Either the gear shifter is lower in height or the throw (so the distance between each gear) is shorter, or both of these things. It depends on the brand.

Personally i'm not a big fan of them and find the throw to be short enough the way it is.

Try not to be to quick with your shifting with a 25 box as they are a strong box but the syncros dont like it when you bash it from 2nd to 3rd, found that out myself, now my shift between 2nd and 3rd needs a slight pause or it grinds like 10 grinding things.

man up and get a c's kit phil.... you wont regret it

I'll be honest, I havn't felt a genuine C's one before. But I have felt a couple of no name ones and I think one that was a Nismo one and didn't really find it any better.

from memory, the Nismo one is not as short as the C's, IIRC Nismo = 15% short, and C's = 30% - wouldn't quote me on that though :ninja:

anyone tried one with a getrag 6? - i miss the RB25 box in comparison to the getrag :(

Nismo have two types, 10% and 25%. The 10% feels like a tighter stock shifter.

i have had a nismo 10% and it was pointless...

i have been running genuine c's kits in both my cars for a couple of years now and they are WELL worth the $

Made my own short shifter with the standard one. Got rid of the rubber and cut it to the length I wanted and welded it up etc etc. Pretty happy with it, probably nowhere near as good as the big name brands (don't know havent ever felt one) but its alot better then standard, being solid and shorter.

So I'm happy considering it cost nothing :) C's short shifters I've heard are really good but. If I was gonna spend my money on a short shifter thats what I'd get

got a cees short shift in my track car.... i now also have f**ked syncros in 3rd and 4th..

if i had my time again with the same box i probably would not have used one.

felt great.. amazing even.. for the first 6 months. after that it got worse and worse to point where it now is un usable. im about the pull the box apart.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
