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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
