R33 Manual Gbox Vs Vl Turbo Gbox

[MZTRBO]

Hi,

Im am curious to know the difference in the r33 gearbox and the vl turbo 5speed gearbox....

have they got the same power rating....I know the vl turbo box would be worst for wear as its older though.

Are they exactly the same, as in you could replace your r33 box for one.. I have an auto at the moment and considering changing to manual and i have noticed the vl turbo gboxs going alot cheaper..

Thank in advance for your replys..

Cheers

The VL boxes are going cheaper because of thier age.

And simply, i wouldnt go near one as they are virtually 20 years old as opposed to an R33 box of around 10years.

There are lots not that are breaking due to the extra wear and tear.

If your doing a conversion, definately pay the $$$ for the R33 box. Its work the money in the long run as if the VL box dies, replacement cost is more than the R33 would have been initially

the vlturbo is getting old.

single syncros,f**ked ratios,pretty oldschool and im pretty sure they use the external shifter like a z32

nope vlt use normal r33 type shifter. ive used z32 and its 1000 times smoother than vlt boxes. vlt boxes are like 4wd patrol boxes the way they shift rough and the space between gears are too far apart.

ive never used a r33 box so i cant comment.
