Vl 5 Speed Manual Into An R33

[BB81DO]

hey all

just a question

will a VL 5 Speed fit into an R33 Skyline??

i was looking at the bell housing bolt hole and they look the say

if so will i need to splice the loom from my r33 for the revering lights ??

any infomation on this will be great

it is pretty much same box sensors will fit in the top of shifter housing is bigger

the ratios are short as and the throw on the leaver is massive

its still a mx7 box tho

i tlearnt the hard way buying a box from asian auto spares told me it was a r33 box but was a vl turbo one

so dont know why u would want to

the vl gear ratios are the same as the non turbo rb25 box, which are only a fraction shorter than the turbo box ratios. the VL had a much taller diff than the skylines though (about 3.45:1 vs 4.11:1 in the turbo 33 if my memory serves me right).

strength wise though the rb25 turbo box is a much better/stronger gearbox, so if you are looking to put a manual in your car (noticed that you say your car is auto in your car info), then i would just go the rb25 turbo box. will set you back more money but they are a better box, and if you are pushing a bit more power than stock then you will pretty much need it if you plan on doing any sort of track work.
