You could always use a ZD30 gearbox and get an adapter kit made up.

The ZD30 gearbox will take the power with ease.

Dont know what box the 180, 200 and 240 SX's run, but according to wikipedia some had the KA24DE engine which bolts directly to the Z24 gearbox. they often run the SR20 DET engine at well over 2ooHP ??? Not sure about Aussie spec SX's as they may differ

 

[Timtams]

thats actually a really good point as all the import nissan stuff there is alot of tough gear for them, which gives me alot of options without having to learn what a ZD30 is lol

180sx, 200sx and 240sx in the us ran the ka24 engine as the sr20det was banned from use on roads in california because of its emissions. the sr20det gearboxes are junk. ca18det gearboxes are slightly better but not sure weather they will bolt up. the mod we usually did on our silvia's is to get the rb25 (r33 skyline) or z32 (300zx) gear box and cut and weld bellhousings to make it fit
