Hello,

I am wanting to trade an auto RB20DET transmission for trade with an RB20DET or RB25DET manual transmission. I will even pay for the difference whatever you feel acceptable. I just want a 5 speed bad!!

TRY A VG30E transmission.... I WAS TALKING TO A GUY FROM AUSTRAILIA WHO SAID THE BELLHOUSINGS BOLT UP, I HAVE ONE AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE THAT WE MAY BE YANKING TO TRYOUT SOON.

I WOULD DO THIS BUT I WOULD NEED THE ECU, WIREHARNESS, AND DRIVESHAFT ALSO.

Hi,

Where do you live? Maybe I can drive my car to your place and do the transmission swap as I am looking for 5 Speed~~!! How much horsepower can the VG30E transmission handle? Is the VG30E and VG30ET transmission the same?

Thanks

Tony

I LIVE IN AZ, IF YOU WANTED TO DRIVE OUT ITS MORE THAN WELCOME. THE VG30E AND VG30ET ARE THE SAME AS FAR AS I KNOW. I DO KNOW THEY ARE THE SAME INTERNALLY AS THE KA24E/DE transmission. I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE THE SAME BELL HOUSING THOUGH, I WAS TOLD THEY ARE.

YES IT CAN, IT IS THE SAME INTERNALLY AS THE SR AND KA.THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE BELLHOUSING AND TAILSHAFT.I HAVE ALREADY CONVERTED THE TAILSHAFT TO ACCEPT THE KA SHAFT.

WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU NEED? ITS ALL INSTALLED IN MY CAR NOW SO I HAVE EVERYTHING FOR THE CONVERSION. JUST LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU WANT/NEED AND HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS. YOU CAN EMAIL ME AT [email protected]

Hello,

I just need to know if the transmission will bolt up to the bell housing on my rb20det? What engine do you have in your car? I can drive down to AZ next month feb 20-23 i am off. I really want 5 speed but i would need everything for the swap i.e. clutch lines, pedal, etc. I can bring down my friend and we can do the swap down there??? How much money do you want for the trade? What else do you need for the trade? My rb20det auto transmission has only 37K miles on it and is in perfect shape...no slippage whatsoever shifts hard. What is your transmission mileage? Does it have an aftermarket clutch? Do you have a place where we could do the swap?

Thanks

Tony

I HAVE THE RB20 transmission I'LL TRADE YOU, SO YES IT'LL BOLT UP. MY transmission HAS THE SAME MILES AS MY ENGINE SO 62K. I HAVEN'T EVEN PUT A MILE ON THE CLUTCH OR transmission.

I HAVE EVERYTHING FOR THE SWAP.IS THE transmission ACTUALLY IN YOUR CAR RUNNING?

I'LL FLAT OUT TRADE YOU, EVERYTHING YOU HAVE THAT IS REQUIRED TO RUN THE AUTO FOR EVERYTHING PERTAINING TO THE MANUAL. ONE THING YOU'LL NEED TO PICK UP IS ANOTHER 300ZX NA PILOT BEARING (I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND USING MY USED ONE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ZERO MILES ON IT, ONCE ITS PRESSED IN ITS KINDA DAMAGED.... BUT THE BEARING SHOULD COST NO MORE THAN $10.). DO YOU HAVE A CUSTOM D/S? BECAUSE I ONLY HAVE A STOCK S13 ONE.

YOU CAN BRING A FRIEND IF YOU LIKE BUT ME AND TOM ARE PRETTY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND EFFICIENT SO I'M SURE LABOR IS GOING TO BE NO PROBLEM. WE CAN DO IT AT TOMS HOUSE WHERE MY CAR IS STORED AND WORKED ON. I HAVE A R32 PEDAL SET OR MY S13 ONES BTW AND THEY WILL BOTH WORK.

THINGS I'LL NEED FOR MY END:AUTO transmission W/ TQ CONVERTER AND FLEXPLATEDRIVESHAFTTRANNY/ENGINE HARNESSSHIFTERECUAND ABOUT AN HOUR TO TRACE ANY VACUUM HOSING TO THE transmission.VARIOUS MISC STUFF

Hello,

SOUNDS AWESOME MAN!! I have a custom driveshaft made for the auto transmission with new U-joints in. Also this auto transmission is up and running in my car. This is the car I will be driving down to AZ. We will HAVE to get the car in running order in order for me to driveback. I am wandering if your 2 piece driveshaft fit for your car with the manual transmission? Are the U-joints still good? I guess we will be trading ECU's also. Are you sure your ECU is for rb20det r32?

So i guess we will be trading -my driveshaft for yours-my ecu for yours-my autoshifter for your stick shift (do you have one?)-my auto transmission for your manual transmission

Sounds like a good deal, another question is this the RB20DET manual transmission or VG30E transmission?

Thanks tony

THIS IS ALL RB20DET PARTS, EXCEPT THE CLUTCH WHICH IS VG30DE NA.

MY CAR IS TOTALLY UP AND RUNNING AND EVERYTHING IS IN WORKING ORDER. THE DRIVESHAFT FITS AND HAS GOOD U-JOINTS AS FAR AS I KNOW. THE ECU IS FROM A R32 I EVEN HAVE THE ENGINE TAG IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE IT. IF YOU'D LIKE I CAN GET A U-JOINT FOR YOU AND WE CAN TAP THAT IN SOMETIME BEFORE YOU GET HERE.

AS FAR AS I KNOW THE RB20 transmission HAS HELD ABOUT 375WHP SO ALITTLE OVER 400 TO THE FLYWHEEL. JUST REMEMBER THE TRANNIES ARE THE SAME AS THE KA AND SR COUNTER PARTS SO THEY HAVE AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS FOR THEM IF YOU TAKE IT TO A PERFORMANCE TRANS SHOP.

thats cool man, so are you sure u want to do the swap because I REALLY want a 5 speed. Just one question though, why do you want an automatic? You just want a nice relaxing, cruisng vehicle dont you? It is nice having an auto just to drive with one foot and relax but sometimes i just want to get up and GO which auto makes it no fun lolzz e-mail me at [email protected] or I will e-mail you later tonight so we can discuss the details. Thanks Tony

I DON'T CARE EITHER WAY. THE AUTO CAN BE BUILT TO MANUAL SHIFT OR SET TO CRUISE. YOU CAN MAKE AN AUTO FAST BY CHANGING GEAR RATIOS AND FINAL DRIVE RATIOS. I'M SURE THAT I'LL TRADE YOU..... IN FACT WE ARE GOING TO START TEARING MY CAR DOWN, AGAIN, CLEANING AND STORING YOUR PARTS UNTIL YOU GET OUT HERE.

MY PLANS FOR MY CAR IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE MUCH MORE THAN A CRUISER, I'M GOING FOR 400HP TO THE GROUND, 1G SKID PAD, AND GREAT BRAKING DISTANCE. I JUST WANT THE OPTION TO CRUISE OR RACE AND AN AUTO WILL DO IT FOR ME. PLUS IF I REALLY WANT A MANUAL I CAN JUST SWAP BACK TO MANUAL.
