Well boys! so i bought the r32 skyline as u can see in the build and project threads!
the gear box is missing 5th and reverse and crunching in second when revving high!
so can i put a rb25 box on it or which 1 is better.?? at the moment id say ill take out the box and let my dads friend (gearbox speciltist) and mechanic have a look at it and see how bad it actually is!
all info welcome
thanks
Throw the bellhousing on a sr box there the same as far as i know :confused:

Rb25 is the strongest box .I never had
probs with my rb20 gearbox when I had

an rb20 box will be cheaper

5th gear was gone when it came from japan and then reverse went! i was told theres a pin on those two gears and it could have fallen out of broke ! but ill have the box checked and see and if its totally fuked il just buy another 1!
On standard power the 20 box will hold up.....! But not if you up the power a bit......! If it was me id be baning in a 25 box.....! Bout 400 to 500....!Quote:

If you are not going for big power (over 330) you can stay with rb20 box-its cheaper solution then rb25.You can buy a good rb20 box for less than 300 euro (best option is to buy a box that was already rebulit).
yeah maybe right shane! wud my paddel clutch fit into the rb25???Quote:

so cheers for that!
abit of topic willium but yeno the way you wer saying to put a hydro handbreak in would u maby tink about puting that money into the gear box and insted of buying a hydro handbreak go into your shed get out a drill and i longish screw and drill the screw into the handbreak but this allows it to come up and down frely without pushing in the button and also if you wanted to spend a lil bit more you could fabricate the hand break and make it longer for easy quick use !!!! ;)
thanks for that col! but nah think i just got meself a gearbox there! and the handbrake thing! to be honest in my own opinion i think a hyrdo handbrake wud be more responsive.Quote:

yap! the hadnbrake is pretty stretched on it at the mo metinks
alrite go for it i was just putting it out ther we did it 2 my cousins bmw e30 for diffing and it worked fairly well but anyway go ahead i just cant wait for this to get in action
