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 :)

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
