Probably a typo Rob - my 3.9 R200 was a whisker under 30kg incl packaging for shipping.
Many years ago I weighed an R180 and a R200 and yes the bigger diff is significantly heavier but by about 6.5kg.

Sorry, thought you were suggesting the use of r180s on MZRs was evidence that r200s are unnecessary on performance s30s. :confusedYou'd have to ask any owners that - I don't even know how many bespoke cars they've sold so far.
I see photos of the :
pale green Z
blue Z
Samuri Z
Orange Z
ZG kitted Z
and those classic versions (white Z and green Z) sold before the NEC.
I sold the one I took off the 14a box on eBay. Might’ve been about 40 quid. The 14 and 14a ones have value because they allow 13 gearboxes to be used with SR20DETs. Useful if installing an SR20 into an S13 car (which people do), or putting an S13 box into an S14 car.Does anyone know if the old bellhousing from these gearboxes have any value or are they just thrown away?

S13 bellhousings probably only have scrap value.
Richie, I think there are a few more differences than you think ranging from the S13 to the S14a box. In the search for syncros for my S14a, I spent a long time getting various VIN numbers and registrations for various S14a years and Nissan/Glyn Hopkin came up with 4 different part diagrams for the years 1996 -2000. All with small subtle differences. And this is only for the Euro box. And that doesn’t include the syncros/baulk rings which definitely differ.
Since things generally develop and evolve for the better, I would think that the latest box (S14a) is the best to have. At least the SXOC seem to agree.

- certainly not enough to make it worth passing on a decent S13 or 14 box to hunt down a 14a. P.
I will happily donate to your chosen local charity should you donate me your unwanted S13 boxes
Some of us have 4 pots that use s13's boxes...
Not the same I know, but the gearboxes are continuously revised in the 350Z and 370Z too. It seems some things never change / always change.
r160's are interesting IMO.
I've put about 1000 miles on mine now and been pretty hard on it to , cars bloody quick with the 4.1 compared to the old 3.54 and a lot more fun with the LSD
