I was curious what people used for the transmission support when using the rb25box on the R32. I noticed the rb20 box only 1 of the holes lines up, other than welding a new piece on, Is there a stock support that would do the  trick.  Sorry if its been covered over and over again, I did not see any info that would help.

There are 3 Nissan gearbox crossmembers used on the various Skylines and S chassis cars, used for autos and manuals.  They are stamped A, B and C.  I can't remember which is which, and in the long run, my specific history is probably not helpful, as I first took the RB20's auto out and put in an RB20 manual box, which used a different crossmember to the original.  Then I swapped in an RB25 manual which used either the same one I originally had, or the third of them.

Regardless, look at the stamp on yours, go down to the wreckers and get one of each of the others, and you will have what you need.

There is actually A,B,C and D. And as GTSboy said its almost impossible for us to tell you what will fit as it depends on what box you have and if your car was originally manual or auto as the holes on the chassis are in different spots. It is easier to just modify your existing one.

search rbfactory i got my series 2 r33 rb25 box fitted to my hcr32 coupe through him, he fabricates gearbox crossmembers and lots of other skyline parts, super solid and doesn't charge a heap either. from the ipswich area but will post wherever. youd be looking for the 111mm slotted design, fitted my car perfectly. he actually did a run of them when he made mine so he might even have some in stock still.

    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
