathane in the pivot point bushes unless you can affords to replace them every month

i have a l24e and l20et as they are different and the r31 is very similar to the l24e one in length, the l20et is a lot shorter than the l24e!!

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
