No doubt SAU has a few threads about this but can't find them and google just finds me 25 box into auto 32 etc etc

Usual thing happened, blew the rb20det gearbox drifting and want the rb25 box for the usual reasons.

This is what I know......

1. 25 yoke welded on the 32 tail shaft

2. Closs member fix (not 100% sure what needs doing)

3. Navara speed sensor (again, not 100% sure what needs doing)

Any info would be good and pics of what needs doing would be even better. Car has a 2530 so not sure if that'd make a difference.

Please no stupid comments or remarks

Thanks in advance.........Fliggy

Yuh, but that wasn't his question.

I had to swap crossmember when I did RB20 manual into auto R32. Then when I did RB25DET manual into the same car, I had to change crossmember again. I don't know for sure, but I strongly suspect I ended up with my original auto crossmember back in the car!

Fliggy, if you want someone to build a Navara sender up for you, contact Fours N More at Pooraka. They have done heaps of them. I suspect that they probably need at least some of either your R32 one or the R33 one. Apparenly it's not particularly hard, but I didn't pay any attention when it was being done to mine as I was either busy on some other part of the car or away overseas (I can't remember now, too long ago).

Otherwise, your list is about all the tricks involved. Take measurements of the lengths from the back of the new gearbox to the centrebearing studs on the car, and take your R32 tailshaft and the front half of the R33 one to Spicers and they'll cut and shut it for you. They do so many of them that if you walk in with the pieces they will recognise them and you won't even have to tell that what you want done.

Make sure you have the correct slave cylinder too, as they are different between R32 and R33.

Sorry to bring up an old thread but don't want to start a new one as I feel this has been answered but I cant find it.

I have an r32 manual with rb20det and box.
I also have just obtained a r34 RB25DET Neo with manual box flywheel everything as it came from the R34.

I want to put the 25 in the R32.... obviously

Is there anything I need to be aware of with the gearbox?
I just want to get all the parts I need before hand to make it as easy as possible.

Thanks

I had Neo and Neo box in my car. No different that fitting a standard RB25 box Into a 32.

RB20 box is 800mm long

RB25 box is 780mm long

RB25 box also had a different yoke to RB20. It's the same as 300ZX/VL turbo box. You need to acquire a yoke and then get it fitted to your RB20 tailshaft. You don't need to extend or shorten the shaft, keep it the same length.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
