I'm having an issue finding out what starter i have. This starter came with the motor set when i bought it years ago, since then starter had been giving me problems, had it rebuilt but its still acting up.

I'm trying to find what other starter i can use that will match this starters dimension since i'm in the USA, if unable to locate id gladly locate it internationally as well so i can get the car back on the road.

Motor R33 RB26, Trans RB25

Today i had an electrical repair shop give me this starter to try however the nose is way too big and hits the trans housing.

Here are some pics, what i have been able to identify on old starter part number is 23300-20P05 (i think its missing numbers after 5, perhaps 51 or 52?)

Firstly, that part number format is correct, it is xxxxx-xxxxx so there is no digit missing.

Starters are not normally a problem in Oz because all of the RB motors (RB30, RB25, RB26, RB20) all use the same one, as well as a locally built holden shitbox. They would also be readily available ex japan, but I have no idea what common US car would use the same.

Gents I would gladly buy a starter out of the country as long as I know of a reliable unit that will actually fit, if no part numbers are musing from my label (first picture) it makes 23300-20p050 does anyone have an actual year/make/model that this ties to? Google came up with nothing :(

It def has to be the same dimension as the part of rb25 wont accommodate anything longer, such as ka24 I attempted to install today.

Thanks for everyone's input!

Hi mate, just recheck your pic, it shows 23300-20P05, not what you posted above (-20P050).

You could always buy brand new from amayama but ouch! US519 https://www.amayama.com/en/search?q=23300-20P05.

I don't know how to reverse search to a model, but your number matches an R33 GTST VIN that I have. It has an alternate part number 23300-AA300 which will be a direct fit, and another part number 23300-08U15 for a different "specification"....my non-existent Japanese wont let me work out the difference

Anyway, all that aside, if you are happy to buy from Japan just contact Jesse Streeter and tell him you need a starter motor for an RB25 he'll come up with new and 2nd options for you.

Thanks mate!

The label on my starter is old so the numbers wore off but I'm happy you verified correct part # -20P050

Also if direct cross reference is part # 23300-aa300 I have seen those float on eBay from some U.S. Sellers 2nd hand and will give them a shot as my unit is completely toast :(

This part # 23300-08U15, would this fit also or it's totally different? Thanks for the referrals where to obtain them I'll try them out in event I cannot locate them stateside.

Tons of thanks for the info!!

just found this one in the states, 23300-AA300, looks just like the 23300-20P05, however since this is a large wholesaler they were unable to send me front picture of the unit to see if its exact same as mine, looking at photo comparison looks almost identical, fingers crossed that this works!!

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
