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.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
