oh what a nissan feeling! Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Just wondering how much shorter the rb20 gearbox is compared to the sr20 gearbox?? Has anyone measured the rb20 box end to end. thanks~matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I have seen a photo on here very recently of both gearboxes next to each other. It was a rides thread...that's all I can recall..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ke70dave Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 That's the one! I've driven an 86 with an Sr20 box (~150mm back or so) its quite good if you are tall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted October 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I had an sr20 box in the ke30, and yeh i had no issues with the shifter position, The problem is the chunky housing around the shifter means lots of cut/weld to the seat floor brace to get the engine and box sitting level. Alot of people just hang the box down lower to miss everything, but alot of people use zippy ties for engine mounts too. Looking at my ke25 now and I don't want to have to do that, even with the rb20 box I'm not sure it will clear that floor brace completely.

19914afc Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I don't think I have ever seen zip ties used to mount an engine anywhere ever, I don't know if you're serious but yeah. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
