Hey just about to get my r32 back from the turners with around 230rwkw at the wheels but because I use the car for drift I think that Ill need to put a new gearbox in.

what I want to know are there any other options other than an rb25 box? will a VL turbo box fit?

Before you comment I have done a search & couldnt find the right info

You can fit any gearbox if you have enough time and money....

I'd think RB25 is going to have the best combination of strength, cost & ease of conversion.

I've seen another guy convert a GTR box to RWD to save a few bucks, but the comment was something like if you can't do the fabrication work yourself then it's not worth it compared to the RB25 box

yes a 25box is a good idea. the syncros a only a bit more efective but. if u smash the gears with button clutch it will pop.

a good one is the 34gtt box. beter syncro design and uses a bigger clutch.(250mm vs 240mm but pull type)

to fit it in the tunnel is a bit of an exercise. is ai origonaly an auto? they have a bigger tunel.

getting the corect drivline angle is very important.(getting the back of the box high enough)

not somthing that id do in my driveway, but much more thrashproof.

mx7 gearbox is the same size but has shit syncros and even worse ratios.

unless you want to run 3.4:1 diff ratio :angry:

I have been told the 300ZX box is exactly the same as the HCR32, except you'll need to change the bell housing.

I was told this when doing my conversion but I would want to be sure before purchasing if I was you.

I went with the R33 box.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
