Hi,

I checked out a skyline today, was an R33 GTS RB20E with an engine transplant - an R34 NEO6. However im not sure what the gearbox was - the car was manual before the conversion, but obviously there will be a big difference between the r33 rb20e box, and an rb25det neo box.

All i could get off the box, was on the side of it, it has 2 rows of marking.

RB 71

??? #1

the ??? was in japanese or just unreadable.

Any ideas what gearbox this could be?

It's the 'small' non-turbo gearbox also found behind R32 GTSt's. Definately not an R33 turbo gearbox. They've just used the original gearbox from the car and bolted in the bigger motor - saves a bunch of work in terms of tailshafts, etc.

edit: I'll re-phrase that first sentence as: "It's the 'small' gearbox used behind RB20DET in R32GTSt's as well as non-turbo's"

thanks

i was looking at this skyline: http://www.autotrader.com.au/photodisplay....mber=W844620638

however: its not a 1998 (compliance was 98 in aus, but its a 94/95 model), it was a non-turbo (so 4 stud), the console plastic was replaced with some dodgy one, had a few scratches and dents. and the km's shown was 48000 from memory, which conflicts with the 67000 kms i found below

it did have the neo turbo engine, starcorp racing 17" rims, 2.5" (i think) exhaust, pod filter (smota super filter?), momo steering wheel

found a previous for sale ad for it from a few years ago:

7/03/2002

Nissan Skyline GTS-T R33 2.5 turbo 5 speed, silver, aftermarket exhaust & air filter fitted, alloys & new tyres, 12 mths rego, excellent condition. Genuine 67000 kms. GTS-950 Private sale. I personally selected this car in Japan & imported it myself. Reluctantly have decided to sell. > $26,000 ono.

so in the end, not for me

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
