Hi All,

I am currently completeing this conversion and am looking for assistance from a driveshaft workshop with putting the rb25 gearbox into my r32.

Just wondering what shops you have used in Melbourne who have completed this conversion - I dont want "Im getting this done in 2020 when this is finished..." I want actual shops that have actually completed this conversion and have been successful.

Anywhere in VIC is ok and if you can provide some details of which method they chose i.e. driveshaft and mounting point wise...

Thanks all

I recently put an RB25 engine & R33 gearbox in my R32 GTST & all that had to be done was for the R33 yoke to be put on the R32 shaft. Same length, mounting points, etc...

if u need the drive shaft modified i got mine done at a place in keysbourgh think it was $110

Mine was done in Keysborough area too by G&J Drivelines.

Quite cheap. Also make one-piece shafts

With the tailshaft wouldnt you just bash off the MF5 yoke and put the R33 gearbox yoke on it? thats all my mate did in his 31 and they virtually have teh same gearbox as the 32

R32 & R33 tailshaft yokes are not easily removeable like 31's, etc

Wouyld be nice if they were as I could have done job myself & just got it balanced

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
