Re: RB25DET TO GQ GEARBOX

yes it will fit, both rb30 and rd28 use the fs5r30a trans, your clutch, flywheel and all bolts will fit the rb25.
the 30 and 25 block are near identical apart from the 30mm (approx.) extra deck height on the 30.

Re: Differences between RB30 and TB42 driveline

if your AFM is shot it will revert to a standard/safe fuel/spark map, thats why it wont rev over 2000rpm. this is like a limp-mode, you can test parts for faults & also you can move the car if needed, (like out of traffic). throw in another AFM and it should go good. the high idle is part of the ...
