oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Rb25 gearbox gets very expensive as it requires adaptor plates ect, plus the $1300 buy in price. But is very strong. Â An rb20 gearbox is 50 mm shorter in the shifter position, and is internally the same as the sr20 box, the sr20 bellhousing also bolts straight on.

Souli Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Thanks for input man.. We r sticking with SR gearbox for now..  What brake n calliper combo would u suggest for front n back.. The more research the more indecisive I get lol  Thinkin falcon or commo for the front..  Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 The most popular is corona/ celica strut with pug rotors and hilux callipers, i guess it depends on your budget. Â Hopper stoppers make a kit using the falcon gear, lots of $$ though. Â I'm having the same problem with my very low budget ke25 build, trying to find a cheap option atm.

Souli Posted December 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 There are heaps of options though I've decided to use hopper stoppers.. That way it's done once and done well n I won't have to worry bout second Hand parts etc..  I'll b running hilux drum brakes at the rear    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 (edited) have you talked to an engineer about the hilux rear drum, most wouldnt allow it. Â Hilux can easily be converted to ea falcon, or r31 rear disk. Edited December 4, 2012 by oh what a nissan feeling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19914afc Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Hilux drums are huge, and for such a light car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 It wont be light after he fits the hilux diff and that hopper stopper kit!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUZ440 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Better using the hilux/pug kit, or even Nissan 4 pots as works well with the Nissan pedal box with 7/8 master and stanza booster, Â As big as the drums are, engineers will advise disc brake rear, almost instant pass on RWC, I had mine done twice in qld and once in NT, did not even test them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Drums lock up much easier than disk, that is the one and only reason, size is not relevent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chestikoph1 Posted December 8, 2012 Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Hi mate, Â Another option for the front is ae86 struts with Mazda rx7 4pot calipers and civic rotor combo. I have them on my sr powered ke55, and they a great set up, also give you more options on strut inserts. I should have all the info on my rides thread if you want the specific parts needed. Good luck with the conversion, well worth it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
