Havnt had the car long and speedo didnt work when i got it.

whiped the sender out and the gear was all munched but looked in the hole to check the gear in the box and low and behold.

anyone broken these before? can you replace the gear yourself without much hassle? or cheepish at the box shop.

was thinking about getting a 25det box in the future but may have to get it out of the way now.

 the sender that was init doesn't look like a nissan one anyone know?

yeah i thought so. looks like im in the market for a big box then.

I have looked at a few old posts re guarding the conversion to 25detbox and looks like i need crossmember and front driveshaft but have a few questions about some other things.

the cars an r33 factory auto 25det thats been converted to 20detmanual

can i use any of the old set up, ie flywheel/clutch/slave and master with the 25 box?

RB flywheel, clutch & slave are all interchangeable as long as you stay with push type, not pull type (ie, it will be different stuff if you get an R34 box, which is pull type).

You will need to work out what to do with a speedo drive. Depends on what silliness was pulled to make a 20DET box work in your car (which should not be easily compatible).

And when you say "front driveshaft", I presume you really just mean "front half of the tailshaft", yeah?

ok thaks for that. yeah i just read up on the 34 boxes about the pull/push type.

main concers was the clutch/flywheel as its got a hd clutch of some sort and was thinking thats gona be extra cost if would have to change at the same time.

the sender that i have is either a s14/13 silvia was was just wired up to the loom with the gearbox reverse/neutral i spun the sender with my fingers out of the box and moved the needle on the speedo. from what i have read the 25gearbox sender should just wire up if anything change the plugs.

yeah my bad i did mean tailshaft.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
