What Gearbox Is This ?

[woza01]

Hey All,

I just picked up this Gearbox - its a bit of an unknown in terms of condition....they guy I got it from, bought it for $100 from some guy who was clearing out his shed, but said it was ok. Anyway, Im just wondering what box it is...Can anybody tell me how to properly identify it ?...or does anyone recognise what box it is ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers All

Looks like an RB25 type (R33 GTSt). $100 is a bargain, although depends on internal condition, of course.

Yeah thought it looked like my RB25DET gearbox, however to be more sepecific, I was wondering if there is a difference between RB25DE gearboxes and RB25DET gearboxes....

The RB25DE gearbox is identical to the RB20DET type (ie it's the 'small' style GB).

OK....so that essentially means that this is a box from a turbo R33....cheers Steve

Hey Bubba.....he paid $100 for it....I got it for free LOL. No idea what condition its in though......the shafts turn with no horrible feel or sounds but Im gonna pay my gearbox dude $100 to separate the halves and make sure nothing is broken. Either way, it will be a good spare for my 260Z project (Rb25DET engine & box), or at the very least, I can rape it for spares !

Im stoked.....

Even better!

My 25T box cost me $1500 from a wreckers and there was no guarantee with that.. good thing it works fine! only drama is 2nd gear is a little notchy when cold but she'll be right!

P.S. nice engine bay! I miss my 32 already

No probs and good luck

I had some butterflies when I backed out of the workshop for the first time after putting the 25T box in.. then painted some big lines and it was all good so I was happy

Mate of mine got a box for his GTS4, we got it to the shop to find it was full of water and the input shaft wouldn't budge cleaned it out, threw it in and it's still going strong behind a 530awhp 3L

Luck of the draw I guess it all boils down to!
