Why you would even consider rebuilding an RB20 box is beyond me when you can pick them up for $200+
$1100 for synchros & bearings or you could buy a 25 box for around that and if you plan on further power mods you wont have to upgrade later or worry as much about breaking another box
True but there are still the little things you can look for like the BRIDE stamped into the plastics around the head rests.
They look legit and the rails are 100% BRIDE
If they guy is having a box replaced every 10,000ks then id say its the way he's driving. We have 2 SS crewman's as work vehicles and other than being thirty on fuel they've never missed a beat. We tow a trailer full of stock (heavier than a car) and have the try full with no dramas what so ever. The only other downside and i've noticed it with all the holden utes i've driven is that they are high in the arse end and can be a pain to see.
Hell my original tow cop was a 82 hilux on 33 running a 202 and i've struggled to find anything better than it when it comes to bang for buck.
For simplicity sake i've always gone from the actually o2 as i've never trusted the wiring diagrams i've had and some of the cars i've worked on the wiring harness has been chopped that much its not funny. Personally preference at the end of the day.
As above, i've got a wiring diagram for the GTT so i'll dig it out and post it up for you
There is no such thing as a "good cheap kit" and what it saves you when you buy it will only cost you later when your fitting/spraying it.
Search this forum as its been covered many times (nearly every 2nd thread is about body kits and have a look around and get some ideas what kit you like and go from there. If you have half an idea then there is no reason why you cant fit/tweak the kit yourself and get someone else to paint it. This will save you ALOT of $$$'s but also put into perspective that a quality genuine kit is worth its weight in gold for fitment right out of the box IMO
Yeah mate still the same just a different part number for R34 GT, R34 GT-t, Stagea WC34 (RB25DE/Neo 6) WC34 (RB25DET/Neo 6)
From memory they have 2 white and one black but you'd have to look at yours to double check
