Hi Jason,

If Mr Mac isn't biting then I would seriously consider buying that gearbox, if you know that it is in good going order. I am assuming it's out of the late V8 C210. The 2nd hand box that recently went into my car is completely stuffed. I'm in Vic, but would be happy to sort out some postage.

Cheers,

Drew

Under $200 might be a bit stiff!

I have been quoted $350 for an aussie R30 box in reasonable condition, 2nd hand from a wrecker.

I have also biught an L20ET box for $120.00 but reverse was a bit iffy, so I had it rebuilt.

I also have a US Spec BW T5 and am getting Stewart Wilkins to mod an L series front housing to accomodate an RB20DET box.

I have no trouble finding 2nd hand sub $200 dollar 240K/C210 gearboxes at the wreckers, ebay, or on Oz Dat... but I have found the problem to be the condition of the box usually lies somewhere between questionable and completely unknown. Rather than hoping for the best, I think I should just wait until I have a lazy $500 - $800 and completely rebuild the one I've got. If I put another 2nd hand box in my car only to find it was stuffed I'd definitely throw a wobbly!

However... if anyone on the forum does have a 2nd hand box, and can vouch for its condition, please let me know.

sr20/ca18 box on datsun bellhousing is fairly easy. abit longer than a datsun long box tho, so gearbox x memeber will need mods.

Ive looked at rb30e, and they looking like a easy mod for a datsun L series bellhousing.

So this would mean the rb20det box (same as rb30e bar double synchro's on 2nd and 3rd) would be a goer too?

Cheers,

Dan

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
