Wanted: Someone To Modify My R32 Gtr Gearbox Transfer Case To Run As Rwd Only


Recommended Posts

Hi,

As topic states;

Can anyone do this in the Sydney area? If so, please point me in the right direction.

or a step by step tutorial?

The box is going back into a 4wd chassis.

I was going to gut the transfer case and get it welded shut, but apparently it's not as easy as this, so any help appreciated.

thanks

Do as Brett said. Even better, run a switch (and a relay, maybe? Never needed to do it, so not quite sure) and have the option of RWD or AWD.

Switch isn't possible at this stage. I dont have a front sump/diff to run front shafts!

Ive got a gts4 without the motor. It Came with a gearbox which is gtr.

I bought a rwd rb25det to drop in and now need the box to be converted to rwd only.

Thanks for the replies thus far, i hope you can understand my predicament

r32-25t

RWD gearbox requires modding the 4wd crossmember (adding some height to it), as a rwd gearbox crossmember won't have enough width to span across the chassis.

The diff stub will also need to be changed to suit RWD tailshaft. (4 bolt instead of GTR 6 bolt allen key)

The above will be my plan B, but It would be a real pain, as i would have to fork out extra cash for a RB25det box, whereas the GTR box is essentially a longer version of an RB25det box with the transfer case and longer shaft.

Scotty,

Early GTR gearboxes run a spline or floating type front shaft, not flanged like the Stagea's (i forget the terminology, . Therefore, no front shaft= transfer case oil everywhere.

I read that some people have gutted out the transfer case but have left a few things in it to keep it going. The hole where the front shaft once went in was then welded shut.

Anyone with more insight?

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
