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.

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.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
