gordy.r Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 What about an SRD built gearbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullAttack Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 The E36 range of boxes will not fit. I use an ABCclutch kit which is a conversion kit to use an E46 M3 6spd Getrag. Very strong box and easy to find. The conversion kit is a proper bit of kit, not like some of the lash conversions iv seen.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 No, just save for a Getrag six speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coza Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Cd009 is a 6 speed , getrag so hard to find ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FullAttack Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Would this work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291058824947 That's an e46 M3 6spd Getrag.. EXACTLY what I use on my 1jz(same as 2jz).. With the kit I use it's a cheaper conversion than a v160.. And just as strong.. They shift nicer too.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ReaperST Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 any info you have on that conversion FullAttack? You put it into a Supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Bumping this thread as I'm curious about the 350z gearbox. Does anyone know what the gear ratios are and how it would effect acceleration/top end with a large UK diff compared to the Supra getrag?

jimmy1985 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 try supra forum as they use 350 boxes I'm I've been told. 'm thinking about doing this myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Id be more interested in that e46 conversion. would also say an E46 m3 box would be a better one, but only because the E46 box has a lovely gear change, where the 350z one feels a little Soft by comparison. To be fair, the 350z I drove had a very hard life, which could be a contributory factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Id be more interested in that e46 conversion. I hadn't considered it before, TBH. I just noticed more and more skidders using the 350z box and they hold up well with abuse. I'll definitely look into it. try supra forum as they use 350 boxes I'm I've been told. 'm thinking about doing this myself Sweet. Will go and take a look. I am warm to the idea of a smoother gearbox to operate and one which is A LOT cheaper to replace should anything go wrong.

jimmy1985 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 It will probably work out similar price to the v160 once you have got all the parts to make it, maybe a little cheaper but it will be newer and a lot less miles on it., that's why I'm thinking of doing this in the future. I'm not sure if they have made a complete kit that you can buy or you have to collect it all yourself. (not got that far ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy1985 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The boxes are cheap,, making it work costs a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 The boxes are cheap,, making it work costs a bit Just off the top of my head: - propshaft - bellhousing/adapter plate - gearbox mounts - shifter reposition/extension - clutch/ flywheel This all sounds very expensive, unless someone started putting a kit into full production, I can't see how all this could be done for much less than the price of a getrag box. - possible diff change depending on ratios Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
