Blown Rb20 Box, Help Needed!

[Lil_Lucky]

Ok folks....

Box has shat itself, as in the car is pretty undrivable!

Now im not too sure as where to go from here ie rebuild, 2nd hand rb20 box or get a gtr or rb25 box?!?!?!?

The car is my daily and making around 180rwkw, and i plan not to make much or any more than that (just a bit more tuning to be done).

However i do plan on doing a few track days this year, and selling the car come early next year.

Need some help!!

Cheers

20 boxes are ok for normal driving. Good on wallet.

25 boxes will take a lot of punishment but you'll need to convert the speed sensor to cable. Expect $1grand+.

GT-R boxes are also good but you'll need to convert to 2WD. $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Take your pick.

well i spoke to a place down here in melbourne today and i got quoted 1200 to rebuild my box, and thats everything, bearings, seals syncros etc. so doesnt sound too bad.

I realise that both gtr and 25 conversions will be almost 2k!!!

But i guess if i look after a 20box it would be ok

Can I ask you where in Melb did you get quoted $1200 for the box rebuild, I'd like to give them a ring about fixing up my box. I got quoted $2295 last week to rebuild my RB25DE box

you have to be careful when getting a rebuild done alot of places just change a few bearings and says its been completely rebuilt.

im doing my rb20 box myself, just the bearings and seals. will cost me about $150 in parts but hours and hours of f**king around and a couple hundred more in tools! but still cheaper than getting it done at a shop

i would say if it costs more than $800 to rebuild an rb20 box (which it usually does) just go an rb25 box.

To put a 25 box in is upwards of a 2.5k exercise and that doesn't include a decent clutch or labour.
