Judging by the writing on the side that sounds like an RB20DET gearbox to me.

The most noticeable difference is in the size of the thing, but yeah, google images.

Look at the slave cylinder.

If the slave cylinder is on the engine side of the throwout fork, then it is RB20 or R33 RB25. Then check where the bolts are. Bolts for slave cylinder on same side of slave cylinder is RB25 gearbox, bolts on opposite sides from each other on the slave cylinder is RB20. If the slave cylinder pushes from the rear of the box forward, then it's the Neo RB25 box and you have the pull type clutch

Yes RP71 (whatever) indicates non turbo rb20/rb25 box. RB25det box is a good 20kgs heavier and wider.

yes i know i'm posting in a year old thread, let it be.....

had my car on a hoist yesterday to check a couple of things and discovered my g/box has a little kangaroo stamped under the RP71C #1 code.

is this a common thing for these g/boxes?

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and yesterday I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany

      Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.

      I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.

      Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
