i have heard that too but all mine were longer than mk2 silvia. i suspect that the earlier s13 boxes are the same as the mk2 s12s anyway (they share the same FW part number accoring to FAST iirc.
why not measure the overall length from bell housing face to end of box, not including tin cup shit shield thingy? I have mk2 s12 box here from a mate that i can then measure up.

Sounds like you see red craig on the track. One of our Marcos drivers always snaps his and couldnt work out why when all the other 8 drivers never had problems. We put a new gearnob on it with a bolt head on the top holdin it on( on his request) and sure enough it wore right threw his glove and his hand in a half hour race lol. He has actually even snapped the whole gearbox ally top cover completely in half once . Animal!

I aint there to make up the numbers
i managed to pull an ebay quickshifter outta the box at Curborough!
ive now bought a B&M shifter from Apex and its just the best shift ever on the nissan box, well impressed. makes accurate sweet shifts every time, i dont have to slam it into gear to ensure itll go in and not miss. havent broken a box since its a bit like the quaife shifts on the ford boxes if you are familiar with them? sweeeet.

like ya trick with your driver tho, very good idea.
a mate runs a race team, they run GTs, porsches and vipers, radicals and the odd Formula BMW and they often tell their drivers all sorts of bull to get them to do what they want. Special pads, softer tyres than the next guy, all bollox of course

The marcos box is pretty much identical . dog boxes with Quaiffe gears and really easy to rebuild.


As for the bullshit that gets told. Id love to comment but its a public forum
