Gearbox Conversion Help
Hi all,
I need help in gearbox conversion, Genuine Help i mean, I been reading for the conversion for quite sometime. but still stuck in a stage of choosing between Z32 (5spd), Z33 (6spd), S14 (5spd) I am driving a Nissan Silvia S15,daily street driving & randomly launching or drifting throughout times, I am running around 320hp, with Nismo GT L.S.D Pro TT. Currently running a S14 Gearbox. Previously blown one S13 gearbox. 1. Strong and longer lasting Gearbox 2. usually Is the gearing and syncro already repair by the seller? or is it a luck thing on the use gearbox? 3. which gearbox will you actually recommend? Z32 (5spd) or Z33 (6Spd) (i am tired of replacing gearboxes already after recent S14 gearbox up for less than 4mths. started to have sound inside already 4. During the time when i am with S13/S14 gearboxes, everytime when i release throttle and speedo starting to drop from 100km/h down, everytime it passes the 90-80km/h (2.2 - 2.4rpm) it will have a noise (either i will called it a tramping or gearing noise) then back to normal again. If i uses the Z32/33 Gearbox and uses back the S15 clutch set & dual mass flywheel. does it solve the NVH? 5. Do i need cutting of any chassis area with the above mention gearbox? 6. Using back dual-mass flywheel better or single mass flywheel (lke stock S14) is better? 7. 5spd or 6spd is better for both driveability and drifting. I actually want something responsive & fun to drive/drift. (5 or 6 spd is actually best for drifting?) 8. is the shifting feel the same as S14 (5spd)/ S15 (6Spd) with the Z32(5spd)/Z33(6spd) 9. Thank you guys |

I believe the dual mass is s15 6d specific?
Z32 boxes are all old now Z33 boxes are much newer, better, and cheaper How you are nuking boxes that quickly with low power is surprising

There are a couple ways to do it:
-Adapter plate. The thickness of the plate material needs to be machined off of the Z33 bellhousing. -Mazworks SR to CD Bellhousing. The old Z33 bellhousing is cut off and this one is bolted in it's place. However, it's attached by the Input Shaft Cover bolts. I would question that strength. |

maverick one requires machining roughly 12-15mm off the face of the z33 bellhousing. |

z33 speed sensor is in the diff, so if you wish to have speedo, you can either get a abs diff and read off of that, or use a gps speedo like this one
http://www.jegs.com/i/Auto+Meter/105...0efxoCa0_w_wcB z33 final drive gear ratio was either 3.3 or 3.5, so 4.11 will be much shorter, but I think it should still be ok even for freeway prop shaft will need to be custom made due to length difference. z33 trans is longer than sr20 trans so the drive shaft will need to be shorter |

Since you have an s15 you already have a speed sensor in your differential. Your speedo will work the same no matter the transmission.
