Suitability Of S15 6spd Gearbox

[MattD]

Hey guys,

I have access to an s15 gearbox.

Has this conversion been done before? or more realisticly, is it possble?

Thanks in advance.

What are you converting exactly?

[darrinspencer]

I assume you mean in a Stagea?

4WD?

Considering these boxes break in a lighter, RWD car with less torque, I dealt they will last long in a heavy 4WD Stagea, if that is your idea

If you want 6 speed, maybe a R34 GTR box is a better option.

What are you converting exactly?

99 series 2 rs4 tiptronic.

I plan to do a full manual conversion in the very near future, A freind of a freind is selling a complete trans for a very competitive price is all.

Don't particularly want a 6 speed, just full manual of course.

Just throwing it out there.

The S15 6 speed is considered a weaker box than the S13 5 speed. The S13 5 speed is considered to be about as good as an RB20DET gearbox.

The S15 6 speed is a rear wheel drive box only, no provision for the 4wd transfer case.

Does that answer your question?

cheers

As above, its just RWD but if you have a RWD stag that should be fine.

S15 boxes suck Everyone does S13 box conversions.

Just get an R34 GTR 6 speed and dont hook up the transfer case...

Thanks Sydney kid,

hey alex, whats a 34gtr box worth? Probably more than my car I'd imagine.

[AlexCim]

no idea, but when i was looking r32/33 boxes were going for 800/1300ish for good ones.

Id image somewhere around the 3-4k mark as they wouldnt have that many KM's and would be in possibly high demand

[MattD]

Cheers Alex.

I'll be sticking with the tried and true conversion guide then.

if you buy a GTR box and plan to use it in 2wd only mode for the rest of its life, what do you physically have to do to the box to make this happen?

sell it and get a GTST box
