Cheers, thanks guys.

Does anybody know what shifters ar compatable with what box? Apart from the mx7 being non compatable with the r33 box. Does anybody know if rb20det shifters fit r33, mf5, rb25de shifters?

the mx7 fits in... other than that, a custom short shifter

Doesn't work properly though. The nylon piece on the end of the shifter fell off in my brothers car. Have put an aftermarket short shifter in now and haven't had a single problem.

if u go to the nissan australia forum, they sell short shifters 25% less throw for around the $180 - $200 mark

Have put an aftermarket short shifter in now and haven't had a single problem. I had the same problem. The shifter did fit in but the nylon bit at the end kept falling off. Eventually the nylon just ended up cracking and falling apart. Food for te gears in the box. Going to look for shirt shifters now. If anyone finds some good deals then let me know. Hilly

This is a great thread, im now seriously considering converting my mf5 box to a r33 box. Good work

hey where the hell can i find a 33 box?? I have mine booked in to have it installed but i need to find a box lol! Any ideas?

Any jap import wrecker.

they all say they dont have them and very rarely get them. Bax do you know of any good qld ones?

i had the same problem jack, they are becoming harder to find coz all da drifters take em id suggest start looking interstate i know that adelaide jap sell em here in sa for $1850

yeah price has gone through the roof lately as they are pretty hard to find.

there is no way they are worth 1850 now....i thought it was more like 12-1300!

You just have to be lucky, i bought mine for $1000 three years ago. Just keep looking and eventually u will find Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i payed $1450 box only

I paid $700 with a tialshaft that I never used hahah... SUCKERS......... Some poor guy had just rolled his skyline. I said 'mate i'm diggin deep but i'll give ya $700 for the box.' He said ok and I did a backflip. Also I got a short shifter for it the other day. From autbarn of all places. Cost me $270 but it has about 50% less throw and I have NEVER ever felt a better box/shifter combo. Coudln't recommend one highly enough.

How do you find quick changes into 3rd with the short shifter? Personally I find the gears to be too close together.

I love it. The box is tight enough to center itself very well. So when changing from second to 3rd you just push forward and it find's third perfect.

Whats the difference between R34 and R33 boxes?

Does any 1 no the difference between the na and the turbo box's. I would assume it would be the same deal as the vl manuals, difference in size, but the bloke i spoke 2 said the ratios are different which is the only difference.
