Haven't tried it but they're very similar and I wouldn't be surprised if it all fitted fine. Why not just buy a stuffed SR20 box, throw the gear set in and then chuck the rb20 bellhousing onto the sr20 box as they're interchangable.

I just put a SR20 bellhousing onto a CA18 gearbox I had to use in my brother's SR20 180sx.

I think the SR box is about 20 mm shorter than the RB20 box. Might want to do a bit more research?

If people can run a RB20 bellhousing onto an SR box I cant see there being a problem. I havent used an RB20 bellhousing on an SR20 box before, just heard of other people doing it. I've been told the CA18, SR20 and RB20 boxes are very similar and bellhousings interchangable.

do it brisby. :rolleyes:

in fact justin is out of town for 3 weeks. pop over to my place and we can go down to the basement and whip his box out and swap it with yours. lol, he hardly ever gets to sixth anyway so as long as we leave his gear knob on there he probably wont notice for a while...

So does that mean an S15 box will go behind an RB20?

Couldn't tell you for sure, but if people can put a 5 speed behind there S15 SR20 then I can't see why not? Might need to change the tail shaft? The standard S15 6 speed isn't exactly a very strong box though.

Yeh, but i am a tight ass so am pretty kind to mechanicals when i drive my car, so would hope i could get one to hang together. Still trying tpo do some numbers on the OS Giken gear set and also on PPG box, though ongoing maintenance is my main concern with a helical dog box from PPG. LOL i am easy on mechanical parts but hard on panels :)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
