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!

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

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
