All Lseries boxes will bolt up, just having them to suit cars is a different story.

Datsun 1600, stanza and r30 use short type boxes while the rest have longer ones. To fit a long box you'll need a shortend tailshaft, a new shifter hole sitting further back(also might have centre console probs in a r30? ) and a new gearbox crossmember.

CA SR and Rb boxes can also be used with a Lseries bellhousing, Lseries mainshaft or laygear bearing. These boxes also will need a shortend tailshaft and shifter hole further back than a 240k, zed long gearbox due to the shifter sitting further over the output shaft.

Do u mean L26? :huh::P

na sorry for not being more informative but i was meaning a 6 cyl L series and also cheers works 510 for the info so a 1600 box is basically the same box as an r30 box, would a L18 gearbox fit ??? or is it different? thanks for your help been pretty usefull

cheers paul.

An l18 gearbox from a 510 would fit but it wouldn't be a 5 speed unless someone has already put in an r30 or a stanza dog leg box :D. I just used those cars to say what has the short box.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
