i know it can be done but does anyone have any links or tips on doing it? it is going into a bmw with a built rb20 in it. i cant justify the 1500 for a 25 box when i can get a gtr box for 600 and modify it myself.

any help appreciated

did you find anything on how it's done?

My logic says if you're looking for tips or links on how to modify a GTR box to suit RWD...then you won't have the skillset required to do it :)

skillset required? hahah good one mate. i am a qualified fitter and turner and built a few cars now... the point of asking for links is so i can find out what parts i may need beside the gtr box. i Havent bought a box and wont till i find out if it will be cost effective to purchase one over a 25 box.

Whats it going into, i know it wont fit an e30 without cutting the tunnel out to fit the transfer case and pumping the front of the tunnel with a hydraulic ram to fit the body of the gearbox.

Got a mate with a rb30det and jatco automatic in an e30. We had to pump the tunnel a fair bit.

I have seen a rb20det and 20det box fit an e30 with no mods to the tunnel.

Also, the crank pulley will be touching the radiator and the firewall. You will need to turn the front belt pulley off on a lathe

motor has been in the car and driving for a year now with the 20 box. the gtr box will fit the tunnel as long as the transfer has been removed from it which is what i am trying to find info on

I have a 33 GTR box in a 32 GTST.

You will need to retain the modified transfer case to make it work, it might be possible but a mission to get around.

If you cant get the GTR box in with the transfer case attatched, it would be easier/cheaper to go a 25 box.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
