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.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT?

I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
