Flexplate

[vifer]

can anyone advise whether an auto flexplate (flywheel) off a RB25 or 26 is compatible on a RB20 motor?

[vifer]

anyone?

how easy\hard is it to remove a ring gear from one flexplate or flywheel and weld to another?

it SHOULD be the same as the 25 and 20 run the same auto, you might be struggling to find one off a 26 tho!, i would try to get a new ring gear and get that welded on, a job best left to an experienced trans specialist

thanks for the reply. Im a competent welder so i think I could take this one on. Where does one buy ring gears, who makes em? Google search shows nothing in Oz.

they are not a common sort after item. . ive not really looked at the rb flexplate that closely but you MAY be able to reverse the ring gear on the flexplate

[vifer]

unfortunately, reversing the ring gear around is not an option due to to the extent of teeth damage.

must be pretty bad, maybe score a good secondhand one and reverse the ring gear on that if possible, i see what you mean trying to get one here in aus, plenty in the US, would it be worth you trying NISSAN for a price on a new ring gear?

can I borrow one of your kidneys. Steve ? I only have two to sell.

nah. . im kind of attached to them but thankyou for asking! still give nissan spare parts a shot; you might be suprised; not everything they have is super expensive~ for example i picked drivers side door hinges for my r32 for less than what you see them secondhand on ebay

couple of sauers have msg'ed me that they have a used flexplate of their Rb25's so thinking going the transplant route provided teeth are reasonably sound.

But I'll call into Nissan spares tomorrow with a portable defibrillator ( jic) and ask the question.
