hey,

I have an 1993 R32 GTST and just blew a box. I have heard that rb20 boxes arnt much good and to go for an rb25 box. I have heard its a bit dearer and harder to do but is it worth it? has anyone else done this transfer and had good results? My car makes 345rwhp so it has to handle that,

thanks

Hey man,

I have also gone through a couple of RB20 boxes. The fact is, you only have to go through 2 Rb20 boxes to equate to the cost of an Rb25 box. If you can afford it, putting the RB25 box in is the go - just make sure you find someone that knows exactly what they have to do. When i was making enquiries about rb25 box in my r32, i found myself having to tell the mechanics what to do rather than them telling me what they had to do... which scared me.

Good Luck with it man.

thanks,

i have a guy who I kinda know that put a rb25 in his 32. He seems to know what he is talking about so I think that mite be the way to go. I have a 5 puck sprung os giken extreme clutch so it would be a bit nasty on the box too. Apparently you have to shorten your tailshaft and change the speedo gear so the speedo reads rite? dunno, stupid gearbox.

i have 270rwk and my rb20 box is alive and fine

i have the same and the box has ben geting a bigger whine each week.

Not its so loud you'd think the car was supercharged.

Its taken a fair amount of punishment though i must admit.

Get a 25 box, its not a great effort to put it in, as aKTiVE said... go through 2 RB20 boxes and you'd done the cost of a 25'er

its not an os giken its an exedy extreme clutch matt..... taking that clutch out is not an option... it shat a brand new heavy duty organic after 5 runs on the dyno this clutch is the only one thats been able to hack the power in an off the shelf clutch....

ive advised matt to find anoter cheap rb20 box to get him rolling again and to start taking it a little easier on the 20 box till he can afford to have all the bits to do the 25 conversion in one hit rather than taking 2 months to get all the bits together while the car is off the road.... he has only had it for 2 weeks all up so far..... hes just gotta get over the "i have a new car that spins the wheels whenever i want it to SIK BRO!!!" period

haha

and yeah incase anyone is wondering yeah its my old 32 gtst :)

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
