if anyone has any of these boxes.. please ring me on 04 10 756 872

thanks for your help :) much appreciated :)

Rb20 NA/turbo, rb25 NA, and RB30 NA boxes are basically all identicle except for small stuff like carrier bearings etc and the fact they have different internal gearing but the input and output shaft are the same and they are the same size internally. A VLT and rb25 turbo box are quite alot bigger than the NA boxes, in every way, thus they are alot stronger and they are also more expensive as they are sought after!!!

Basically get the RB25 box and it'll last.

Get the cheaper ones and sometimes your likely to have to replace it once or twice.

Remember RB20 boxes are old, and not-so-strong

RB25 are not so old... and a LOT tougher to boot.

    • Hahahahah, look, your not wrong 馃槀馃槀 and thank you brother 馃檹馃徏 jokes aside, I haven't driven the car in 6+ years and it's like I'm starting all over again, and furthermore the car is wayyyy more powerful and it's characteristics are night and day different now compared to what I remember. So I'm slowly easing myself back into the groove, the car is literally scaring me a bit tbh.....it feels like it has 200hp more than it does on paper and responds like a cammed Ls v8, and-some! 馃槄 every single bit of throttle pedal travel and input has instant response all the way to the floor, zero flat spots or labouring feelings, it's nuts. Im shooketh, go easy on me hahahaha or don't 馃馃徏馃槉      
    • If the house has ever been sold before too, they have photos from that etc.
    • I used to do that, but then I got savvy. The benefits of having your phone photos geotagged outweigh the negatives. I just don't publish any photo straight off the phone/out of the gallery/off google photos, etc. If I'm going to use a photo, other than for SMSing to fam, I will always open it on the computer, copy it/otherwise edit it and save down without the original metadata, before using it. For example, posting photos of my engine bay into a thread on here, to show someone a plug or something - I will just screen-cap the section I want to use and paste that section direct from the clipboard into the post. No metadata goes along with.
