R33 GTS-t and 300ZX manual gearboxes the same?

[Chris Wilson]

Anyone know for sure if 300ZX and R33 GTS-t manual boxes are interchangeable? Ratios I am not worried about, just casing, bellhouising and shafts. Thanks.

your best bet for a 100% sure answer would be to PM boosted Zed, or give him a call at UAS.

I assume you mean Z32 300ZX ??....if so the answer is no. Z32 bellhousing bolt pattern is different for a start plus the starter motor is 'reversed' (ie points to the back of the car, not the front). If that's not enough the shifter arrangement is very different between the two - Z32 uses a 'remote' shifter which is not directly attached to the gearbox (there's an external linkage rod arrangement).

The good news is the ratios are the same
