Now, I'm not sure what type of modifications this would require to a z32 gearbox, or whether it fits in the stock box. Though, if it fits the stock box you could probably use this gear set in your rb25 transmission, since they have the same gears. I'm considering an OSG 5spd gear set in the future just because I found it really cheap! ;) Not like I would be making enough power to need it but, I'd do it just because I can.


i dont think an OS Giken 6sp gearset designed for the Z32 trans will fit in the RB25 case. the gears and synchros between the RB25 and Z32 are the same but the shaft lengths are different due to different case lengths.

but do they use a different mainshaft/countershaft setup-up, or do they use the stock shafts?

thats the qualifier.
