hey all.. recently put my built rb25/30 and rb25t gearbox into my cefiro..

im stuck at the gearbox mounts,

im wondering if anyone on hear is running an rb25 box in their cefiro and what they have used in the way of engine mounts??

i heard that a s13 ca18 gearbox crossmember can be used and makes it fit perfectly??

but cant confirm..

and no one in sa would happen to have a turbo cefiro rear section of tail shaft for sale???

haha

cheeers tom

Dunno about the Ceffie man, but it's what I did for the R32.

When you drop an RB20 manual box into an auto body, the crossmember holes are too far forward to use the rb25 manual crossmember.

The rb25 manual box will line up with the crossmember holes because the manual box is longer than the RB20 box and the same length as the RB20 auto box.

When fitting an RB20 manual box you need to use an S13 AUTO crossmember because they are a mirror image of the manual crossmember and will allow the holes to line up.

So in your case with the Ceffie, I cannot be sure as to which one you'll need. But if you run into the problem with one not lining up, the other should work.

Sorry man, I can't give you a definate answer, just another option in case you get stuck.

I thought it was when you dropped a 25 box into an AUTO 32, the Xmember bolts lined up perfectly but when dropping a 25 box into a MANUAL 32, you had to modify the Xmember as the holes in the chassis sit about 50mm too far forward.

I used some 25x5 flatbar welded to the 25 gearbox Xmember to suit the holes in the chassis.

Yo bro, that's what I said in the first sentence which refers to the use of an auto body. "When you drop an RB20 manual box into an auto body, the crossmember holes are too far forward to use the rb25 manual crossmember."

The second sentence, still with the auto body in mind - "The rb25 manual box will line up with the crossmember holes because the manual box is longer than the RB20 box and the same length as the RB20 auto box.

Just some wires crossed in communication.

Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
