the VL box is not.

it has a rougher shift and less syncjro's or something to that description.

coming from the VL "area" of the world, i've seen many a blown manual MX-7

the RB25 is MUCH tougher

the vl n/a box is similar the rb20 box

the vl turbo box is similar to the rb25 box

from what i've seen the only major differances are that the rb20 and rb25 boxes have double synchros on some gears whereas both vl boxes are all single synchro.

plenty of poeple have put lots of power through a vl turbo box without a problem, and the only way i've heard of them breaking is when boosting hard with a modified motor in 5th gear.

i doubt the RB25 box is 'MUCH' tougher, but i'd get one of those if i could purely because its newer and with the double synchros it should be a smoother box.

from what i've seen the only major differances are that the rb20 and rb25 boxes have double synchros on some gears whereas both vl boxes are all single synchro.

The R33 box has double synchros in the first/second gears.

The tolarances in the box are alot tighter than in the MX7 box.

Why dont we use the VLT box in our cars instead of the double priced rb25det box ?

the MX-7 is the Turbo box, you wont find them cheap.

The "half priced" one is a stock N/A box, which is still over priced for box only.

The R33 G/boxes are the toughest. No denying that at all as can be seen from the majority of posts.

like i said, i've seen MX-7's blown, but nowhere near as many RB25 boxes.

Could be due to a lot of things, age being one.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
