Don't bother with the hassle of a "Supra 5 speed". Get an RB20 box if your planning on staying N/A or RB25 box if your going turbo.

Most of them arent worth bothering with and all of them will require modification to bolt up to the RB.

mis-understanding - the supra 5 speed was in a RB30DE VL BT1, i was going to take the whole conversion out and put it in my car but i sold the bt1!
