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.

      Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.

      f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.

      Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.         As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.      I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.    Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.            BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.
