Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to put an rb26 gearbox into an r32 with an rb25. Reason for wanting to do so is, i have a stock rb20det gearbox in there atm and its not going to hold up the power its making. RB26 gearboxes are heeps cheaper than rb25 and I can modify it myself to RWD, i have done one before for a silvia conversion.

Just wondering if anyone knows where or not the gtr32 cross member will bolt straight up, and whether or not anyone knows for sure if rb26 gearboxes are stronger than rb25 ones? Also would a RB25 Nismo slave fit onto a RB26 box? Im assuming that all RB gearboxes have the same 2 bolt pattern

thanks for any help

anyone?? Im gonna buy an RB26 gearbox and just give it a shot. Damm well hope it works. But some info first would be great if anyone knows anything

A full write up/tutorial on the modifications to gearbox would be awesome...please.

Only problem with a 26 box instead of a 25 one is that you know that the 26 will have copped a lot more abuse over its lifetime..

thats BS and means nothing....

if you gonna say that then you could say a GTR box will have been serviced better.

to be honest i think GTST's are driven harder than GTR's....

hmm. So you are trying to tell me that every japanese gtr owner actually serviced their gearbox, ever.. or gave a crap. Let alone factor in the added power and torque on the mechanical workings and the added load on the output of the 4wd system..

hell no.

but you were trying to tell me that no GTST owners thrash their cars!

i see where your coming from but there's way too many variables to be able to say that GTR boxes will be in a worse condition.

chur i put a r32 gtr box in my cefiro but i didnt cut the transfer case off so had to cut a hole in the gearbox tunnel for that the crossmember doesnt fit i got a custom made 1 and yea the slave is the same i used my 20de slave on mine abit of a tight fit but it does would of fit straight in if it wasnt for dat transfer case

you cut up your car befor the gearbox lol, your mad. Im hoping the crossmember will fit because its from a r32. I will post progress pics when i recieve the gearbox, just after the damn freight company stops stuffing around the little fella!!

i reckon everything will bolt up except the crossmember. i've just done my clutch yesterday and contemplated the same change your talking about - but i reckon it's risky. even though 26 box's are cheaper then 25's it's still a fair bit of money to risk buying then finding you need to mod your crossmember.

hi good day guys. im currently doing this said conversion on a nissan c33, i got the shaft done yesterday but my problem is the bracket itself is too low for the car. i really dont want to cut my car to send the box higher is their any other options? the box works perfect and the ratio is heavenly just i can barely drive the car would some coilovers help?

This post suffers from not being at all clear what the problem is.  How would coilovers solve anything to do with how the gearbox sits in relation to the rest of the car?  And more importantly, what bracket are you talking about?  The gearbox crossmember or the centre bearing mount, or what?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
