My stock gearbox on the 32 is due for a rebuild shortly as there seems to be alot of crunching going on in there (and yes I do know how to use a clutch). I've been told it's my syncros.

But lately I've been thinking about doing a rb25 gearbox conversion instead, how hard is it? Has anyone done it before? Is it even worth it?

I know i'm gonna need a different tailshaft. Does it have to be a custom shortened 32 one?

What's involved with the speed sensor, coz i've heard it's a different setup.

Does it bolt straight onto the rb20?

I think i'm way over my head here. Too many questions, that cant be a good sign. :)

Hey man!

Yes 25 box in to 32 is fine.... I mean GREAT :D

In my cefiro i had my rb20 gearbox changed to a rb25 gearbox due to me blowing the 20 :P !

Not sure how much it cost i need to find my recipt.

and yeah the tail shaft needs to be shortened (heard a ford one can fit... not sure though if it was bu!!sh!t :D )

But over all... it IS worth it, 25boxs are made strong!

My gearbox IS rebuilt and it does that, Ive been thinking RB25 box aswell. Will keep an eye on your progress if you do it :D

Put one into my gtst years ago, was well worth it (very hard to break). I picked up the box and short shifter for $950 and the install and other parts cost around $750, need to get the yolk modified ($150) and also need different speed cable (I think they used R32 GTR). Box bolts straight up to bell housing etc.

Cool, so it's a bit easier than I thought.

i can show u how to mod the rb25 speedo sender with a navara end for a matter of $45! i did it on mine!!

So what the navara end connects into the rb20 cluster? I'll definately be hitting u up for this adrian.

Now, does anone have a good rb25 box lying around? :(

navara end fits to the end of the rb25 speedo sender.. pretty easy mod..

yea it was easy because i did it lol

i also made the cross member.

it's easy mate, just extend the existing with and get the bolt hole positions in the right spot. Adrian's is strong as feck. hehe

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
