Hey guys, I have access to a decent series 1 R33 RB25-DET gearbox. Just curious as to if there was alot of diffrence between the 3 RB25-DET boxes? I know cubes guide touches on it a bit, and im not talking about clutch differences. Can they all handle the same power?

Also what is invloved in fitting one to a R32? It will be behind (eventually) a RB30-DET

If anyone tells him to do a search, do it yourself first, there isnt a lot of info really, not in the one topic at least.

Maybe the few people who have done the conversion, and actually know what they are talking about post it in here and we make a sticky topic?

ok....here we go :)

r33 box bolts up to rb20/25/30 motor and gearshift is in same spot.

U need : rb25det gearbox, rb20det tailshaft end that bolts to diff, r32 gtr speedo sender, r33 red cog off speedo sender in r33 box u have, custom tailshaft, custom gearbox mount, r33 gearbox yoke.

R33 gearbox is longer so using a auto x member only works if you have an auto chassis to begin with (bolts in).

Cut the brown r32 gtr cog off the sender, and swap it for the r33 red cod (do a search i showed pics on "speedo sender fixed")

Any other q's lemme know :)

Earlier r33's like 92-93 use the push, later ones use the pull.

I wouldnt worry about which one is internally stronger. If you are that worried, get an OS gearset, or dogbox.

There is a conversion to make push to pull, or pull to push....i just used the push to keep it the same as the r32 setup.

Thats the whole reason for the conversion. If I wanna know if i can get away with a series 1 box, as its easier.

Realisticly i need this box to hold 450ish rwhp daily, which ive heard the 25 boxes can handle.

The reason I was asking about which had which type of clutch so we can make the one thread and sticky it. So we dont have to go thru like 20 others to try and find the info. I think as people use the RB20 more as its a cheaper motor, they will want to be using the rb25 box. So to save the hassles, one thread with all info would be much easier yeah?

I would say that all the RB25det boxes are of same strength, Possibly newer ones might hold up a bit better if they arent as fatigued as old boxes...

A cheaper alternative to the GTR speedo sender is the Nissan Navara speedo sender, Ive posted the part number numerous times here. It should only cost you $24 and readily available at your local Nissan Parts dealer. I think the GTR speedo sender is around $150 and has to be brought in from Japan

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
