Hi Guys,

Just a qucik question because i'm at work and can't sort through 50 posts to find an answer...Can someone confirm is r32 rb20det boxes are the same as r33 rb25de boxes? I've heard casual talk here and there that they are and need some confirmation...are they physically identical or with slight differences? Gear ratios the same? any input would be greatly appreciated...cheers fellas....

33's have stronger boxes..

From what I remeber.. (and please dont take my word for it.. it was a long time ago and was just flipping through the manual).. but.. I think the 33 1st 2nd 3rd gears are SLIGHTY taller.. only by 2-5 teeth..

i dont think that works mate...you can use a 25box behind the rb20...but the 25 box is slightly longer and you just need to make up a bracket to weld onto the std crossmember so it picks up the original holes. Two of the std one will line up and the bracket will let you reach the other two.

you could use th 32 box but i wouldn't count on it lasting long, they're not the strongest of box. your talking about putting a rb25det in a 32 and using the 32 box, tht could be done. 32's and 33's have different final drive (diff) ratio's so your speedo would be out if you put a 33 box on a 32 diff.

i dont think that the 33 na box is any stronger than the 32 box, most people same they are the same but it may only be refering to the gears themselvers and not the whole box because i think they are slightly different

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
