Neb is the winna :mrgreen:
The box does fit, only prob is that say 8 out of 10 bolts will line up, the other two were left out. Worked fine for me.
Just make sure you treat your box nice and the more power you start putting thru the box the more you have to take care of it!
Good thing is that the CA20E box is found everywhere in Aus. Cheap as chips 8)

I have a CA20 box on mine atm, its fine (although the gear ratios aren't the best). Its been on for around 5 years all up I think (myself and last 2 owners). Its making some input shaft noise now, but thats my fault for running too much boost ^_^

I think input shaft noise is common to nissan boxes in general though, should be good for a few more years yet :)
Hey salps12 i might be putting a CA20e box into our drift bluebird (910), the CA18DET box is apparently about to go (i havn't driven the car yet :() but since i have the CA20e box there it's going in, then we'll abuse the hell out of it and get back to you on durability :P
