fiting an R34 GTR 6 speed gearbox to a 1990 300ZX TT

Is it possible to fit an R34 6 speed gearbox to a 1990 Z32 300ZX twin turbo

You should try asking in the General Car Discussion forum

and i can answer you now to save the trouble

i dont think so cos the box in the BNR34 is a 4WD box and yeh... 300ZX is rwd sorry... byes

this is partly true.

With anything automotive, nothing is impossible as long as you have the money, time, knowledge and engineering finesse to perform such a conversion.

Obviously the physical size of the box will be of first interest - it may not clear you car's transmission tunnel, exhaust(s), etc.

Obviously you would need to get a laser cut adaptor plate made which converts between the skyline RB26DETT block bolt pattern for the gearbox side and also the corresponding pattern for your VG30DETT engine side. you will have to take into account all things like starter motor position and the use of a custom hybrid clutch assembly. A 4WD gearbox in a RWD? Don't hook up the front differential propeller shaft. Oh, and you'll need a tailshaft shortened or lengthened to suit with a skyline front yokes to 300ZX rear yokes.

Serious track and drag racers do this all the time when swapping around transmissions.

but this poses the question on a street car, and with such a hassle: WHY???

alot of time and money.

Just a general question....besides having the obvious extra gear in the 6-speed...is the R34 box considered stronger or weaker than the earlier 5-speed GTR boxes.
