You should of picked up a RB25 gearbox. The RB20 box will be a little too weak.

na all the pro drifters r getting them. i resurched it and the rb20det is inly weeker in 1st and 2nd gear, well thats what i got told.

oh and what color should i paint it? its a tos up between mitellic orange with black bonet, black roof and black boot or all matt black with bronze or gold mags>?

na its was only a neo 2L. maxd out at 40kmh up a hill. no grunt

Fact: Non-Turbo R34's come with a RB25DE from the factory. The RB NEO engine is 2.5L.

na all the pro drifters r getting them.

I find that very hard to believe.

I don't think you researched it properly. Mate up the gear box to a RB25DET and it will be extra weak.

There is a section on the forums too discuss cosmetics. Please use that section for more info and advice on paint colour etc.

oh nyc car dude. dig da wing ae

Using "ghetto" style spelling from "da hood" will make you a target of abuse.

Please use the search button first before asking questions, as your questions may have already been asked and answered at an earlier stage.

Do yourself a favour and get yourself an RB25det gearbox. It will be a waste of time and money if you put the rb20 box on.

Well how'd you be. They do exist. The R34 GT came with a RB20DE NEO motor.

They must be rare as hens teeth. I've never seen or heard of them in Australia or Japan. Goodness knows why anyone would buy one. Hence the conversion I suppose.

Sorry for implying they never came with one. I stand corrected.

lol @ r34 with RB20DE.

i feel for ya, i really do.

as for gearbox, get rid of the rb20det gearbox and buy an rb25det one. will save hassles later on.

dont forget to upgrade brakes, driveshafts etc if u want more power, as they will be shithouse.

hay thanks. yeah i thought i might have to up grade brakes and all that. but its already 5 stud. would i still need to upgrade the brakes? as for the gearbox im hoping it will hold out until i can afford the money to get a rb25det. they are very expensive. hardst thing about this gearbox is trying to get a drive shaft that will fit a rb20det.

yeh i wouldnt wanna have an rb25det with rb20de brakes...it'd kinda suck. especially if u plan on making more power. id do all the brakes first before u decide to make more power. doesnt matter if its 5 stud, thats just the hub, nothing to do with braking. so you would be better off getting disc's and calipers off an R33 or an R34 with the rb25det.

Kudos Motorsports has a complete R33 auto to manual kit.

Maybe he can separate the bits you need. Maybe not. He might not want to separate.

I would of thought NZ had some import wreckers over there to get parts from. Otherwise you'll have to source them from wreckers here in aus.

Try Nisswreck.

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By marni · Posted

      Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
