Ok so i have an r31 with an rb20 gearbox in it, the rb20 box was rooted and clutch was faaaaarked so i went and spent all my
money on a 5 puk ceramic cutch and wicked pressure plate to help out with the power im planning on making
heres the issue I did soooo much research called jap wreckers to double check and everyone said the SR20DET gearbox was identical to the RB20DET gearbox
so all i had to do was change my current bellhousing and hey presto the car will live again...... so stupid me went out and got and SR20 gearbox.........
and people NO it was not the same..... it LOOKS pretty close but the SR20 gearbox is 40mm longer.....
so now im stuck with a driveshaft that wont fit on my 31, poor me what to do i thought looked up some more info and apparently the auto driveshaft is 40mm shorter than the manual one
all u gotta do is change the actual bit that goes into the back of the gearbox to the manual one, the yoke or sumthin like that. anyway had a look and NO WAY
the caps on the manual are smaller than the ones on the auto so the yoke thingy wont transfer over
i was told my only other option was to get it cut welded and balanced, but i didnt want to do that untill i got an RB25 gearbox to match it up right away
so does anyone hav any advise? im really stuck
