Has anyone had experience at converting a D22 Navara gearbox into a 25det gearbox. I understand they are both the FSR30A but need a bell housing swap. Is this all that has to happen?

Cheers

I am in the process of attempting this at the moment.

I have the a D22 VG30 $WD box partly stripped next to my R33 GTR box also partly stripped (especially most of the teeth on 3rd gears)

The D22 box has longer input and output shafts so I am stripping the 2 boxes to see if I can put the gearsets from the D22 into the GTR box  🤔 .

Let me know if you want to hear whether it works out.

A lot of people including me will be interested in this. The more detail the better, cheers.

Did one of these late last year to go behind an rb. Used a late model D22 RWD unit that we managed to source at the wreckers

Input shaft is longer in the spiggot section, but can be machined down to suit desired length. 

bell housings will swap over to what ever style rb you want to use

As per turboedsloth comments. Mine blew 3rd when already in gear and putting load on coming out of corner. Not stronger than GTR gears and ratios help for staying on boost in 2nd at 4000rpm and 60km/h.

Probably okay for 600hp on road tyres, but not 600+kW on full slicks.

Also only 70% engagement on spline of front twin plate clutch plate.

I used Redline Shockproof medium weight oil.

Looking at Samsonas option now.

Cheers

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
