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.

I probably change properly but buggered what you call the different way you change.

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

how did they break exactly?

What sort of motor where they sitting behind

[calais25t]

one the hard casing was worn off the gears the other just chewwed itself to pieces.

They are equivelent in strength to an NA vl commodore weak as p***

behind an rb25

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

[calais25t]

yeah no doubt dont get me wrong they are good value for the price

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

[calais25t]

mate just go for the rb25det box and u should not have a problem
