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.....

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!

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!

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
