will have to give it some thought. availability & price will come into it. 6spd SR = rare, Z33 = lots, RB25 = lots. was there an oil issue with older box say pre 2004?
conversion is simples really
there are 2 options:
1. Custom adaptor plate to fit between engine & bell housing
2. Get the welder out & mate the SR bell housing to the chosen gearbox (RB25/Z32/Z33)
Both also require a custom prop shaft ( Carbon Fibre )
&
depending on you clutch/fly wheel setup you may require a change of either/or or just clutch release bearing. I'm sorted with this as my orc ogura clutch & fly is happy in the Z box/RB box/SR box etc
what i'm looking at is putting a Z33 box im my S15 to replace the SR 6spd as the SR boxes are weak. idealy i'd like to keep 6 gears ( hence Z33 ) but it is gona cost $$$$ to do conversion & if the Z33 box has problems i'd be better off doing RB25/Z32 as it is cheaper to do & box is fairly bulletproof.
i believe the weak synchros are actually 5th, 6th and 2nd normally
Weak in what way? That they expolde & need rebuild or that they are slow to engage when pushing it on & really just annoying but liveable?
no fella still researching. Z box looks to have its shifter fairly far back compared to SR but need to have them side by side really & measure.
Power wise say 430 bhp
torque say 410 ft/lbs
glad to hear it. you got any info for me?
The search is terrible on this forum. Put in 350z gearbox & it brings up every single post that exists which contain any of the letters & numbers you searched for
