this question is so vague... i assume you mean will an s15 transmission bolt to your RB which is eventually going into an s14? nothing has a problem fitting in an s14. hell you can put the transmission in your trunk if you wanted.

but i assume you mean "can i use an RB front bellhousing, place it onto the S15 transmission, then bolt that onto my RB motor". If thats your question then you should phrase it that way. My guess is I highly doubt it will be a direct bolt up, but hey give it a shot who knows

If you have a S15 transmission and no RB or KA transmission then have someone make you a Bellhousing adapter plate. It's not too complicated so It shouldn't cost HUGE amounts of $$.Just make sure of the thickness and your clutch setup. (ie Bearing, Disk, hydralics etc...)

Bro SEARCH ummm... Like Z32 transmission vs RB25DET or somethingThere was a awesome thread that showed the differences.I think the Z32 would not bolt up.I believe you would still need a adapter.NOT SURE

Z32 Clutch is a regular Push type.Only the R34 I believe is a Pull Type

bill i remember reading some of your threads before, i believe when u first got your rb26.

look ill try and help. i might have an rb25det transmission i can sell to u. i live in tucson, az tho. i've never used it but i got it from venus-auto in sacramento so im sure it works good. fyi no clutch either and bad thing is i might still keep it so i wont know for sure right now.

however if u dont find one in a month let me know and by then ill know if i will sell it or not.

if i do right now im looking at charging like 800 obo.

Id like to hear this from an actually S15 owner or S15 full swaped SR. I think all this talk about how weak that transmission is is hearsay copied from like one website years ago thats just spread over the internet like wildfire.
