rb box conversion for sr20det????

so it looks like iv broke the output shaft on my 180sx sr box. i could do without this happening every time i bring the car out so I'm going to bite the bullet and do the rb box conversion on it.
i need to know all the details of what i need and all the modifications needed to do this.

#obviously an rb box but are there different ones ie. r32/r33gts/gtst etc....?

#conversion plate from sr to rb

#which prop shaft do you shorten and use. 180sx or the rb prop shaft?

#what gearbox cross member/ mount do i need for this?

#whats the full details about the starter mounting etc....?

#details about an extra hole needing to be drilled in the bell housing or where it mates with the block?

#any tunnel modifications needed, ie. the shifter being positioned 6cm closer to the dash?

#will speedo sensors ect.. need to be different, will my rev counter and speedo read correctly or is there something that need to be done there too?

is there anywhere or anyone that can supply this conversion complete with all the mods done and ready to bolt in?
Are there any gains regarding gear ratios by dong this conversion or is it purely just for strength?

Yep if you want one of my plates get it throgh WKD.

The only differance on the 180/s13 is the prop, i can supply mesurments and info on places to get the prop done.
The starter you just need to drill the threaded holes out to 11.5mm, some later starters (s14a/s15) need some of the location skirt trimming off but its like 2mins with a grinder.

There is one threaded hole in the bell housing that needs drilling to 11.5mm too(is at about 4-5oclock looking at the housing from the engine side)
The shifter hole in the body needs elongating 60mm forword.

All the sr sensors (appart from the speedo) screw streight in to the rb box so no need to splice wires. The speedo needs splicing, with 4.1:1 diff and 17" wheels it spot on by GPS.

The GTST box x member mates streight up using either the rb or sr mount, the GTST x member is the same as an s14 auto member, so you can use one of them if you cant get GTST.
All parts are from r33 GTST, thogh you can fit any RB box configeration using the plates.

I can supply modded props or hole conversions, but idealy would need to be done throgh WKD as he is my IRL dealer and i dont want to tread on his turf;)

The conversion is very simple and takes no longer than 30mins longer than a normal box change.

Can i just ask do these plates affect the spigot bearing at all the fact that the box is that 5 or 6mm further back from the engine?

No, the rb box input shaft is a few mm longer than the sr one, also if you fit a new spigot bush with the kit and fit it flush with the end of the crank(stock is about 5mm in) then you will actully have more spigot location than with a stock set up:)
