Hi all.
Would just like to know how much would a secondhand datsun overdrive 5-speed normal shift pattern gearbox cost in today's world.
Cheers.

IF you can find one (watch ebay religiously) then budget $1000+. Typically $1200 lately...

one mob down in adelaide i think has one on ozdat classifieds for $1400

they tend to sell or around $350NZD on www.trademe.co.nz. If they are selling for that knid of money in OZ, it's probably a viable option to have one freighted accross the ditch.

but they are all real dogs as everyones thrashed them. Really hard to find a decent one and usually end up with a dunger.
Freight would be really high and all that, right bart RIGHT?

how much could freight be? A crated 60 series weighs about 80 lbs, I remember shipping in the US being around $80 on the last one i got.

heaps. possibly to much to warrent getting one from NZ. Oh well they'll just have to stay here

why is it so much to ship things?

So I have been reading about the 5 speeds a fair bit as I want to get my hands on a datsun item, but the main question that I cant decide on is should I try to get the '60' or '63'? I guess the question is how much torque (approx) would a really worked forced induction a15 put out? I like the idea of the '60' box because its small and light.

I realize that the boxes are really costly and would be looking to fright it from over seas...

Thanks....

for a NA A15 the standard 60 would hold up, for a boosted engine, the 1-2 shift will have a lot of load and will probably end up breaking the case, the 63A will help since the 1-2 shift won't be as fast, and it's stronger...
