This is pretty urgent fellas, front seal is leaking on my semi stuffed rb20 box. So why waste money fixing the weak link, and just replace it with the RB25. Cost wise isnt too bad.

But basically, I can go read all the RB25 boxes in to R32s but it dont mean squat if the cefiro is that much different. So if anyone knows if its the same please let me know asap.

If its no and you know what is needed please list it. If its yes, well shes apples.

Thainks, and once again, this is URGENT.

why not just use an r32 box!!

Because it broke... And then a new one, will break, and so on and so on. Its basically wasting money. Everything bolts on clutch wise etc, its just cross members and tailshaft.

the 25 box will go in the ceffy behind the rb20, but u will need to sort out

clutch slave cylinder(they is different) and tailshaft(front tailshaft yoke is different and the rb25 box is shorter)

Do you know whats needed with the slave cylinder at all??? Is it as simple as using a RB25 one? Or does the rb20 one need modding? If so what? And yeah, I knew about the tailshaft, thats pretty much a non issue.

yeah u need an rb25 slave cylinder, the mounting holes are different

Ahh ok, cool pretty simple. What about cross member if you know? Im guessing it needs custom anyway, if so, non issue. And Id guess speedo cable is gtr, same as r32 gtst conversions use?

speedo cable is a good question, cefiro=manual speedo pickup

rb25 gearbox=digital speedo pickup

so u need to change the speedo sensor in the box to a manual pickup or change your speedo to digital(i did the later cost small fortune), apparently a sensor from a navara is suppossed to fit

Yeah, try not to go for a 1 peice tailshaft tho, its a pain in the neck.

Fits in fine, works good. We just reused my orginal cross member, and moved it back, and added a plate to it or something.

Id doubt you will get on in by saturday tho. Cause you need to cut down the tailshaft etc.

I'll do a proper post tonite.

    • I mean this in no disrespect to u mate; Are there clear tagged examples/explanations in our SAU forum for example, in my interest, this is how to do R34 Gtt suspension the right way? U guys did so much taking risks with experimentation that deserves recognition and those results helps us morons take the RIGHT path to buy quality / buy once. 🍻
    • Pretty much what you'd expect at that power level. Hypergear turbo, long list of supporting mods, full Haltech catalogue, etc.  I'd say this goes for most drivers, suspension is still a dark art for most people. And it's really hard to convince someone how much better their setup could be...  
    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
