One's that clean rarely come up, its the nicest one I've ever come across and wish I have bought it however I just couldn't justify it...

As Mark says, they are rarely going to be "clean" - they are twenty year old gearboxes. Functionality is the most important aspect. And, cleanliness-wise, you have to remove the bellhousing anyway for replacement with a modified Z one, so do what I did (and will do on the two other S13/14 boxes I have) and have the bell and the tailshaft housing bead blasted. It's relatively easy to remove the tail housing; it just needs to be thoroughly washed out with a pressure washer, etc., to make sure no media remains before you put the gear set back in!

Ok.
I’m torn between buying and fitting either a 260z gearbox, 280zx gearbox or going for the S14.
I know the S14 will end up costing a lot more. But unfortunately my 240z gearbox crunch’s in 1st and 2nd.

are you explicitly excluding S13 boxes? I would include all (? maybe!) FS5W71C boxes in your search.
This is the eBay search I use for interesting gearboxes. It picks up quite a lot of junk but most of the interesting stuff too.
(s13,s14,s14a,200sx,ca18,sr20,180sx,240z,260z,280z,280zx,300zx,z31,fs5w71,fs5c71) (gearbox,gearboxes) -auto -automatic -bmw

so I'm guessing the 6 speed S15 gearbox won't accept the S30 bell-housing

It’s not the same ‘family’. You need to cut and weld the housing.

You might think this is blasphemy franky but there is an L series to 350z adapter. 350 gearboxs are quite cheap in the UK

I'm using a RB to 370 CD09 on my car once I found a place to do the machining

I don’t think it’s blasphemy at all.
The cd09 is just such a massive heavy lump of metal

I need it for the RB power, understand on an L series its overkill

why? whats wrong with a normal RB box? The cd009 has issues with excess of torque, might be worth looking into.

5 speed and they are all knackered, they were a disposable item to 500BHP skylines.... they are also not so cheap now. I had a R33GTR with 450BHP myself back in the day

Just stripped an S14 box and mod’d a 240z bellhousing to suit this week. Really difficult to machine the bearing housing in the bell up to larger required diameter, even in a big workshop there was nothing large enough. The box was a gamble, £140 from a guy in wales who’d had it sat for yrs, but it seems to be a minter.

How did you machine it in the end ?

Ended up with a really long end mill in a CNC Miller, but it’s not a tool ud normally have. Ideally a big lathe and face plate with a long boring bar.
