Hi Guys,

Well I blew my gearbox up on the weekend and after ringing around it seems that 25 boxes are hard to get at the moment and not to mention the price goes up daily.

I have herd of people using 300ZX tt boxes as apparently they are stronger again then a 25 box. I also hear that they are allot bigger dimensions as well, which brings me to my question -

Has anyone put one into a r32 and can they give me any info on what was required to fit/if it fits?

Cheers,

Ben.

same box really except for remote shifter, if you can get a hold of one usually about 500ish it is a good budget conversion. all you need it a better shift mechanism to make the most of it. Race spec do the mckinney shifter kits speak to Tarek www.racespec.com.au

Do you know how much work is involved in making the bell housing mate up to the rb?

i have a R34 GTT housing you can have for $150, it comes with all the pull mechanism etc you will need to run a pull clutch though not a push. I usually use front housings off R32 GTR boxes as they are dime a dozen but all i got left is a R34 GTT ? R33 GTR one.

      I recently got their dbw 74mm throttle body and pedal kit. It is sensational quality especially the wiring harnesses. Unfortunately I can’t answer u about the fitment to stock inlet manifold as I’m going Rahjab Racing forward plenum. Only one thing to be careful of is understand u have to pay gst and import fees if your purchase is over $1,000 in one shipment.

      yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.
