ill sell him a good RB25DE engine and gearbox with heavy duty clutch, for 500, normally u would be looking at close to that just for a gearbox, but i really need to get rid of this engine its taking up space.

R32 box is worth around $500.

The R32 box is not weak at all.

Sure it may not handle 200+rwkw and a set of slicks but what aussy cars will? ;)

For a set of normal tyres the box's have been known to hold up to 250rwkw providing you engage the gear properly before powering on (no flatchanges)

My R32 box has done just under 100,000km's of my driving and lots of flat changes in to second and third. Its held 160rwkw with no issues. Total the box has done 165,000kms.

They are good. Get a RB20 box and with the na it won't break, even with a mild RB20DET it won't break easy.

Joels right, they are tough, just that the RB25 box is tougher again!

For constant clutch dumps (eg drags or drift) they are know to break, for normal driving they are pretty tough

Mine is still going good after 140,000kms, after a stint with semi-race tyres and a trip to the drags, my diff has died but the gearbox still seems good

The r32 box is weak as I went through a couple with 180rwkw

best off converting to r33 box

as for aussie cars that will handle 200+rwkw are you kidding

Vl turbo, ss commodore etc

I wouldn't expect a 32 geabox to cope with the extra torque of a RB25T, so I guess thats why they failed

Behaind a N/A RB25, like the dude was enquiring about, it should be fine

i know its a little bit off topic, but thought its basically under the same category. But how strong are 5 speed manaul gearboxes from a rb25de?, i'd be looking to use it for rb25det or rb30det.

From what I have picked up, they are basically the same as a RB20DET box

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
