Very good thread lists all the details but quick question wat is a Mf5 box and wat is a MX7 box? i have a N/A 5 speed and am going to convert, which box is mine?

mf5 is an n/a box and mx7 is turbo. anyone know if the input shaft on the mx7 and mf5 boxes are the same?

Pretty sure all the RB__ manual input shafts are the same.

ohh i hope it works out good mate

i was running an mx7 and ive had to get the tail-shaft lengthened. the yoke only went in 2 inches. not even close to good enough. just completed the conversion (1 year later) and let me tell you it is worth every single last penny. it is a whole new car, it feels strong and solid. very tight and smooth, and no more crunches first to second. 1st and 2nd gear are now usefull that its a bit taller. i used to sometimes have to take off from 2nd.

can i use the na auto starter for a na manual? and do i take the auto comp out and just do that wiring sh1t, or leave it in?

yeah na auto is the sameas na manual, and u will need to sort out the nutrual swith on the ecu, if u do a quick search u should be find out which wires etc

onya champ!!!! THANKS!!! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

i went to the wreckers to buy a r33 shifter and the guy said the r32 and r33 shifters are the same so i bought the r32 shifter he had but the little nylon bit on the end looks a bit small for the selector hole as there is a bit of play in the shifter. does a bigger ball need to be used? cheers

is there any advantage from say an mx7 or a t5 to a r33?

mx7 to r33? do a search.

Dont really know why you would want to either, not a great gearbox in my opinion. Both the MX7 and R33 box are a much better box than the T5.

for anyone that didnt get a r33 shifter with there box, you can use a r32 shifter but you will need to buy a r33 bush from nissan. They are only $12.45. The bush is the nlyon bit on the end of the shifter.

so wot clutch combinations can u use if i was to use a VL NA flywheel (9.5'') R31 NA skyline clutch and pressure plate R33 skyline fork, carrier and bearing would this work? has anyone used this combination?

Looks like its got most of the parts you would need, except the gearbox harness, and as you said, sandwich plate and starter. if you are going to use an R33 box with that you would also need to change the tailshaft yoke to the MX7 type, get an R33 slave cylinder and an MX7 speedo drive.
