Hi drift_me_silly, you asked "q....if r33 auto diff fitted to r32 with r 25 box....would fifth at 100k's drop down to around 2ooorpm?..."

As far as I know the Auto R33 diff and the Manual R32 diff are the same ratio (4.363 to 1). So I don't understand the question...

The Series 1 R33 clutch (push type) is the same as the R32 clutch. The Series 11 R33 and R34 is different (pull type). We have used the same OS Giken twin plate in an R32 GTR, R32 GTST and S1 R33 GTST. Fits straight in. Hope that answered your question.

The Trust 6 speed has a close ratio set of gears whereas the R34 GTT has a wider ratio set. So not comparing apples with apples. Any car with any engine would be faster accelerating with the close ratio gearset than the wider ratio.

Hope that helps

My R32 GTSt has a flywheel and clutch meant for an R32 GTR, so whatever the differences, they don't stop you fitting/switching.

... and as for fitting an Rb25 behind an RB20, im not having any trouble with my box at them moment. (im guessing i have between 135-150rwkws) At what sort of rear wheel power figures do they start having troubles. And what troubles surface first?

Hi guys, the starter motor bolts up in the same spot, so the flywheels must be the same diameter. The bolt pattern on the crankshafts are the same. All the gearboxes have the same size and splined input shaft. So if you consider the package (flywheel, pressure and clutch plate), then all Skylines with the push type actuation are interchangeable.

RB20 flywheels are a bit lighter than RB25's and the clutch friction surface is smaller in diameter. So I don't think you could use an RB20 flywheel with an RB25 pressure and clutch plate, not without machining anyway.

Change the lot all together though and there are no problems.

Hope that clarifies further

I was looking at bot gearboxes today and i removed the speed sensor from the rb25 box and it was very long, about 4inces, then looking at the rb20 box the sensor is more towards the back of the box and i could not be any longer than about 2inches, i couldnt take it out as i would then have to replace the oil but i just wanted to know if there was any special trick to swaping them over as the rb25 one is long with a red gear on the end and it appears to be all in one piece.

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
