Most nissan boxes are a 2 part box with a sandwhich plate in the middle 
that carries the shafts/gears.
These boxes can be split and the front half (read belhousings, but its a 
little more than that) are typically interchangeable.
You will often need to change the bearing that sits in the 'bell 
housing" as they are of varing OD sizes.

So splitting a 1600 box to obtain the bell housing, and simply bolting 
this to most any other nissan 5 speeds will enable you to bolt it to 
your R series roadster engine . Just remember to put that blue sealing 
goop between the half's and away you go.

Gearbox's that i have seen this done to and fitted to a roaster include 
Z box's, but the list does not stop there. Skyline 5 speeds are also 
very good (till ~82).

R,
James
