All Z31 transmissions are completely interchangeable. They have no problems bolting up to the motor. The problem comes in when you try to mount the driveshaft. Each transmission has it's own output shaft size. Finding the appropriate driveshaft for a two seater is no problem. Just find another two seater that had the same transmission and take that driveshaft. If you have a four seater, you're going to have a more difficult time. Only in Canada did the North American market get a turbo four seater. And almost all of them were automatics. So you'll need to find the appropriate driveshaft for the transmission you just bought and have the driveshaft lengthened. If you get a FS5W71C, there are plenty of 2+2 5 speed models around. The only thing left is to determine if your differential companion flange is correct for the driveshaft.

- The FS5R30A is very similar to the 300ZX transmission internally. The Getrag is similar to the transmission used in the MK IV Toyota Supra. The input shaft and main shaft are unique to the GT-R on both transmissions, the rest of the internal parts are interchangeable.
- The Nissan FS5R30A transmission is fitted to a number of performance RWD and 4WD vehicles including the BNR32 and BCNR33 Skyline GTR and non-performance high torque applications in vehicles such as the Patrol/Safari and Pathfinder.

There is also sometimes a problem when you try to mount the transmission to the body of the car. Some people have experienced issues with mounting the 87-89 transmissions into the 84-86 bodies. If the holes do not line up perfectly, you have several options. You can drill and tap new holes in the body (you might want to reinforce it). You can slot the holes in the transmission crossmember. Or you could stretch the bushing to mount it (not recommended).

Fs5r30a Gearing
The king daddy of the Z31 manual transmissions is the FS5R30A. This transmission is the same design as the transmission used in the Z32 300ZX models. Only the gear ratios are different. There are Z32s running these transmissions with well over 600 horsepower and are not blowing them up.
