hey guys, im over busting rb20 gearbox's and have a rb26 box ive found forsale off a mate for a good price. im wondering if it will bolt up to my rb20.

i realise ill probs have to change the tail shaft and do something with the the x-member. but will the box acctualy fit in the transmition tunel and bolt on to the engine?

im thinking of taking the 4wd stuff out and getting a sleeve made up to put in its place, i havn't acctualy seen the box so im not sure how it all works, but i sould be able to figuse something out

has anyone done it? i did a quick search but didnt come up with anything good.

any help would be great :)

cheers

Have heard of a few GTR boxes being modified for RWD lately.

The transfer section gets chopped off & a plate welded in its place...

Think you need to look into the cost of the GTR box + modifications & compare it to an RB25 box which is the exact same thing but already in a RWD format. Maybe if your mate is doing you a ridiculous price it will be worth it.

If not just go a 25 box

I run a GTR box behind a 30det in a 32 GTST without any floor or tunnel mods.

The std trans crossmember can be used, its the trans mount that needs mods.

You will also need a gtr tailshaft and have that mod'd to fit.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
