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....

+1 for 25T box.

$100 is a fkn bargain.

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 :wave:

Yeah thats the problem with buying boxes....you never really know.......Im still not sure what the engine & box are like as I havent driven it yet...fingers crossed. Thx for the comments dude

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 :D

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 :banana: 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!

    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
