That gear box mount looks familiar!

I got the guys at Vibra Technics to make that mount - good to see it hasn't just been a one off for me!

I've been considering swapping my rear cradle to an R33 one for a wile now.

What offset bushes did you use?

How much wider did the track end up?

If I do it, I'll still be using the stock arms as mine is a daily, so trying to work out how much I'll have to flare my gaurds.

The car is on blocks still :) So who knows...

I am mainly doing it for strength as the 32 cradle had cracks and long term with the new engine thicker shafts isnt a bad thing. Meant new shocks and diff which sux but everything is new do will be mega.

Running GKtech offset diff bushes

I dont think the rear is any wider. I think the wider track is from the offset and width of wheels...but would have to check again

The mount is neat. I run their gear in my Cossie and gets the job done

Yeh, slowly getting it together. I am slowly slapping it all back together including some new little projects that I am keen to try. Also selling off all th ebits off my built RB25 while its healthy to help fund the new engine I am piecing together. The recent Euro trip to Monaco and tom-foolery hurt the budget so still slugging away with a small spend per month. Hope to have it back on the road tuned with the new Kinda surprise motor by Xmas and summer. Lol wanted to put A/C back in the car so used that as silly justification for a new engine :)

Baby steps doing dome work a few nights this week. 

Got thre front end all back together with Nismo inner upper mount. Alloy hubs, modded Ikeya LCA, Noltec upper arm and all new king pin bearings and wheel bearings. New RCA tie rod ends. In the rear got the new diff gusseted cradle all dummy fitted with Nismo inner pick up braces all dummy fitted.  So over weekend will grease up all the bushes and get that all bolted home too

Hey Roy nice write up mate. I'm considering the Tomei Poncam 256/8.5mm for my unopened RB20 soon. Would you say that they give enough benefit to be a worth purchase? Currently have 290whp with a Garrett GTX2860r and all quality supporting mods. Stock intake and exhaust manifolds. Am considering going with a Garrett GTX3071r if the cams prove to bring on power earlier with the current turbo as this is a street car and doesn't see the track. Cheers.

Std cams work just fine i.o. Some ppl make cams work for them others dont.  For sure the $1000 in parts and tuning dont equate to a step change in performance imo. If its a street car just make sure you have cam gears. On std cams they made a bigger change then aftermarket cams.

 

I reckon if i still had the RB20 with punchy power i would slap a 4.6 diff it....110 highway cruising would be a little more painful but imo gear the things like a rotary :) crown wheel and pinion cheaper than cams

Yeh. Now got twin -5s in what looks like an RB20DETT :) Even  gone back to std inlet.

Lol...have another motor but just want to play with the built 25DE a bit longer. Also easier for a buyer to hand over cash for an engine they can drive/listen/hear. Then just slap everything onto new motor which is VCT RB26

Flap peak for life!!!

If 25de'd were cheap like they were 10 years ago I would almost go down a similar route.

I've seen one other R33 RB25 TT.
An R31 passage, customer car at R31 house.

Think it had an FCon ECU.
Was pretty impressive

Tired of 6poop T67 setup so sold it and slapping this together.
Its crap...but at least im not part of the single turbo flat cap brigade 
Don't have any other TD06SH or T67s lying around still?

Need to do something about my L2 being too small for an rb25 :(

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
