but all the 25 boxes i have seen have the speedo sender near the middle of the box, if so what model is this box out of been told its a series 1 rb25 box.

also what power can these take and how do you modify the speedo to work as manual cable driven?

tim

I think it may be out of an R34. I'm looking at an R33 RB25DET box right now and yes, they do have the speedo sensor in the middle of the box, along with different crossmember mounting points on the extension housing. Unless they changed these things from year to year on an R33?

The only other RWD boxes that use a similar box are the 300ZX and VL turbo, but they have different shifter setups to this one...they don't have the angled shifter housing.

Either way it's one of the big boys...people regularly run 300rwkw+ through these boxes without trouble...but that's all going to come down to how you drive and the clutch you mate it up to. You'll need an electric-manual adaptor for the speedo drive. These ones use f***in' magnets I think.

I keep looking at it and the more I look the more different it looks.

It can't be Neo as it would have a pull style clutch which that one doesn't. It also has the speedo further back. I'll go take a pic and see if I can post one up of a 25 box.

The problem is that there is nothing to compare it's size to. If you had an RB20 box beside it, you would instantly know

Yeah it must be S1 I think. Definitely RB25 though.

And OP, it doesn't matter which RB25 box it is, they all take the same spline tailshaft yoke same as Z32 300ZX

I wasn't going to reply here as i thought the experts would have nailed this...

There are only a few options, it is definatly an fs5r30a as people suggest.

For those a little slow...

Options are narrowed with sloped shifter housing:

Z31 FS5R30A with RB Bell housing - rear speedo drive.

2wd Navara box with RB Bell Housing (Pretty uncommon, required a bit fair bit of mod too)

VL TURBO MX7 - has less ribbing that is further apart - center speedo

R33 RB25DET - is push, looks about right but speedo drive is in the center

R34 RB25DET - Pull Clutch, speedo drive center - so ruled out

Z32 is ruled out because it would require full case change & is center speedo, which would make it an RB25 box.. lol

My opinion... I would say Z31 FS5R30A with RB (RB25) bell housing.

I seen that on another forum your after a speedo drive.

and if your looking for a stubby mechanical speedo drive i would suggest it would be 32703-31Gxx just from having seen them.

FAST Says Z31 is 32703-58sxx the difference between the 2 maybe (i think) the mounting clip/point ??? OR... maybe electric??

I am in the middle of a write up for my site ATM, so without digging through all the info i have gathered i can't be certain... PM me for more info, and i can find out.. too late CBF ATM...

COLOURS MEAN:

32703-xxx21 21 teeth (PURPLE) Ratio 4.375:1

32703-xxx20 20 teeth (RED) Ratio 4.11:1

32702-xxx19 19 teeth (WHITE ) Ratio 3.90:1

32703-xxx18 18 teeth (BLUE) Ratio 3.70:1

32702-xxx17 17 teeth (BLACK ) Ratio 3.545:1

32702-xxx16 16 teeth (YELLOW) Ratio 3.364:1

The red speedo drive in the pic you had: Your Post I would suggest is from an RB25DE gearbox from an R33 to have electronic speedo drive.

Options are narrowed with sloped shifter housing:

Z31 FS5R30A with RB Bell housing - rear speedo drive.

2wd Navara box with RB Bell Housing (Pretty uncommon, required a bit fair bit of mod too)

VL TURBO MX7 - has less ribbing that is further apart - center speedo

R33 RB25DET - is push, looks about right but speedo drive is in the center

R34 RB25DET - Pull Clutch, speedo drive center - so ruled out

MX7 doesn't use a sloped shifter housing, it has a big flat one.

Didn't account for FS5R30A in a Z31 turbo...that could well be what this is. But that would mean that someone did an...engine out on a Z31 :P

Either way it's a mongrel of a box.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
