Using An R32 Gtr Gearbox In A Rwd Application.


Recommended Posts

  • 4 months later...
can you share pictures of the out come? I need to see if it really work,.

Got mine in today, the box looks like a truck gearbox when bolted to the RB.

Installing it into the car (32 GTST Rb30det) was a pain. The bottom end and box was put in first as there was no room to do so with the head on.

No bashing was needed at any point and the shifter lines up with the hole as factory. The transmission crossmember is being mod'd atm more pics to come...

Hey guys,

Sorry to revive an old thread, but i am currently going down this path as well as im converting a 180sx rolling shell that i purchased to run the RB26 engine out of my GTR (its getting an upgrade) and converting the GTR 5 speed gearbox to use also.  Im all good with the transfer case modifications and have the shafts apart etc, my question is around the speed sensor.

Does anyone know what speed sensor to use in the transfer case?  The standard GTR one is obviously a cable driven sensor that connects to the speedo, but the 180sx dash uses the electrical type sensor.  I have heard that the Z32 sensor is compatible but havent been able to track one down as yet to test it out.  Im also going to be running an R32 GTS4 4.3 ratio diff so would be trying to find one with that calibration if possible.  The gearbox im converting is actually from a GTS4 as well, so the speed gear should be 4.3 already if they are different.

Cheers!

I'm also looking at doing this and trying to work out how to get the speedo working in an r33 gtst.

From what i have found searching, i would say that the R33 GTR speedo sensor should work for you mate.  The R33 GTR sensor is electronic and will bolt straight into the 32 GTR transfer case as they are interchangeable.  I am looking to source one from Japan as i think it should solve my issue with getting a speed signal to the S13/180sx dash as well, i just may have to use a trim module to fine tune the accuracy.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
