25's are double synchro just like the 26, both boxes use the same synchro's, bearings, rings, etc

internally the only visual difference i saw was the input/main shaft looks a little different, 26 is thicker in some places, i've been told that the gears are the same as well...

there may be other little differences but basically the same,

25 boxes are very rare these days, drifter love em, so you could probably buy a 26 box and change to internals over to the busted 25 box, was considering this recently but decided against it, by part numbers most parts are the same but making parts fit is a different story...

has any1 tried this? ive heard a few but no one willing to share secrets

There are plenty of boxes around.

Its just people arent prepared to pay the asking price for em :wave:

But GTR boxes go for almost the same as RB25 boxes anyhow. Usually only $100-$150 in it

about a month or 2 ago when i was searching....

Sydney wreckers were asking $2000, Brisbane $1500... no stock in both states!!!

found a R33 GTR box in Brisbane was $1000... with warranty!!!

also found a lot of ppl trying to pass rb20det boxes and rb25de boxes off as r33 turbo boxes so be careful

The z32 vg30 boxes are the same also..i put one on my rb30det..just got the front (bell) section off a broken rb26 box and bolted it on.rear extension housing is a bit shorter but a rb25 one will go on if you want,i didnt bother im just using the vg30 one.Im making over 500rwhp and havnt had a problem.EKW in melb sell vg30 boxes for $550.

yeah exactly the same box..I've run full slicks on mine and launched it pretty hard and ive never had a problem.Admittedly ther would be a bit less stress on it because its in a fairly light 240z but i cant see it breaking..Same part code as rb25/26 boxes

They had a few at the time but that was over 6 months ago..not sure what year,they are all the same as long as its from a z32.Also i got one out of a na because they are both the same and i figured the the turbo ones would have copped more of a hard time than the na.

think i remember seeing brand new 25 boxes for 3500.. id much rather buy new than pay 2grand for a 2nd hand one that is 'supposedly' good condition!

also i have a 25 box with GTR internals but i didnt do the swap myself so i dont know if there are any complications regarding swapping. Seeing as the OS cross mission set drops straight into either box, id say it would be straightforward?

    • Um. No. Since Matt introduced the TIM it has become a lot easier to deal with the consequences of changing K for AFM and injector swaps. Then, tuning is a f**king doddle. No-one needs to know or care how many grams of air are flowing or any other bullshit. Need more fuel in a cell? Add more fuel. Need more timing in a cell. Add more timing. Need to adjust any of the other tables for warm up and so on? No harder than anything else. Sure - it's not an ECU system for starting from scratch on an arbitrary engine. But then.....it was never supposed to be, not recommended for, and almost never used that way. So.... On your engine, in particular, Nistune/Nissan OEM is about as sophisticated and difficult as banging 2 rocks together. Those ECUs are primitive and simple. There is nothing difficult there. I learnt Nistune from scratch, created new maps with extended axes, interpolated/extrapolated the original maps onto them and tuned my RB20 (basically the same ECU as your 26 ECU) all by myself, more than 20 years ago. And that was long before even TIM.
    • Set of knee pads for a R34. Will fit every model I think. Comes with everything except the rubber covers for the bolt holes. Still in great condition. You will need to drill holes to mount these or use double sided tape. I can do free shipping and will be shipping from the Netherlands with tracking.
    • Nistune needs something like an entire excel spreadsheet in which you build an abstraction layer that converts everything from real units you can actually measure into all of the various tables. The number of unexpected dependencies hiding in how the Nissan ECUs do math is a pretty impressive optimization trick for 8-bit MCUs but good god is it awful to actually work with in practice.
