Skyline Rb25de 5 Speed Tranny Same As Rb25det Tranny ?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone ,

As the title suggests can anyone advise 100% for sure whether the RB25DE (non Turbo) 5 Speed Transmission is the same as RB25Det (Turbo) Transmission ? Does anyone know if they will interchange without problem ? Both cars by the way are 1997 series 2 variants.

Secondly does the series 1 and series 2 , 5 speed RB25det Trannys differ , are they interchangable without problem ?

PLEASE HELP !

Thanks !

Don't know if this helps, but when looking at short shifters, the listing on them states that one type will fit the r32 turbo and 33 non turbo,, the turbo for the R33 was a different shifter to the non turbo,,,,

cheers

you'll find the information elsewhere on here.. but I am pretty positive they are not the same strength as the turbo box, more in line with the RB20 box. So don't go thinking they will hold up similarly.

They look different as well, the rb25det box is pretty fat and has a lot of ribbing on the side.. the DE one isn't. The DE one is also worth next to nothing, probably for good reason.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
