I wonder if it differs slightly between these two 5speed manual gearboxes or are they identical?

My gearbox has well seen better days and I found one for a R34 GTT.

So I thought if it fits bolton on my R33 gts25t with my R33 clutch, etc.?

For all intensive purposes the R33 GTS25-t and R34 25GT-t boxes are extremely similar, your only concern is the difference in clutch release mechanisms. Because of this difference you have two options:

  • Use the R34 pull set-up, and install either an R33 GTR or R34 GT25-t clutch (you current flywheel will except either)
  • Convert the R34 box to use a push type clutch, this can be done by either of the following:
    • Transfer your R33 set-up to the R34 box
    • Exchange the R34 bellhousing/front plate for your R33 items

While exchanging boxes it wouldn't be a bad idea to install a new clutch, even if for no other reason than peace of mind. Therefore assuming that the R34 box is coming with the release mechanism (including bearing and carrier), I would lean towards installing the R34 box as is.

If you have any questions drop me a PM and I'll happily answer any questions you may have.

  • 4 months later...
didnt want to start a new thread, can someone just confirm that an r34 rb25det clutch will bolt onto an r33 rb25det gearbox?

thanks

No, R33 uses a push-type clutch, R34 uses a pull-type

you can use a pre-1993 R32 GT-R clutch as it's push-type as well.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
