Hey guys, just wondering if i should do this, as someones putting an rb20det gearbox in an r32 gtr.

The main advantage here to me is price, a 20det over here can cost near nothing, whereas the rb25 can cost up to $$2500!

Im converting my r33 gts25t auto to manual, and would like to know what you all think of this as an option????

Also, what other things should be upgraded at the same time when the conversion takes place???, is heavy duty clutch the way to go?if yes which type should i go for?

thanks

If you put an rb20 box behind an rb25....

You will blow that box earlier... On a standard motor you would not have a problem.... But if you wish to push a few extra kw's you will destroy the rb20 box....

My old r31 rb20 went thro 3 rb20 boxes in 12 months (241rwkw).... Got an rb25 box and never had a problem

A heavy duty clutch will just help you destroy the box more quickly.

Agreed. My RB20 180 blew 3 gearboxes in 3 months after a got upgraded the clutch.

Sure you save money getting the 20 box, but the hastle of them blowing its not worth it. Nothing worse than sitting on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck and being off the road. Doesnt take long to wear thin

I don't know how redily available Z32 parts are over there, but the NA clutch and pressure plate mate right up to the rb25 box.

And if you ever manage to blow up the rb25 box (which won't happen), it has the same internals as the TT Z32 box.

Do you know this for certain? Have you done a rebuild using the 300zx internals?

My 25det box needs new bearings, and CBC dont list any parts for the rb25....

I need part numbers for a bearing kit in the rb25det box....

    • Selling a SMIC for a Nissan Stagea C34 Series 2 and the pipe from the intercooler to inlet. (I believe it is the same R34 GTT, please correct me if I'm wrong) Price: $50? I dont have a photo of the big black pipe that goes from SMIC outlet to throttle body.
    • So the original radiator is leaking now. Looking at getting a fully aluminium one next. Am I correct in saying that the Series 2 Auto Stageas have a separate trans cooler from factory (located in between the rad and intercooler in my previous post/message).   Currently looking at Fenix $460, Blitz $700, GReddy $800, and KoyoRad $740. What are everyones thought on Fenix ( ive read a few comments saying theyre cheap Chinese rebrands etc and how their build quality is... well.. chinese...)  compared to the others? Worth the extra couple hundies?
    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
