For the sake of cost comparison, I’m currently embarking on putting a new 5 speed into my R33. I imported a new RB25DET gearbox from Japan, which was about AU$3.3k delivered to my door. It was a very slow process (~2 months) and I got extremely lucky with the exchange rate. The twin plate clutch I bought was about AU$1.8k. I've also had to buy all the additional parts required to convert the gearbox from a pull type clutch to a push type clutch. Total cost is about AU$5.5k, so GTSBoy is pretty close to the money. -
Yeah, The Japanese had/have a problem with doing crap like that to undeserving shitboxen. -

I run a CD009. See my DIY for info on what I spent. 6800$ isn't cheap, but it's not terrible either. Keep in mind, you'll still need the following parts. - Shifter relocation kit - Trans Mount - Driveshaft - Slave Cylinder - Rear final drive (This doesn't have to be done right away.) - Some new way to detect speed. -
Yikes. That might do well in the Automotive Abominations thread! -
Seems a reasonable price, some other things to consider, driveshaft & xmember, you'll need to run the speedo off the abs, an after market lever/bracket. You'll most likely want to change the diff ratio, do you need any kind of certification in the uk for it? If the car is quite low, the cd will hang down lower than the 25 box.
