I was curious what people used for the transmission support when using the rb25box on the R32. I noticed the rb20 box only 1 of the holes lines up, other than welding a new piece on, Is there a stock support that would do the  trick.  Sorry if its been covered over and over again, I did not see any info that would help.

There are 3 Nissan gearbox crossmembers used on the various Skylines and S chassis cars, used for autos and manuals.  They are stamped A, B and C.  I can't remember which is which, and in the long run, my specific history is probably not helpful, as I first took the RB20's auto out and put in an RB20 manual box, which used a different crossmember to the original.  Then I swapped in an RB25 manual which used either the same one I originally had, or the third of them.

Regardless, look at the stamp on yours, go down to the wreckers and get one of each of the others, and you will have what you need.

There is actually A,B,C and D. And as GTSboy said its almost impossible for us to tell you what will fit as it depends on what box you have and if your car was originally manual or auto as the holes on the chassis are in different spots. It is easier to just modify your existing one.

search rbfactory i got my series 2 r33 rb25 box fitted to my hcr32 coupe through him, he fabricates gearbox crossmembers and lots of other skyline parts, super solid and doesn't charge a heap either. from the ipswich area but will post wherever. youd be looking for the 111mm slotted design, fitted my car perfectly. he actually did a run of them when he made mine so he might even have some in stock still.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
