Nissan 90-series transmission was the FS5R90A, a Borg Warner T5 in 1982-1983 280ZX Turbo. Often it is replaced by the more common 71C series box which is reportedly just as durable.
- 1983 came with a L28 bellhousing.
- 1984-1987 came witha VG bellhousing
World Class
The bad crap T5 are the pre-1986 ones, while the WC T5 is the fave budget performance box worldwide for any conversion no matter what engine. The T5 in post-1986 models shift a world away from the earlier horrible contraptions that were the first T5 boxes. Ive driven Falcon utes, panelvans and other post-1986 T5 and they where nice to shift and very reliable while the earlier ones are just plain trash.

The T5 can be swapped into Datsun 1200 using an A-seris automatic bellhousing and an adapter plate. The input shaft is easily removed which helps for shortening to suit A-series spigot bush etc. Use a 5mm adaptor from box to the auto bellhousing, machined input shaft and Ford Escort type clutch to A-series flywheel and Ford hydraulic release bearing.
It's a very modular gearbox and cheap -- close ratio gearsets cost $1095 USD.
Example 2.6, 2, 1.5, 1.25, 1:1
GM Camaro World Class T5. Amazingly this strong box -- that usually sits behind monster engines -- only weighs 33kg (about the same weight as the 63A 5-speed).
GM S-10 pickup T5 is the shorty and lighter again by maybe 2-3kg
WC T5 in shift feel is like the Nissan 71C (S13/S14) gearboxe, very sure crisp shifts where you know exactly where the gates are everytime.
