RB GEARGOX

iam looking for a box to mate up to my Rb20.i was told that a CA18 will fit directly can anyone confirm this? I was gonna go the 21R box but still need a bell housing, what else will work and still have good ratios,this will be used (abused) in drifting,burnouts, dounuts, gymkhana etc.....
I have a VG30 backie box( strong as hell) but the bell housing cant seperate from the box???? so my options are.....
get rb box - very expensive
CA18 box- might not work or need a bell housing
21R box - still need bell housing
Swop out internals of vg30 into a workable casing?!!?!?
get new eraskyline box- manual boxes are scares?!?!
help?
AND can a ca18 box work on aN SR20 and vice versa???

Depends on how much power the motor is pushing out,

The RB20 box can only handle up to 300wkw,Thats were mine broke 😳
Have the RB25 fat box now ,Bullitproof 😉

If below 300wkw ,Any import place can help you with a RB20(thin box).

The CA18 and SR20 boxes but wont take over 300wkw.

You should be able to mate the fat RB25 box to the engine if the RB20 box fitted as they are interchangable ,That will be the strongest option ,They cost R6500.00 at any import shop,The lenth of the fatbox is 800mm,thats the one you want ,I know its expensive but its worth it as you wont have anymore hassles with broken boxes.

i have a gearbox from a skyline 2.0gle....the motor is a ca20 but the gearbox is identical to the rb20e box, just different bellhousing..
where are you located?

the motor will be fairly stock,.6boost max,will only be running RB25turbo,and freeflow exhast,but definatly under 220kw,im not looking at high power figures. R6500 is alot for a box,ill spend that when i go Rb25 or26 in the future,I am in capetown at the airport,ill definatly look at a old skyline box...... thanks guys

DDKSA19 Jun 2009, 13:19

and as in life the rb box fell through.\BUT i did get a cresida box freerand..heheheh but now the magic question ,what are the differences between 21R and and 18R cresida box?
I have the matching starter if i buy a blank bell housing or a 21R to RB bell housig would i need the cresida starter or the rb starter? and the flywheel story do i leave it std....
just got my new fibre saani fendersfor the front in the process of getting the back saani fenders madeup.....

got a rb20 ( local single ohc non turbo) gearbox, can anyone shed some light on the difference between this and the other rb boxes. what i know is
rb26 gtr box is 4wd bulletproof
rb25 fatbox or dumpie -this is the box you want
rb25 thin box not so bullet proof
rb 20 will k@k under too much abuse
so how different are the rb20 local from the r31 skyline to the r32 rb20 box ?
another alternative is to strip the rb20 box and use the bell housing on a R30 28gtx box(dirt cheap very strong) ,my exhast guy is using this setup on a rb25det in a 4 door r30 skyline and it all fits with no real modifications........??!?!!?
