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

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?

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.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
